tiny studio apartment tour - Erasmus in Bucharest 

Agreed! It really is my little corner ✨ of course there are a couple of things that I wish were different buuuut life here is still pretty good!

This might be surprising, but all the apartments I looked at in Bucharest had laundry! Some didn't have a kitchen at all, or didn't have a bed (just pull out couch) but still had laundry 😂😂 it seems like the top priority

@@martinafacose Very surprising 😁

@@bonniepwtf In Romania it's actually very uncommon to not have laundry :) We don't have laundromats at all (I guess the culture of laundromats didn't catch here I guess). I had a shock when I went to the states and saw people wash their clothes where others have. To me that's just crazy 😅

@@candycolor10 ☺️

Ouch, Paris standards sound a bit crazy 😂 thank you 💞

@@martinafacose how much is the rent?

350. I consider it quite expensive, but if you've seen my videos you'll know I was desperate ahah. I know in Paris rent is really expensive though

@@martinafacose It’s actually not that expensive if it’s in a good location, I would imagine you are in short distance/have good metro connection to the University. It does have everything you need, including washing machine, AC, etc. Being an older video Idk if you still live there but I hope you enjoyed/are enjoying your stay.

Ahahah been there done that 😂

I would have to sleep downstairs and keep upstairs as the office for when I’m caffeinated. 😂

Yeah I'm really lucky to have found this place. Thank you 💖

Hey! Yeah, I think if you compare this to a student dorm room it's a lot of space! But this place was not designed for students, that's why it's considered very small compared to the average size of apartments here 😂 And to be honest, it's a new construction so it doesn't really reflect the "Eastern style" (not saying that there's a unitary style in all Eastern European countries, but similarities do exist!) Also, thanks for appreciating my honesty ahahah💖. I just decided when I opened the channel that I would not try to project any kind of image except for who I am. That's also why sometimes I film without doing my hair or with ugly outfits, I'm not about to pretend I'm put together all the time 😂😂

I agree. I live in Zagreb, capital of Croatia in a cozy 150sq feet apt and all my friends love it😂 Its small but just like this girl, I have everything I need, I live in a really nice neighbourhood in a city center, have all the stores, food market, everything in a walking distance.

​@martinafacose I respect you the way you feel comfortable 💯 👌 ✨️ 😊. Nice place & cherish it. I would rent 1 like this visiting Romania.🇷🇴 Great people.❤ Thank you. 🎉😊

Yeah it's really a tiny house😂 Only one thing, I'm actually in Bucharest, Romania, not in Paris💞💞

Yeah! Even though I don't think I'll ever use the AC, the electricity bill is crazy 😭

Lol, yeah congrats an be careful on those ridiculous loft steps 😮😊

Hi! Honestly, I've come close to killing myself on those stairs when I have a big suitcase or when it's wet out, so I understand 😂 but yeah, the place is really nice 💖 Rent is a bit expensive for my standards, it's 350€/month, but I get a scholarship for doing Erasmus so it's alright!

So that’s $380 USD.

That is actually the same floor plan as a young woman in Tokyo, but it is at least 3 times as big as hers and she pays $600

It has already happened once😂😂

Ikr… that part had me dying laughing.😂😂

Meh

💀🤣 That was real.

Heyy✨ honestly I also don't know how most people got here ahahah, until a couple of months ago I had 20 views on average 😂 I'm glad you enjoyed!! 💖

Congratulations on getting your own place, I'm happy you're enjoying it. I feel you, I also don't enjoy living with family, being independent is much better ✨

Thank you very much!! 💖

Oh for sure! The place is not bad at all 💞

I think the very high ceiling gives the impression that it's really spacious! Well it's a good thing 😂✨

I totally agree! Before I've always lived in shared accomodations (sometimes in flats, sometimes in dorms) and I realize I always stayed in the same space to sleep, study and do everything else. Here I've got a pretty good separation between the night area and the day area. I like it!

Thank you very much 😊

Ahahhaha thanks a lot! Yeah I do get excited 😂💞

Thank you very much! 💖

The bedroom is great, what a lovely addition.

Apart from some difficulties in the winter, I've enjoyed the apartment very much! And Romania has been amazing as well 💞

Hey! There is already a place to hang the towel on the bathroom door, honestly that is not a big issue! Bigger problems are, for example, the fact that taking a shower completely floods the toilet, the floor and the sink, so after showering I have a good 4 hours when the bathroom is just a pool😂 and nothing ever dries because it's such a small space that it remains really humid 😂

@@martinafacoseHere I am thinking a wet room would be so much easier to clean. Can you get a flexible shower head you can direct the flow? And/or a high powered fan you can place in front of the entrance?

The shower head is detachable so there's no problem with cleaning! It's just that being a very small and closed space, it doesn't dry and it's very humid. After a shower the floor can remain wet for the whole day. Sooo either I clean and dry every single time I use the bathroom, or the floor is going to be a mess 😂

​@@martinafacoseMost people have to dry the bathroom after every use if you dont want a mould problem. A squeegee rubber blade will clear the water in no time.

Thankfully I haven't had any issues with mould so far! Honestly I'm just waiting for spring weather so I can keep the window open all the time and speed up the drying naturally ahahah

Hey! Eventually I will make a video like that, yeah. But I have a bit of different content that I will post first 💞

Thank you very much! 💞

Thank you!! 💞

Thanks a lot! Yeah I'm adapting quickly, even though I'll admit that I sometimes miss having a dry bathroom floor😂

I've been using the flashlight from my phone! Without it I can't make it up the staircase ahahah

@@martinafacose Buy one of those flashlights that goes on your forehead and has a band around your head to hold it on. You can then go up and down the stairs and use both your hands.

I would love to have one of those flashlights, but to be completely honest I would forget it home 6 days out of 7, then the 7th day I would be too lazy to put it on just for a few seconds 😂💞

Thank you! I've always wanted to visit Alaska!💕

Thank you very much! 💞

Yeah I'm very lucky to be here! The only thing that would make it really perfect is a slightly bigger bathroom. But there are so many positive things that at the end of the day I'm 100% satisfied 💖

This is a fun fact, ALL the apartments I saw in Bucharest has a washer. Literally all of them. Some didn't have a kitchen or a bed, but always a washer!! 😂

The storage is actually very good! I just wish I had a shelf for my books, cause I feel bad closing them in a closet of something 😂

Thank you very much! Yeah, the loft bedroom is a game changer here 💓

Heyyy thanks a lot! ✨

Hey! Thanks a lot! I have some ideas for future content, also some vlogs, and I even have a bit of content filmed, but unfortunately I've been submerged by exams for a while and I haven't had any time for editing. I hope to get back soon! Also, I really hope you'll manage to see some more of the world in person too, good luck with that 💞

Thank you so much! I've been wondering if people notice my accent a lot 😂

Thank you 💖

Well that couldn't be me because I don't have a car to live in 😂

Thank you very much 💕

... surprise!! 🎉😂

Thank you! Yeah I'm lucky not to be afraid of heights ahah

Thank you! Luckily Bucharest seems really safe so I've never needed pepper spray or anything like that so far 💕

Thank you! It really is cosy✨

Thank you!! 💕

Thank you very much 💕

350€! It's a bit much for me, but yeah the apartment is very beautiful. I'm really enjoying Bucharest for now 💖

Thanks a lot!

Thank you! 💞

Thank you 💖

Originally I was going to be there just for six months, but a lot happened and I'm actually staying one year now! 💖

It is really good I agree! Where I'm from we generally wear shoes in the house though ☠️

Yes I'm trying 💖💖

Yeah I agree! Thank you✨

Thank you ✨

In all honesty, I don't know how they put the furniture in! The biggest object I've carried up myself has been my big suitcase (20kg) and that was already a struggle 😂💕

Thank you very much 💕

That's actually smart, I might think about it!💞

Thank you!!

I had to Google what "media unit" meant ahahha. Unfortunately it wouldn't fit where the coffee table is! It's hard to understand proportions from the video, but there's very little space left downstairs. I wouldn't be able to walk anymore if I occupied even more of the floor 😂

Thanks!!

Oh I know the location is very good! I mentioned this in my previous videos about the apartment search, but I'm also used to living in dorms. I just had many bad flatmate experiences in the last few years and I needed a break 😂

Thank you 💞💞

I'm sure some very talented people could move a few things around and make this a dream place! I'm more likely to just slap some posters on the wall😂💞

Well my apartment is actually really new, it's just the house next to it that is old. So I guess my neighbors would be the unlucky ones

The loft is really a lifesaver ahaha, mostly because of the bed. If I had to open up the couch to sleep I would need to give up on the desk, cause the room doesn't fit both!

I know there are cheaper places outside the center, but since I'm living in Bucharest short term I chose to prioritize the position of the apartment, so that I could reach my university easily by foot 🌷

Hey! Of course, you're free not to follow, no hard feelings here 💞 I will most definitely choose to keep swearing. I don't find it universally impolite, I believe language is situational and it has a time and place. I have been a teacher before, of course I would've never thought of swearing in front of my students because that's not the place to do so. When I'm in my own home, I'm just being myself, and I don't see any reason to maintain formal language! So that's why swear words are going to pop in every now and then 😂✨

@@martinafacose Fair enough!😊

Thank you for commenting on the effects of using swear words when presenting this lovely little home. It made the tour much less appealing to me... even tho it is "quite cute" as the new renter says. It is equipped for accommodating nearly all a student is likely to need.

For my budget it's a lot 😭 350€/month. But thankfully I have a scholarship ✨

Thanks! Hopefully soon🤞🏼🤞🏼

Yeah I agree 😂💖

Sorry for the late reply, it's more or less 380$ ✨

Thanks 💞

Thanks! 💖

If you still want to see the apartment you can mute the video and watch it at 2x speed 😂 But being serious, it's alright if you don't want to watch, if you are very against swearing probably my content is not for you💞

Hey! Than you for your very nice comment 💞 regarding profanity, unfortunately I don't think I can completely eliminate swearing because it's simply part of how I speak. I don't like the idea of changing the way I speak just for RU-vid, I feel that it would be disingenuous and also, at some point I would forget, I would swear in a video and everyone would be even angrier because I said I'd stop 😂 I will of course be respectful and I won't use very offensive language, slurs or anything like that cause I don't do it in real life, but for sure there's going to be a random "f*ck" or "sh*t" every now and then

It's sad that people don't consider the 'F' word offensive. It wasn't so long ago that the word would never be used on TV, in the workplace or in public, especially by a female.

I mean, until not so long ago "as a female" I wouldn't be able to show my naked knees or have a divorce without being considered offensive 😂 I'm really thankful to be alive now and not in the past 💞

I understand.

Well it's good that you stopped to the first one cause I said many more after! 😂💖

I would really love that!!

It's really everything I need! Honestly, the steps are not so bad, but I still have to pay attention to them even after a few months going up and down every day😂 thanks and best wishes to you too!💞

Thanks!!

Hey! I'm living here for one year, so I'm not bringing anything more than just clothes and some things I need. I have the rest of my things in storage at my parents' place in Italy, but it's just old stuff, no furniture or anything ✨

@@martinafacose oh ok cool thanks! Yeah, I currently rent a room in a house and am always wondering what's going to happen to my stuff if I can only find furnished places to move into hehe . .enjoy your space!

I hope you'll figure it out! I've lived in about five different places and they've always been furnished, so I've never had to worry about that. Only once I didn't have a desk, so I borrowed my grandma's spare desk which I gave back when I moved 😂

@@martinafacose haha I see! Yeah, trying to! Don't want to move back to the mainland...a lot of that depends on stuff happening this week so I'm trying to stay positive:)

Good luck!! 🤞🏼

Thanks!!

Thanks!! 💖💖

Thanks for the recommendation! When I was looking for an apartment I also considered living in Titan or Militari. However, since I'm going to stay in Bucharest just for a limited amount of time, plus I'm going to travel to the city center every single day for university, it still felt more convenient to live in the center😊

It can be yours after I move out 😂💕

I pay 350€/month, which was literally my maximum budget so I'm crying inside a little bit😂 but it's okay, considering how hard it was to find a place to live I'll consider myself lucky!

@@martinafacose Too much, in Drumul Taberei you cand find a 2 rooms apartment with 350-370 EUR on month. And the space is kind of 45-60 square meters.

@@alexevo8016that looks like it's located somewhere in the Bucharest center area, so rent is going to be higher.

Thank you ✨

Yeah many people think so!! ✨

Thank you! 💞

Thanks for the comment! "Interesting wet bath closet" made me laugh so much😂😂 it's the perfect description

Per trovarlo ho dovuto vendere l'anima 😂 ho un video apposta in cui spiego tutto quello che è successo nella ricerca dell'appuntamento! In ogni caso, come sito ho usato immobiliare.ro

Thanks!! ✨

Thank you! Unfortunately I don't think I will stop cursing, so I'll accept that I won't be great 😂💞

Thanks!

Thank you! ✨

Thank you very much 🎉✨

Thank you 💖💖 I agree that there are a lot of good things about this apartment! I didn't get along with the old generation of spiders, but I'm open to be friends with a new generation if they come 😂
