Touring a NYC Micro Apartment ( 170sqft ) | Tiny Spaces 

Same thing I thought!!!

I utterly concur.

Absolutely! I was disturbed by the host rudeness

@@ac4498 I really don't think it's rudeness at all...!! She's nervous.

Obviously she's incredibly nervous, and is way over animated in her reactions to fill the empty sound space, which she can't even allow to happen. She's young, she'll get better at it. I notice she calms down a bit more towards the end.

The interviewer croaks the whole time like a hen in the yard leaving absolutely no space for the others to talk.

I know… that’s why I don’t watch her often.

I can't even understand what they're saying, sounded like birds or crickets,

God, she’s awful!

@@gfernandez8652 😂😂😂

That was my thought as well

It's one thing to do that because you want to, but the question is are you doing it because you have to? I loved going to the park or jogging trail, had a favorite coffeeshop, attended plays and poetry jams, went to concerts, conventions and movies, and exploring thrift stores and secondhand shops. And I did all this while living in Indianapolis, Indiana, and living in a 1-bedroom flat with far more space and paying less money. I'm happy she's happy. But other cities have great amenities and offer a vibrant social life without the cramped quarters and absurd price tag. I want everyone to be happy with where they live, but let's not act like that's the only place to create the life you want.

@@candacen7779 it’s a choice to live that lifestyle & it paid service to a period of my life when it was good. I left that life because I wanted a shift for more space & the ability to buy my own home, so I moved cities and moved states to do so nearly a decade ago. Millennials here in Australia have this righteousness that they deserve to live in Sydney & be able to buy a home that isn’t within their means - sorry but life doesn’t work that way. If you live in the centre of a major capital city then your choices & freedoms will be slim pickings. I you want more space and to be “happy” then YOU need to make the choice to move. I’m merely commenting on a video with a premise that’s all about micro-living for the sake of being able to live in a central metropolis. She’s happy, I’m happy for her but people in comments here are quite vocal about her choice like it is theirs. Cool, we’ll don’t live there.

This is the polite way of saying your apartment is so depressing that you avoid coming home to it as much as possible :D

@@r.handerlie9607 I lived my youth on a very old and big house and now on a tiny apartment and I don't regret it because you are not a cleaning slave squad 24/7

Exactly!

I am hooked on watching the small spaces videos. I have never lived in a city and I am stunned by the amounts that people pay for rent.

She is quite happy and doing what she loves so that's all that matters really. People who have lived in New York just love it because there's so much to do and the city NEVER sleeps.

Yes, love this comment!

Thank you so much!! :)

Rocky, we couldn't agree more!

This seems like a perfect spot for her with the exception that her dog doesn’t live with her.

"All your stuff" ceases to be an important phrase. You never get to have ALL of your stuff in a tiny space. You narrow it down to essentials only and maybe 3 or 4 nostalgia or decorative things. After that, you have reached maximum saturation and rotation is essential. 1 new thing coming in means 1 old thing goes out.

You think so until you realize 2 seasons of clothes don't fit in the closet and when summer is over and fall/winter comes in summer has to be stored somewhere. Where do you hang puffy winter jackets and a big shoe wardrobe god forbid you have boots! Where do you store extra sheets and towels and cleaning products a a Swiffer or broom?

Beautiful, very organized, lot of storage for tiny.

I imagine the bathroom is communal which I would hate.

yeah, I was wondering if she had one or had to share a bathroom with other renters.

Blah blah blah 🤣 I couldn't even finish the video.

Agreed!

i thought it was just me

It was really the interviewer who kept interrupting the girl trying to show her space....annoying

If you want to see more then watch the ladies Tik Tok.

Yes!!!!!!!

It’s New York… they over talk… everyone is pretty much loquacious and filled with excitement…

@@GiGiRedCherri I understand and she also may have just been anxious but you don’t learn from your experiences without any sort of critical assessment. It seemed to me that she was a little bit impatient and not very good at listening. If she wants to become good at interviewing she needs to become more patient and learn to listen better.

Nerve wracking.

Yes, bring it back!

Same here! I am looking forward to having a little cozy space all to myself again.

Well, ironically, if you end up in a nursing home or senior living apartment, then you'll miss having a lot more space, lol. So, be careful what you wish for.

It’s probably a shared bathroom which is disgusting.

@@goldieslacks Bathroom is in the front behind kitchen :) see original tiktok for more sneak peek

@@Emviolin417 Thanks!!

I live in NY and I mind lol. My college dorm in DC was virtually the same size.

YES

You are so right. Small spaces are far more interesting.

Did I miss the bathroom?? lol

@@belindabruceaustin7127 I get the implication from the size and its lack of mention that it is one of those types of apartments that share a bathroom with others on the same floor. A definite "No" for me if I were looking for an apartment. I have to have my own bathroom. Even if it is the size of a closet.

Same, I like the luxury stuff too but this is more relatable and I want to keep watching

Well said. We agree!

It's not for me, but I do like that it's also a pre-war building which makes me think the rent is actually a lot because you don't hear a sound from other units in that kind of building.

Same here, I don’t want a big house fill with stuff that it’s constantly a project to clean! I love my tiny apartment, I got all my essentials and the things that really matter to me ❤

EXACTLY!

Exactly! I laugh when I see these programs on how to live in a tiny space because New Yorkers (and Parisians, Londoners) have been doing the tiny thing for centuries.

A lot of NYers don't have what they need. They're simply making do with what they have, often because other greedy NYers are charging absurd prices for cubicle-size spaces. Singapore and Tokyo have a similar situation, but that is due to genuine land scarcity. Not just greed.

Where is the bathroom. Please 👍 🥰

Agreed.

@@dianebaker5243 Bathroom is in the front behind the kitchen. It was cut out due to time restraints- I do have a bathroom... and a bathtub! :)

Agreed. It really took away from the tour. Relax.

I had to stop watching it because of the interruptions 😝

Amen!!!

Double Amen. No matter the size, that's home for her and she is very proud of it 👏

See bathroom in original tiktok linked above :)

@@Emviolin417 wonder why skip it?

It was cut out due to time restraints- I do have a bathroom... and a bathtub! :)

@@Emviolin417 Is the bathroom in your studio, or is it a shared bathroom outside your apartment? I love your space, you have everything you need in a a fabulous city. Yes, you can get a MUCH larger place in BFE, but there is NO comparison. And I know because I live in BFE and would trade you in a heartbeat! LOVE YOUR SPACE!

@@rmonson5002 It's in my studio! I have my own shower, tub etc. If you watch again you see there is a space behind the "kitchen" area, across from the "foyer" that's where the bathroom is. I even have my own bathtub :)

@@Emviolin417 Right on! Great space, love the exposed brick!

Thank you!! :)

No, not safe and also not hygienic to climb the counter in what looked like her gym shoes, lol.

YAY!!! 717!!!

There will be more!

@@Trunswim1 I am a huge fan of NYMDL and Ryan Serhant since the beginning as well as you!

I doubt she needs a "little compensation." Clearly her parents or someone else is paying for that apartment. What she's making as a musician would not even begin to pay for that apartment.

Thank you!! :)

I grew up in a 300sq ft apartment with my father and sister. Now I live alone (husband died 8 months ago) in an over 7000 sq ft house. Until very recently, house prices in Idaho were quite cheap by national standards and this house cost us one third the price of a house one third the size of our house in Los Angeles where we moved from. My water bill last month was a whole $1.69. That is not a typo btw.

@@lisabaltzer4190 That's great pricing but what's in Idaho, lol?

@@skywalker6648 North Idaho has a bigger population than Spokane, Washington and a better standard of living. You should check out North Idaho or the Boise or Pocatello area sometime. Rexburg is beautiful too.

@@lisabaltzer4190 I'm saying what is there TO DO in Idaho to make it more interesting than living in LA where you said you used to live? I never said nothing about Spokane.

@@skywalker6648 There is hunting, fishing, boating, ice skating (rink and lake), roller rink, bowling, good restaurants, theatre’s,etc. I can do everything I did in Los Angeles in North Idaho. My only real complaint is about buying clothes and shoes. Most clothing is limited to farm and outdoorsy wear , and if you have tiny feet like I do, forget it. To get petite size clothing, I usually go to Spokane and I have to buy my shoes online. NOBODY carries my size shoes anymore 😔 (4 1/2).

😂🤷🏽‍♀️

You are so welcome! We are so happy you loved it!

It's probably what her parents, who also live on the Upper East Side, can afford to pay for.

Hello 👋 how are you doing?

Coming at you soon, Natalie :)

Thank you so much!! :)

Hi Iam, we are so excited to know that we have viewers from St. Vincent! Greetings from New York City :)

Love it!!

Thank you so much!! :)

Thank you!! :)

Thank you so much! :)

I think this video should be edited and add a voice over. Nice Space though 🤷🏽‍♀️

It's like that in all her videos. Can't watch them anymore.

I noticed that, it was distracting. The apt is so cute. To be able to live alone in NYC at her age is a gift/accomplishment.

Does your 180 have a bathroom?

@@kenyonbissett3512 yes. It has a small RV sized tub/shower, sink with vanity (and storage) a large medicine cabinet and of course a toilet. Total dimensions: 3' x 4' 10"".

@@suzannecranford6819 tiny but functional. We lived in an rev with a bathroom just like that while our home was being built (30x70). Every time I moved to wash a body part I hit my elbow, lol.

@@kenyonbissett3512 lol!!! It's amazing how I end up in there with 2 cats and 2 dogs all at the same time. I want to get a smaller toilet in order to gain a couple more inches of floor space. 😁

@@suzannecranford6819 having the 2 dogs, you must get out a lot. Are you near a park for them to enjoy?

It was cut out due to time restraints- I do have a bathroom... and a bathtub! :)

It appears to be by the door.

@@Emviolin417 Maybe, some of the conversation should have been cut instead. Since it would have allowed viewers a complete picture of the apartment :)

@@skywalker6648 You make a good point- unfortunately I had no control over what did/didn't make it into the video

@@ravent3016 Yes it's by the door behind the kitchen! you can see a sneak peak of it in the original tik tok

right! so cute!

Coming. right up, Claudia!

@@listed I really like this host!

That's what I want to know. I think its probably shared

I was thinking it might be the space just as you walk in on the right, behind the kitchen wall.

Yesss I did that in my apartment in Chelsea to make extra space underneath

I put a little mini couch too

Hello how are you doing?
