my wingspan it's like almost six and a
half feet right there
so about a month ago i posted this video
on my tick tock it was a tour of a 300
square foot studio apartment and it went
viral so i'm back about to give you a
full tour of this space the tenants just
moved out it's empty let's go check it
out
welcome to the apartment starting off to
my right this is technically the bedroom
as you can see the tenant has fully
moved out and this place is going to go
very quickly just because of the
location and that price point so because
this is a studio we have
dividing the bedroom from the rest of
the space this little curtain here when
you are living small in the city you
have to do things like this so this is
most likely a curtain from amazon
a brass pole hung from the ceiling and
that is your divider from the bedroom
space as you remember the tick tock the
tv was mounted at the wall there's a
dresser here
and we have window which is awesome it's
street facing the previous tenant
actually built these also some cool
detail above you that stained glass nice
little touch for the east village you
actually have your gas meter in the
apartment right by your intercom system
to keep the door shut just for some
privacy and right across from the
bedroom this is where they had it staged
as the living room there's a little love
seat here with seating for two the thing
i love the most about this apartment is
the exposed brick painted white giving
it a very kind of fresh feeling in here
then above us we have the ceiling fan
which is a nice touch and we have that
studio track lighting running the entire
length of the apartment from your living
room we then have a bit more space here
which divides into the kitchen this wall
juts out here which is a nice division
of the space and the kitchen in this
apartment is pretty nice all things
considered brand new bosch refrigerator
freezer you have brand new stainless
steel microwave four burner cooktop the
kitchen is all redone deep set sink and
even right here
dishwasher believe it or not if you're
watching this from somewhere let's say
kansas city
oklahoma you might think why is that a
big deal but most apartments especially
in older buildings don't have
dishwashers and this one does right
across from the kitchen here this is
technically your dining room eating area
they have this little table here for
three also in the kitchen we have tons
of cabinet space which is a plus so you
can actually go to the grocery store buy
food and cook everything right in the
apartment right by your quote dining
room you have your heating this is an
old apartment it's boil heated so this
pipe right here heats up with hot water
and essentially is heating this entire
space you have another one down below
here your ac unit this window here
not much of view at all you have a nice
view of an alleyway and then the cool
part about this place is behind me you
have your built-in closet space here
let me pop this open you actually have
brand new industrial lighting in this
closet and for the size of the space
this is a fairly large closet you might
be again thinking this watching this
from wherever you are in the world like
what is wrong with people in new york
but this is a big closet for this high
space the cool thing about this
apartment it is technically a loft if
you see above me here this whole back of
the apartment was lofted off i'm
actually gonna climb up here for a sec
if you did live here you'd probably get
a ladder or a rope or something but i'm
gonna have to spiderman my way up here
so as you can see
actually just pass the camera off vlog
here we go this is technically your
storage sleeping loft as you can see
there's a mattress back here currently
but you could use this if you need it to
as
a second bedroom or a storage space i
mean it could be pretty cozy if you put
a tv up here here is the view from down
below
of the entire space oh there we go
and
okay from the main section to the very
back of the apartment you have the
bathroom and this is a cool touch you
have the pocket door so you can close
this off because you can't technically
fit a door with hinges here this is a
great use of safe space this whole
bathroom is newly renovated the shower
brand new all the tiling here this at
one point was a window which has been
bricked over i think that's kind of
unique makes a nice little shelf here
here in the other view of the bathroom
there's one more window again facing an
alleyway which is a bit of a drawback
but not a deal breaker then you have
your modern vanity and in the very back
here
the executive office the water closet
and this place is just about 300 square
feet and it's on the market for two
thousand and three hundred dollars per
month
a lot of comments on the tick tock were
saying who in the right mind would live
here you move into a place like this
because new york city is the only place
where you can make your dreams happen
you have to have such a strong reason to
be in new york because it's not an easy
place right now it's like 12 degrees out
it's the middle of january it's not a
fun place to be but this is a very
practical and in my opinion very well
done space for that person who just
moved to new york city and they're
looking to make it happen
i am now back in my apartment and it's
one of those days actually let me look
it is 12 degrees right now probably not
gonna leave home for the rest of the day
just sit here lounge around read a good
book and it just so happens that i am in
some of the most comfortable clothing
for lounging i'd like to thank jim plus
coffee the sponsor of this vlog it's an
irish athleisure and lifestyle brand
with a focus on building community with
their mission to make life richer gym
plus coffee is my go-to weekend where
whether i'm lounging around the
apartment getting in a workout on the
rowing machine or filming apartments
around the city for me it's really the
comfort of the clothing and the design
not to mention they have 100 fully
compostable packaging today i'm wearing
the sierra fleece pullover in slate blue
the buajaga 2.0 in black with the surge
t in black and of course the dark blue
beanie to top it off and gym plus coffee
is hooking you up if you use code
coniver you get 20 off your first order
with gym plus coffee for me hands down
favorite piece of clothing is the sierra
fleece pullover in that beautiful slate
blue again gym plus coffee thank you for
sponsoring this portion of the vlog now
i want to talk to you about tiny
apartments don't mind the mess just some
packaging and a rug that theo actually
had an accident on but i want to show
you this
this is the entryway to my house and in
here
in this room
this is my extremely messy laundry room
and this laundry room is very close to
the size of the first apartment that i
lived in when i moved to new york city i
promise you there's a point to all this
let's head up the stairs for a moment
at the top of the stairs here
this this is my loft
and this loft up here
this space is just about double
the size of my first apartment when i
moved here to new york city in 2013.
isn't that right theo grant the ceiling
is a bit low i would have loved to have
a space this big when i first moved to
the city this is a lot of space and
although quite messy this is the biggest
home i've lived in in my entire life i'm
talking from the time i was born
till now this is this is the biggest
space
very messy you know trash everywhere but
it's it's mine it's my space so the
point of all that is that you could have
fit six of my original studio apartments
that i lived in with mice and
cockroaches into this one soho studio
and it's ironic because
not to say that i'm unhappy now but some
of the best times in my life were those
early days when i first moved to the
city and i was just scraping by living
in a micro studio apartment if you
remember last year i filmed a video
showing you the smallest apartment in
the city it was 62 square feet it was a
prison cell some people called it a
college dorm and in that video i
mentioned that the person who rents this
place out will have to have such a
strong reason why the stakes for that
person must be so high for them to live
in new york let's face it new york city
is not an easy city to make it in it's a
revolving door people are constantly
moving out and people are constantly
moving here it's a city for people who
want to work and people who have big
dreams and it just so happens the person
who rented that smallest apartment is a
guy named axel weber you may have seen
him on tik tok he is an actor and he has
documented his whole process auditioning
for juilliard the struggles of moving to
new york city and living in that
apartment and that's a perfect example
he's in new york city because it's the
one place in the entire world where he
can make his dream come true of being an
actor the best acting schools in america
are in the city and he knows this is
that one place where he can make that
happen a lot of times i film these
videos and let me zoom out my dog
my dog is actually right by my side a
lot of the time but anyway all of you
watching from texas or from florida yes
in texas with 2 300 per month you can
rent a four bedroom house with a
swimming pool but in texas you can't go
to juilliard and train with some of the
best acting coaches in the world new
york city is that place like jimin
coffee promotes that you can build that
community and that right there is why
people rent these tiny micro studio
apartments because they know they have
to be in new york city if that one place
in the world where they can make their
dreams come true with that i hope you
enjoyed this video comment down below if
you want to see more tours of micro
studio apartments or those mega
penthouses personally i prefer filming
the small apartments i think it's more
interesting than showing a 20 million
dollar penthouse i hope you are well
watching this and with that i will see
you in the next video
