my nyc apartment tour | 350 sq ft | what under $3100 gets you in the west village

[@pretti_dope]

$3100 and you have to leave your apt to wash clothes is wild.

[@TheLoveweaver]

And deal with those old-azz kitchen cabinets from the 90's! It's crazy work. I live in the Bronx, so it's an hour away from where she's lives. She's definitely living there for the local & less travel time.

[@arila656]

This was my first thought too!

[@JustMe-fo4ev]

I can live pretty minimal but this vid feels like completely forcing things just to say you live in a certain neighborhood. At the same time, it's like having the poorest house on the block. No thanks. I see the caption says she moved so hopefully a nice upgrade.

[@LykaLivao-l5w]

Your NYC apartment tour was so fun to watch! It’s amazing how you’ve maximized the space in just 350 sq ft. The West Village location is perfect, and your design choices are so stylish!

[@mzmel1]

350 sq while living with partner is wild. Y’all really gotta like each other lol

[@dotsonms]

That rent blows my mind! I watch a lot of apartment vlogs, I guess I just don't understand why it's desirable to live in a place that expensive.

[@michelewilliams2920]

I live in a 320 square foot apartment in Manhattan. Pay $1178 renewer lease rent went up $25. Won the housing lottery.

[@ErikaDwyer]

My dream is to win that lottery

[@michelewilliams2920]

[@karenclark8374]

When I lived in 450 square foot apartment. I had so many things piled on top of each other. It must be freeing to only own a handful of clothes and no objects or trickets from your past. No need for a storage unit. How amazing to be able to fit 2 people’s worth of clothing into such a small space. You and your partner are such amazing minimalists to be able to have such a sparingly amount of things. You save money on buying clothes and useless items.

[@kimberlyhouser955]

I understand the rent price, after all it’s NYC! What I don’t understand is the landlord not putting nice cabinets in the kitchen. That landlord should appreciate a renter who pays the rent on time!

[@tigertbalm]

I lived in a rent stabilized apartment for years. The landlords did the absolutely bare minimum in my building. It actually helped them to have tenants move out because they could raise the rent a bit when the apartment changed hands. I had no cabinets in my kitchen and ancient appliances.They hadn't painted or cleaned when I moved in. But I was happy that I could afford a apartment in NYC.

[@Luckoftheirish1]

No kidding. Those cabinets are dated. Homes built in the mid 1980’s had those as standard cabinets.

[@lowwhite4698]

My thoughts exactly.

[@cchico41]

you can definitely put a small portable washer where your storage is in the bathroom. maybe cut down your current storage unit and so it sits around the portable washer

[@kathiegore5548]

Love your video! I always wanted to live in NYC❤ Can’t wait to see your new place!

[@rthrizzle]

Lots of cool, timeless pieces in your place ! Thank you for sharing. Love that it’s not too cluttered and is minimalist since it’s small. Where is your couch from ?? It’s a beaut.

[@LindsayDoepel]

I don't see how anyone can pay that much money for a shoebox like that. That's ridiculous. They shouldn't have apartments like these.

[@ErikaDwyer]

I loved my shoebox 😌

[@Shawna805]

They are paying for the location 😀

​@ErikaDwyer I love it too has so much character❤

[@traceyg2364]

Why, because you personally don't like it?

[@DebbiePotter-xh7kv]

I agree. But people don’t care I guess, they just want to live there aboy e all else,

[@_Tracy_B]

This is a great apartment. Ive seen studios with 400sf that look tighter. Great light, closets, room separation. Its great

[@JudgeyJudgeyable]

I actually really like the layout of your apartment. You guys made the best of it

[@OlaC.]

Very cozy, tidy and minimalistic, love it😊

[@ErikaDwyer]

Thank you 🥰

[@maddyjean4784]

I think you are not stabilized any longer if your apt is 3200. Check on it. To the non NYers commenting on living situations in NY : you cannot compare this lifestyle with anywhere else. This is NY. Space is at a premium. But she wanted the location. When I got my first apt. It was in a tenement like walk up with freshly painted bumpy plaster walls and shiny plank floors. You go to the laundromat. I was in heaven.

[@MeghDonovan]

This honestly looks larger than 350 sq ft. Yes, it's pricey, but I'd be shocked to find somewhere cheaper in the West Village. Love how efficient (and chic) you've made the space!

[@ErikaDwyer]

Thank you so much! I honestly feel like we had a really good deal for the area, while I understand it’s still a lot of money, it’s well below the avg!

[@oknyc11]

Wow perfect couch and use of that living room space!

[@harmanlesli]

The bathroom is probably original layout of the bathroom, so its big. Rest of the rooms were changed over time. Landlords can rent more smaller apartments than larger apartments in same building. Volume means profit. Building remains same size, the apartments shrink within to increase rental units. You did well with layout. Considering the price of the neighborhood, rent stabilized apartments really are a good keep for you.

[@ThatsTravelUSA]

This is sooo crazy ! We are coming to NYC soon and surprised how much hotels are!!

[@aep1974]

Personally, I’d swap the bedroom and living room. But I’m older than this woman and treasure being at home and reading books, watching tv, etc. I don’t need much room to sleep.

[@bonniepwtf]

You did a great job on managing the space you have. 👏

[@budgetwithrenay2419]

You’ve done an excellent job utilizing such a small space! I love the bedroom and bathroom,( even though I agree that they wasted much needed space.) Your gallery wall is amazing!

[@denverdubois5835]

That's a nice little apartment, and what a killer bathroom! It's bigger than the one in my house! With apt. hunting, I always had that conflict going on: larger place in less desirable area? or smaller place in charming area? I love the way you kept the decor clean and minimal. With small spaces one must exercise restraint, but it's so hard! Question: did you ever think about switching the table and chairs with the extra counter space? I ask because 2 things: it's nicer to sit a bit further from the A/C on a hot summer night, and also--there's that convenient outlet for appliances. Good luck with the move! I'll be interested to see your new pad!

[@harperleigh3732]

That price is insane!!!!!!

[@TuboTuba-ow5ei]

Have you thought about buying a loft bed? Like a sturdy, comfy one. I would also hang some mirrors on the wall in front of the couch. Otherwise it’s lovely.

That bathroom is large for NYC. I tend to agree with you though that they could have taken a teeny bit of that room for your living room. Your space actually feels really open for the size.

If you can make it here, you can make it anywhere. I pay $4600 for 650 square feet and I live alone. Totally worth it. She lives in NYC. She is the envy of all her friends which is worth gold for women*

[@spratmajor2576]

@LyranSoul silly person. Most of us who rent in Manhattan own homes in other parts of the country. I have a mortgage in Green Cove Florida on Windsor lane (new construction). We watch tourist on hop on hop off buses wishing they could live the dream. Manhattan is the most expensive city price per square foot in America for a reason. One of the most visited as well. You must be in a flyover state. Good luck with that

[@spratmajor2576]

@LyranSoul sure you do. Everyone online is rich, travels the world and only dates supermodels. Keep telling yourself that as you look upon us with envy.
