My grandfather had an apartment like that in New York too. He rented it in 1930 and stayed there for 50 years at least. It was rent controlled so in 1980 he was only paying $75 a month. He traveled the world on all of his vacations with all the money he saved by having a modest place.

My grandma always said; “a bed and box of your own, is better than a castle of somebody else’s.” This is a nice little living space.

I lost my apartment in 2013 & ended up living with a friend for 5 years. I found I don’t like living with anyone. I have my own space now. I’m in a studio. I been in it for 5 years. I don’t like having one main living space. It’s ok. Pretty nice studio with free 24 hr laundry. Utilities & basic cable & free Wi-Fi on main floor

[@WhitneyDahlin]

I know! I just wonder why New York City apartments don't have more built-in storage like Korea does! If you look at some Korean apartment tours they are just as small but you can store so much more! Everything is storage! Like I'm pretty sure America is one of the only countries that has like storage units and so everything just comes with built-in storage and built-in shelving and hidden shelving and hidden storage and I'm obsessed! Just why doesn't New York City do this?!

[@hulamei3117]

A place that is SAFE!

[@andrewhelms6249]

I'm from Texas... so the idea of spending 1100 a month on a apartment this tiny is absolutely mind boggling.... HOWEVER, what you've done with such a tiny amount of space is incredible. It has the essentials and you have a safe space to sleep. It's your home, and you should be proud. It looks fantastic!

[@pmdavis3681]

My sentiments exactly! I'm from South Carolina, and I couldn't agree more! 😄

[@guymorris6596]

Like Andrew, I'm from Texas too. I'd never even spend $1100 for an apartment that small, like a storage space. I live on the Gulf Coast close to Houston and live in a one bedroom apartment of about 650 square feet. I'm paying around $775 a month and even that's overpriced. I like how you have things arranged in your apartment because they seem to flow well. You have things stored that you don't use much which is a good idea. That $1100 sounds about right for prices I've seen listed on hostels and hotels in NYC. We do the best with what we have whether it's our apartments, vehicles or anything else. I like that tree I can see through that window. It looks like a good neighborhood where you live. Don't worry about the critics.

[@wwaxwork]

Well the advantage is he has the whole of NYC just outside his door, he can just go and well do things he doesn't have to drive for hours to go to a cool restaurant, or to see an exhibit or to get to work everyday. Life is a trade off of compromising on some things for the things that are important to you and that looks different for everybody.

[@HOLLASOUNDS]

It's the same as the Hostel I once lived in, basically a small room and showers and toilet shared by 5 other tenants. In the UK you would only real see living places like this as tempery living, Hostel or supportive housing.

Many ship crew cabins are every bit as small, and they are usually shared.

How cute and cozy and an AWESOME use of space!! I live in California so I'm not surprised the rent is $1100.

I watch enough People's Court to know that rarely works out. LOL

[@Teresa-qq2qp]

I lived like you do in a tiny room-apartment in Europe when I was in my early twenties (mid 1970"s.) Life did change in the 1980's when I came to the USA. I live in a regular house now, with plenty of space and rooms, and a big beautiful garden. But seeing your apartment made me go back to those years of my youth full of hope and, well, I have difficulty explaining now how I felt then, but it was full of hope for the future. You made me look back at those forgotten years of my life.

I'm not so sure that it's sneering (he did a great job with what hd had) so much as questioning the allure of NYC. I lived in Manhattan for 3 years, so I get it. But I made enough to live comforatably. There are certain careers and lifestyles that can only be had in New York. But I feel like so man people feel the need to check the box off as a right of passage when they would be just as happy starting their lives off in a more livable but still fun and culturally rich city.

I lived in a 6x10’ SRO in the East Village for 9 years. By the time I left I had so many shelves up, including a sleeping loft i was able to get a lot of functionality out of it. Once my Mom slept on the couch under the loft for a week when she came to visit. I too always had a little spot I kept empty. It helped me to keep my mind from feeling too cluttered while I was there. Good memories.

[@prissilou]

Watching your video is a testimony to the relativity of life. Someone who lives in a 2 or 4 or 10 million dollar mansion might feel they had been thrown into a jail cell, while someone in Africa living in a mud hut with no electricity or running water might feel they had a mansion. As I have gotten older, I have learned to be thankful for what I have, and let go of aspirations of greatness. Losing my mother and father have brought it home to roost that no one takes anything with them when they go. Appreciate what you have, life goes by very quickly...

[@earnold1896]

@prissilou. I agree. It's a matter of degree. We have a grotty house which is like a box but I am so greatful we have a roof to shelter and a couple of small bedrooms to rest our head and 4-5 other spaces (small rooms). The only thing I think is really bad on this video is that people have to share a bathroom and that the sink is so tiny and not like a normal kitchen sink and looks more like a handbasin in a toilet. This guy is well organised though and he has made it look good and I really like that he is content. One of my sons rents a one bedroom place and he has it looking so good. He has great flair for keeping things tidy, clean, and rather amazing with a few bits of furniture and his few possessions. He regularly purges things. Some young guys are way better housekeepers than I could ever be. My son has a kitchen, sitting room with small deck, good sized bedroom, and bathroom/shower/toilet room in one. I think unless you were a young fit person like this nice young guy, one could get some claustrophobia there if they couldn't go out much.

It amazes me that New York Ciiy occupancy laws still allow communal toilets. As a life long New Yorker ,I was always told communal toilets were features of " old law "tenement buildings that were outlawed in the early 20th century. Something you only saw in the NYC Tenement Museum. In the 70's in NYC, this would have been an "SRO"- single room occupancy and not considered to be an apartment. It's a shame what landlords and rental companies do to take advantage of younger folks in trendy neighborhoods with inflated rents and no bathrooms.

[@chrissybeebee4354]

Good on you! You have everything you need and it’s home. I lived in a studio apartment in SF which admittedly had a bit more space, but it was still small. The best time I had in my 50 years on this planet was in that studio apartment. I would go back in a heartbeat. Again, kudos to you on making your small space home. ❤

[@knowbettertv]

What a great use of space! It’s comfortable, welcoming, and well thought out. Thanks for sharing your home with us. 😊

[@deborahcarr2177]

Home is where the heart is! Whether it is 95 or 4000 sq.ft. I think you have done a great job and should be proud of your apartment.

[@karynsuepohlmeier2109]

Home is where the heart is honey!! It's your home and there's nothing wrong with that!! ♥️

[@tommyg.9069]

Keep going, kid. You're a fighter. Nothing can get you down. You are an inspiration for us all.

[@leonmaliniak]

His cheerful optimism in the face of this really small living space is inspiring

[@purpledream1045]

Small but very cozy apartment, it is well organized looks super neat, great job!

[@wintergirl3298]

It’s your home and a home is what you make it. You’ve done a great job of your small space. It’s very organized. Least we all forget, less is more. So I say, I love your space

[@rkymtnchi503]

It was quite refreshing to see this video. I love seeing someone who values, enjoys and appreciates what they have. You seem to be a good-hearted kid with your head on straight. I subscribed to support you and follow your adventures....best of luck in life, my friend. ...and I happen to like your little apartment, never let haters get to you.

Thank you for sharing your home with us and showing us around You really have turned the room into a very comfy space and it's very tidy 🙏🌟🙏

I love your little home.The size of the house doesn’t matter.What matters is how much love is in it.Enjoy your life and always be the sweet man that you are now

[@karanleewienker6505]

You have so much to be proud for… most of all your “beingness” and gratitude. Your home seems so cozy to me. We’ll done!

[@tthomas184]

I really admire people who do alot with a little. Much more then people who just own stuff and waste things. Lately I've been trying to downsize and get rid of things. You are my new inspiration.

[@cj222100]

Made such great use of what space he has, & I find his personality & demeanor to be so endearing & likable.

[@sazennonumber]

That place has a good vibe and I think it's because you have a good vibe. It's amazing how cleverly you organized everything and how lovely it all looks. Oh, and cleaning must take you 10 minutes! A definite bonus. 🙂🧡

You have something that a lot of people lack - and that is 'Wisdom'. You are humble, gracious, open, honest and grateful for what you have, and it is those traits that will take you far. Fantastic content Abonaax - well done and best wishes for the future. Psyche aka Psyche Thompson UK 🌹

@@cynthiacavallaro7152 Hello Cynthia, thank you so much for your humbling words which meant the world to me. Somehow we as people seem to be missing praising the real (heros) the people who try, who create and project good examples and use nothing but positivity in their messages. I'm so sick and tired of all the arguments these days by people on ALL sides as they are ALL equally as bad as each other. It's all about who shouts the loudest or who is better than the other but have you realised it's all about their power and not about the power for the ordinary people of which the powerful are too -ordinary that is? Their ways as said are just as bad as the people they stamp their feet and shout about and most have gotten there for their love of money, power and ill gains. This gentleman in his simple and humble little video has shown more strength , positivity and gratitude than all these channels getting thousands of followers which perpetuate aggression. So to me I am standing up for simplicity. Could you imagine people hearing this his kind of humble content because to me there are no sides to it, just straightforward good content, relayed peacefully, which actually has a powerful tone which the host Abonaax was not even aware of but actually shows exactly what kind of human being he is - a good person. No greed, no malice, no blaming or shaming, just humbleness and GRATEFUL and living within his means. To me I always relay this 'I MIGHT NOT HAVE EVERYTHING I WANT BUT I HAVE EVERYTHING I NEED' and that is where humility starts. People have lost that, but this gentleman showed humility. Priceless and a precious trait. To me that is the middle ground. Thank you SO MUCH for seeing it too. If we cloned people like you, Liz and Abonaax we would be on our way to living a better existence. Many blessings to you and your family. Psyche 🌹

[@autumn007]

What a way to use the space in the tiny apartment! It looks very cozy and comfortable!!

[@AbandonedMines11]

Superb video, man! Love the apartment! So what if it’s on the small side? You’ve made it into something that works for you and that’s to be applauded. My first apartment here in Southern California 25 years ago was only 300 square feet. Had a Murphy bed for which I had to move the recliner out of the way every night in order for the bed to come out of the wall. My kitchen was an aisle - literally! Had a dorm-sized refrigerator that had no freezer in it except for an ice cube tray compartment which would hold, at most, two frozen dinners. That fridge was smaller than the one you have! It is what it is. You make do with what you have. Someday you’ll have a bigger place with more stuff in it. Great video overall, and I loved the tour! 👍

[@marilyn6556]

You’ve made yourself a comfortable, cozy home! I love it! The best thing is that you don’t have to put up with roommates!

[@Byrdeus]

Exactly.

[@brm80]

I live in a studio apartment in Ireland and I love how cosy it is and easy to maintain. I think you did alot with the amount of space you have and it looks really nice

[@ShowMeMo]

Your apartment is PERFECT! I used to live in a studio and loved it. If I weren't married and having my elderly mother living with me, I would totally live in either another studio apartment or build a tiny home. The more stuff you have, the more that stuff has you! Having less is so freeing! I love your apartment!

[@NoirpoolSea]

"The more stuff you have, the more that stuff has you!" Best way of putting that I've ever heard.

[@westerling8436]

Something lower classes say

[@asafaust8869]

A small place like this would strongly encourage me to get rid of "extra" things. Like those size 6 jeans that i will probably never wear. 😊

[@RosemaryWilliams49fruits]

The expense of that tiny space boggles my mind, but you should definitely be proud of it, it's very clean, organized, and aesthetic and seems like a nice place to live. I literally scoffed out loud when you called your bookshelf messy, because it's so nice and neat and organized looking haha. You've honestly made the space look almost luxury with the minimal aesthetic and tasteful accents.

[@katie0303]

You are living your life your way. Bravo. Thanks for the tour.

[@kathy6222]

You have a such a nice personality. I enjoyed your tour; thank you for sharing your home with us. Your neighbors are very lucky to have you living in the building. Stay safe and happy. God bless you.

I'm a nyer..and anyone from NY would know ur doing a great job ..really making a way for yourself..and the apartment is fantastic!!! Make no apologies for the life u have .. because ur doing wonderful...😁...

[@Tracylyn42]

Until recently I lived in a one room for 5 yrs and made it work just like you. Everything in it was a street find and it was so cozy and comfy. Now I live in a 2 bd 2 bath but hang out in my bedroom all the time except when I’m working lol. You get used to the cozy feel of a small space. It’s not for everyone but some of us love it. Great job

[@miriamruiz155]

I love this!!! So small and cozy and in NYC!!!

[@hank1519]

Fascinating tour! Thank you so much!

[@lawli56]

It's what we call a bedsitter over here in the UK, which is pretty much what I started out with many years ago. Basically a bed sitting room with shared toilet and shower. You seem to have made good use of the space.❤

[@douglasm3653]

Thank you for sharing your home with us! You have done a marvelous job of making your apartment a true “home!” The size of the space one lives in does not make it a home. The love you put into the space makes it a home. You are a very delightful person with great looks and personality. I hope you have or will have a special person in your life. Best of luck in all you do!

[@Noway673]

Nice and maybe cute, but the price ain't $1,100 for closet.
