[@Jay6459]

Sometimes less is more. The more we own, the more it owns us. Love your place.

[@amyo]

[@skybaby444]

You are so right.

[@onetwothereefour]

[@LiikeAralleyrace]

+Joe Feser lol xD

[@lazyboyz]

+BronzeGoddess01 Love your videos and screamed when I saw your comment on this random video I found. Keep it going girl, cause you know men ain't no good. lol Stay blessed.

[@merapi2443]

My studio apartment is much bigger than that one but it's very messy

[@puppymamalisa4624]

It's so cozy! I could feel so snug there during a big snowstorm in NY! You're so happy, you make me smile too.

[@jdelgadosegovia]

I know imagine the view with the bed right next to the window .... Lovely :)

[@heykyu5892]

Who needs tv when you gotta phone with KZbin

[@floridalife2800]

Germaine Lim I lived without TV for 6 years. it is in my storage haha I have phone and laptop what else do I need?!

[@John01ization]

Germaine Lim All you need is a firetruck, and your good

[@giorgiag4415]

And Netflix

[@sophiehaze6685]

Facts

[@xoyouaremysunshinexo]

Your apartment is SO cozy. This is exactly what I want in a studio layout. Super cute!

[@ThePrivateLifeofaGirl]

I love snooping around other people's studios and apartments - thanks for the awesome video.

[@ItsEdG]

You make 250 sq ft look much bigger. Nice apartment...

[@JoeFeser]

+Rebel G. I call BS that is so 254 sq ft :)

[@alexg8366]

+Joe Feser why do you keep commenting the same thing

[@John01ization]

Eddie G because she's happy

[@JenShea]

It's the perfect size! Nothing better than having your own space.

[@JX_sh]

Why everybody making NYC apartment tours says the same thing " It's very rare to find an apartment with a dishwasher machine" but everybody actually HAVE a dishwasher machine in their videos...lol

[@ROxley]

Because all these lucky people are so proud of their dishwashers that they make a video tour and flood youtube lol.

[@JX_sh]

+R. Oxley 😂😂😂 yesss I guess.. !

[@bmona7550]

Jax SH But it is true. Some houses here doesn't even have a dishwasher and has a broken 1932 oven!

[@TommyLane]

Love what you did with the place. I wish I had your organizational skills and minimalistic living style. Nice, bubbly personality.

[@mari.johnson]

+Tommy Lane Thanks, Tommy!

[@alexkay3890]

250 square feet is literally my dorm room and there's not even a kitchen or bathroom in here. I'm extremely impressed with how spacious and cute it looks. Good job!

[@CoreyMcKinneyJr]

Im in the process of getting a 223 sq studio in north hollywood and this video really gave me some great ideas. Great personality too btw glad to see ppl working with what they got and being proud of it as u should be.

[@mari.johnson]

+ThatDudeOnUtube Awesome - I hope you make a studio apartment tour video once you're moved in! I miss LA! Thanks dude!

[@christinaonthego9007]

This studio appartment is goals

[@TruBeauty15]

This is most appropriate to live esp when you're living alone. I love ittttttt

[@mari.johnson]

+Shaya Kells :)

[@shakirah.r]

KZbin suggested this video to me. A major throw back to the first video that I've ever watched on your channel and been following ever since! Glad that I came throughout your journey! You're one of my happy pills!!

[@Beautifulchild22]

By the way, I love that you are giggly. It made me laugh and that's a great thing. Keep being you! I will definitely subscribe.

[@tessmarie8866]

Your apartment is so well done! I'm moving to Brooklyn in a month for college, and I've watched this numerous times for inspiration. Your chalk art is SO GOOD ☺️

[@mari.johnson]

Tess Marie Aw thanks so much!! You're going to love Brooklyn!

[@beniciosgirl]

Your studio is so well laid out, and you've done a terrific job decorating it! I loved, loved it!!! Oh, and how lucky are you to have a dishwasher?!

[@rarebliss]

Yay, I've subscribed! Found this video from a related apartment tour and I really enjoyed this and 3 of your other videos :) Gotta catch up lol P.S. I'm also from California but I live in WA!! Can't wait to see more videos:)

[@mari.johnson]

Hi there! Happy to hear! Aw I went to UW, so Washington will always have a place in my heart. But also yay to being from California!

[@aitanasdiary]

These kinds of videos are really interesting :) It's nice to see that smaller apartments can look so nice and also hold storage and utilities to be able to live there comfortably ^^

[@TimesOfOld]

This is such a cool space! Also, the layout of the apartment seems simple but very functional. You really got great (and great-looking) use out of it. Clean lines, but not "sterile", multifunctional and cosy - that's how it should be!

[@mariebisou7259]

One of the nicest studio apartment tours I've seen! LOVE IT

[@gerikaquintos]

TBH, this is apartment goals! I love small spaces and you were able to utilize your space so well!!

[@PrettyPolishGirl1]

great space!!! you did A LOT with such little space!! and I'm glad you réalisé that's all one person needs!!

[@mari.johnson]

Thanks so much!

[@1charmaineb]

I recently moved to a studio in the Bronx. I've been watching many apt tours, and your apt is one of my faves. Your apt is a bit smaller than mine, but you have utilized the space amazingly. I love all the floating shelves. Great job

[@mari.johnson]

Charmaine Burgess Thank you! You should do a tour of yours when it's all set up! I'd love to see it!

[@1charmaineb]

Awesome. Will do

[@SophieSmout]

You remind me of Jessica Szohr (Vanessa in Gossip Girl) ☺️

[@graceadu-boahen4910]

+Sophie Smout omg I was thinking the same thing! lol

[@miranda5283]

The hair yeah

[@emilyclark4210]

yes!! that's what I thought!!!!

[@reno_2672]

me too, I was like, wow thats Vanessa... I would imagine her living in that kinda apartment :) I think its really cool!

[@MsHope08]

Sophie Smout I thought the same thing!

[@Ishasingh19]

I love how you decorated your space. Makes it look bigger. Youre going a great job, dont be nervous cuz yo dont need to. Cheers!

[@jadeisabella2147]

Your space looks super cosy! And I love your artwork!

[@mari.johnson]

+Jade Hope Thanks Jade!

[@_innerpeacekeeper]

i really like what you've done to your space and i think your laugh is totally fine and sweet :) thank you for sharing this with us. please keep making videos. have a good day!

[@ausernameofsorts]

You have the warmest personality!

[@TaraEfobi]

I love your energy!! And your studio is super cute!

[@mari.johnson]

Tara E. Aw thanks!

[@jamuler6919]

But who really needs a dishwasher when there is only one person eating?? Maybe at most 2 or 3

[@k21bg]

id rather have a washing machine

[@jlafata21]

You seriously utilized your space to the fullest & your decorating style is so on point! 👌 if you ever start a career in interior design I would so hire you! Also amazing chalk board art, wish I was able to do lettering like that.

[@LeighAnneMarie]

You've done an amazing job with this space!!

[@ignisaegis5572]

I think that when it comes to apartments, or any home space, what matters more is not how MUCH room you have, but rather how you USE the space given. You apartment is a great example since you utilize everything pretty well and manage to create a stable place for one, or maybe even two people. (By the way, I love your place!)

[@iloveeactingg]

I like that you don't have a TV :)

[@anabettencourt6943]

So small yet so practical, cute and cozy! You did amazing with the space.

[@AlexisMaria]

I literally have a 1 bedroom in Astoria (solo living); but I am a native New Yorker so for us we like to upgrade lol...my place is an old building with great city view but annoyingly expensive. Looking to move to New Jersey for that modern style but gotta have that 1 bedroom although I am 5'4" lol kudos to you for making it work ! Xx

[@alisonchristie5338]

This space lives large. What a great kitchen. The tree and the birds sounds really transform the feel of the space. Well done.

[@MsSassyMT]

Cute space. I agree, its plenty of space for one person.

[@cookieaddictions]

This is actually really nice! I admire anyone who can fit everything in small spaces!

[@mari.johnson]

+cookieaddictions Thanks! :)

[@hafizstark]

i love your channel, you giggle when you talk which is cute

[@dariawells7438]

It's amazing how bright your little place is. I love it!

[@lexip396able]

i like it alot, if you wanted, you could put a tension rod on the wall by your bed to hang curtains between your bedroom and living room area ❤

[@mari.johnson]

that's a good idea!

[@twalsh1801]

Very cool Mari. U really made everything fit and work to your advantage. I like the green view and city view outside your window. thanks for sharing.

[@Kirschmuffin1215]

You have a very nice apartment! It looks very cozy.

[@mari.johnson]

Maggy Schreibt Thanks Maggy!

[@MackenzieFly]

You're apartment is super cute! Love what you did with your space, and all the artsy/travel related knick knacks! :D

[@JalisaHapp2000]

awesome sauce....and for those commenting on her laugh, her camerman could have been making her laugh or she's just shy, happy. point is comment positive jeeze

[@RGC198]

Hi Mari, Wow!! Nice place. You have more space there than our last accommodation in Victor Harbor last September. The view from your window is far better than we had at our previous house in Sydney, where we could only see the neighbour's brick wall.The way you have everything set out reminds me of a TV station studio, without the newsroom. Well done!! I am guessing the blackboard and chalk travels with you, as otherwise you would need to return to New York to title all your videos. Either that or you knew exactly where you would be in every detail in the future. Hmm! Now that would be awesome. LOL. Incidentally, I have a similar looking cabinet to your white cabinet 6:10 here in the Family Room. Anyway, love your apartment. It looks great. Thanks for sharing the tour. All the best, Robert.

[@paulcrowe905]

Making an apartment that small not feel tight I bet is not easy, but you have managed to pull it off.

[@mari.johnson]

+Paul Crowe Thanks!

[@theaparnaverma]

I love the birds chirping in the background ^.^

[@florisciaada6196]

It looks very cool and kind me feel sure about my future studio, thank you

[@micheleatlilacsrust5785]

Love how you made distinctive places for living, sleeping and eating/working!!! Great place!!! Very warm & cozy but not at all cluttered. :)

[@ayamethompson9435]

Girl, you can find a bigger apartment with that price. But it depends on where you want to live. It's all about location location

[@africanixon728]

+Kenny, Ayame Thompson is right. You just have to know where to look. I've applied to several one bedroom and studio apartments from $535-650 a month. (Born in Brooklyn and raised all over the 5 boroughs- yes I move a lot), true New Yorker. When I get approve for mine I'll be sure to make a video of it also and provide where I got it from.

[@Residew]

+Africa Nixon where are you finding apts that cheap. Trying to move to Brooklyn. (:

[@TheRealestIdealist]

+Africa Nixon If I known I could get a BK studio for that cheap, I would of been living there years ago!!!

[@mitchellk129]

+Ayame Thompson In NYC?

[@amyamyamy17]

Your voice says 'I love my small apartment' but your body language says 'kill me'

[@DrewJVal]

your apartment is amazing!

[@mari.johnson]

Drew Valentine Thanks Drew!! #drewwatch2k15

[@MiniFlowerDrumSong]

Very nice! Reminds me of my old studio in Brooklyn. I like how you decided to have a proper bed rather than a pull out couch like I did.

[@CapitalCat]

You're so cute & funny Love how creative your place is

[@mari.johnson]

:)

[@USACA100]

Cool place. It's small, but it doesn't look claustrophobic, but I noticed you dont have a TV?

[@SarahRachel]

Brand new studio apartment tour video on our channel! :)

[@MacAlexandra]

why so much giggling??

[@jinellesingh840]

Nerves?

[@anabhousen7159]

Yeah its hard to watch

[@Brooklynlife1000]

+MacAlexandra I tend to mix up words when recording myself, sometimes it's a nervous thing. No big deal.

[@softpearls21]

nice video

[@kimace7854]

+MacAlexandra proly stoned, i am =-) so i enjoyed watching hahaha

[@kck9862]

thanks for the vid. I'm wanting to move to NYC, so this was a good idea of space in nyc apartments. looks cozy!

[@mskreekree]

your apartment is super pretty :)

[@jaxcas2132]

i get scared a lot anticipating moving to nyc but this actually eased a lot of my anxiety- a place like this would be perfect for me and i hope i can find one similar!

[@sethchakoy1511]

$1300 a month for rent, 250 sq ft, expensive! Not worth it at all for me.

[@rowsdower12]

Sethcha Koy that's New York for you

[@Ionicblood666]

Sethcha Koy I have a studio in bronx ny for $885. plus it's bigger and I have a backyard in a nice area they like to overcharge hipsters cause they think they have money.

[@kelciecrino5885]

+ionicblood666 what area of the Bronx area are you in?? prospective mover lol I hope to be up there by the end of this year and I really would rather have a studio to myself then rely on others to split rent.

[@Ionicblood666]

If your will to travel from the bronx. Its a 45 minute ride on the train. I reside in Morris Park. Very nice.

[@gerardojasso9259]

Sethcha Koy you can get something so much bigger and nicer in the rich parts of Houston lmao. This is just paying for location.

[@mnaii6343]

why do i enjoy studio apartment tours so much? i don't know. but your place is lovely and you're super cute!

[@getstephay]

So cool it looks like it came out of pinterest

[@mari.johnson]

Steph M wow thanks. I'll take that as a really nice compliment!

[@teambrunette6954]

You did remarkably well with the space you have. Thanks so much for sharing. As studio in NYC costs a fortune even to rent. You should be really proud of your place. You did good.

[@mari.johnson]

BlondeAddiction Thanks so much! Fortunately this place is not too much more than I was paying when I lived in a 2 bedroom with a roommate, but you're right, overall NYC is not cheap!

[@flyingthenest]

Loved your apartment tour it was very cute!

[@mari.johnson]

Flying The Nest Aw thanks!

[@HeyyJoce]

I'm so glad I found another New Yorker on KZbin :) Love the studio apartment! and I love brooklyn. :)

[@BVargas9]

Fridge game strong

[@rawlawgirl]

Her laughter sounded like happiness to me. For those of you who hated it, perhaps you are more used to someone crying or yelling. BTW, that is plenty room for one person if they are not stuck on material things.

[@vanityrae83]

Rent is how much?

[@dyanalayng5507]

Love the big counter / table. So useful in the tiny space. Great use of space. I like the little niche the bed fit into. Is that a separate chalkboard on the wall? Awesome size. Edit. On 2nd view I think it's painted on the wall. I kept trying to pan the camera back 😂 to see the DIY branch necklace hanger, and the wire ? with photos over the couch. Like the IKEA shelf used to hold cutting boards on the counter.

[@Yaniza]

Love it!! :)

[@mari.johnson]

Yaniza Doré Thanks!

[@ArienneJay]

Awesome studio! I love how homey it looks with the plants and kitchen, and the black chalkboard is such a nice touch!

[@mari.johnson]

+Arienne Jay thanks Arienne!

[@tirapups]

Where did you get that narrow bedside table? I've been looking for something like that forever!

[@mari.johnson]

I got it from urban outfitters about a year ago, not sure if they still sell it. Though, I'll be moving in a month, so maybe I can sell it to you? Is that weird?

[@tirapups]

+Mari Johnson Is it weird that I already like this idea?

[@mari.johnson]

tirapups haha hmm ok, well maybe it can really happen!

[@tirapups]

I checked the UO website and didn't see it. The trickiest part, if you can/will part with it, would be shipping. Luckily I'm in NJ so I'm sure something could be worked out.

[@mari.johnson]

+tirapups I'm sure we could figure something out! Message me if you're still interested!

[@MarkAmanda]

Great job with the apartment! We live in a studio in BK as well, people outside of NYC just don't understand! If we can find the motivation to clean up we'll do a tour. Thanks for the inspiration!

[@mari.johnson]

+Mark & Amanda haha so true. Yes, do a tour video!

[@SkittlesandBlood]

ehhh all the laughter was so annoying but apart from that your place looks so nice wow, how much is/was the rent?

[@SkittlesandBlood]

+Kenny joking about what?

[@SkittlesandBlood]

+Kenny Oh.. I'm sorry 😕 I usually check the description but I guess I didn't this time. I'll be more observant next time. Thank you for pointing it out

[@AlexandriaRuby]

Yes, super annoying ... but she does have a cute little cozy studio.

[@mairedaly4926]

Finally, an apartment tour where a person shows the whole apartment and not an 'arm' giving the tour of a close up of furniture & accessories...

[@whatithoughtyouwere]

i'm so sorry but the size of this studio is depressing. I'd feel so claustrophobic omg

[@MrLexanderluther1986]

+Thara Lawson That's what is lovely about NY, you go outside..anytime. Find something to do. There's always something going on.

[@whatithoughtyouwere]

but your indoor space is just as important, i live in london and i'm an outdoorsy person but come on, 250ft -_-

[@clairelegoff5727]

+Thara Lawson Yes but sometimes you just don't have the money. I live in Paris for my studies and my studio is smaller than this one. So it's nice to finally see a flat tour like this

[@safran4803]

This looks really nice! You have done a great job with your studio. I personally don't trust floating shelves, but they are soo handy and the ones above your bed are very pretty, too (: For some reason I'm in love with your kitchen cupboards... (= Thank you so much for sharing, Mari!

[@mari.johnson]

+Safran Thanks and you're welcome!

[@maybeilikedirt]

you remind me so much of vanessa abrahams from gossip girl hahha

[@clan_fraser19]

eleonore // YES

[@tonimleya401]

WOW! Your whole apartment is the size of my bedroom in my apartment! I don't mean to be rude by saying that, but I think it's amazing how you live in such a small space.

[@LaBam85]

holy crap $1300?? anyway, youre super cute and so is your space

[@WerdnaNiraehs]

LaSashy It's probably in a really good spot.

[@Ionicblood666]

roundandround14 judging by the view it's either park slope or bushwick. anywhere in between is the hood. lol

[@ivanmartinez714]

roundandround14 no its cuz its NY every state is different in TX minimum wage is $7.25 but in NY its like $15

[@alishasolomon2506]

@iconicblood666 you are one of those silly idiots who refer to any place not occupied by majority of whites "The hood"; you are *not* a New Yorker, and *Definitely haven't lived / leased or owned property in brooklyn. Clown. According to you even Williamsburg, dumbo and brown stones are "The hood". Clearly you are a wannabe NYER/ Brooklynite; stick to what you know broke chump.

[@ivanmartinez714]

ionicblood666 wow we got a bad ass over here

[@SavvyMarion]

You did a great job at decorating oh my goodness its so cute !!

[@aimeeso3860]

she keeps laughing after every sentence, she mental?

[@anthonyt425]

She's just nervous is all.

[@perlag1998]

Aimee So and happy! Nothing wrong w/ that :)

[@freddiemeyer4563]

us brits call it bubbly personalilty shes fizzy like a bottle of pop bless.her😎

[@joanketelby752]

A valley girl.

[@MrsWhalecrackers]

Love how you utilized the space & made it your own!

[@mari.johnson]

Antonella Schiano Thanks Antonella!

[@BabyBearRudy]

I liked the space, great camera work, but I just couldn't stand her constant random giggling. Stop giggling :(

[@mari.johnson]

+Rodolfo Suarez Thanks for the compliments, though I don't plan on stopping giggling. Laughter makes me happy. Life's too short to take things so seriously.

[@ninah1868]

She seems so vain.

[@TS.W]

I love the opened windows with the birds chirping.

[@jeannettea.5102]

Hi Mari:) I love your apt. and how you maximize your space while still keeping a sense of yourself in your decorating and organizing. Thanks!

[@mari.johnson]

So nice to hear! Xo

[@nedelcucristian7088]

Not only that you did an a grate job organizing ur studio, I think that you are amazing and I had a grate time watching you smile. Thank you. You made my day. :)

[@sotaemin3536]

This studio is so pretty ! I love the decoration !

[@stemikger]

I love it and you are so pretty with an adorable personality!! I love your little laugh after you talk!!

[@acestarone]

i decided to check this out because i am looking for a studio now instead of a one bedroom. i wanted to see how you organize and decorate. thanks for posting. I live in Brooklyn as well but I am considering Queens too.

[@Msfinable]

That's a very small apartment but actually looks nice and functioning! Well done! Love the art and decor xx

[@isabelbush]

This is legit the cutest place ever!

[@mari.johnson]

Isabel Adora Aw thanks!

[@sigiliaskallyxo]

this is actually the nicest ny apartment tour i've seen. :)

[@brandincompany]

I love you studio!! You did a great job of decorating and making it functional.

[@Oscarnodwannabe]

Wow, this makes me feel so much better about moving to NY in June! I expect my salary in tech to make it very affordable for me. Love your small space! I can not wait to create mine!
