Well for me, this is the best option. The layout and functionality of the rooms are very much defined. It is easy to navigate from one area to another because it is well partitioned. No elevator - yeah, kinda agree that someday you will curse it due to lack of elevator but if you look on the other side, it will force you to exercise everyday. Small laundry - I don't have a helpful tip on how to approach this issue unless you wash the clothes by batch
@@rhysegozun Thank you for your kind comment. As for my insight on the apartment in Ep 20. I would say I find it convenient in terms of moving in and costs since it is already fully furnished, but it doesn't give me a relaxing vibe. Maybe because I am not fond of the placing of the kitchen in the middle of the room. I get this feeling that it is misplaced. The flow of energy from the front door to the window is kinda blocked. Maybe it just needs some rearrangement of the furniture to properly define the respective areas. With these changes, I will rank it as my 2nd or 3rd choice. Happy to hear your thoughts on this.
Usui! I came here just to say this. THIS IS THE PLACE! It's not too high up. No ridiculous loft! Room for your bed. There's 2-burners. You can get an air fryer. You get stools for the counter, which will give you more space in the living area. You have an actual bathroom! Those windows! It's the most like a studio you've seen.
Not many people are mentioning it but to me the best thing about this one is the kitchen. Having the sink face outwards towards the windows rather than squished into a corner makes such a massive difference!
Modern, new, spacious, light and airy, definitely the best we’ve seen so far…. You could have a sofa bed instead of a traditional bed so you have a day setup and an evening one too.
If you can find me a studio apartment for the same amount of space, newness, and number of nearby amenities for 700€ pls be a good member of society and spill your secrets so we can get something affordable. Otherwise quit being a c&n+ and go about your day :]
I think you found it! If you can afford it, take it. The layout is perfect for this size. You're in the middle of the City and at your age you don't need an elevator.
To fix this apartment, I would remove the bathtub and use that space for the toilet. That way we open up space for the washing machine. The way it is now, how would you even get a washing machine into that corner without risking breaking the toilet? And Usui, you cannot even use your washing machine since it is a front loader. You cannot even open the washer door because the toilet is in the way ^_^;;;
Usui, I'm not exaggerating when I say that your channel is THE BEST Japanese micro apartment channel. Take it from someone who has been obsessed with this niche for 5 years. I look forward to your videos more than a new JJK manga chapter.
Мне очень понравилось! Это уже не микро, а мини. Из всех лучшая, поэтому, видимо, и дорогая. Окна в пол, никаких чердаков с лестницами, шкафы, кухня. И стиральная машина будет не в комнате, думаю, можно найти небольшую с верхней загрузкой. 4 этаж без лифта - кардиотренировка каждый раз. Супер.
Окна в пол в такой квартире - это извращение. Кровать поставил, и тебя с двух сторон разглядывают. И не только тебя, но и пыль под кроватью. А эти дурацкие ванны в полтора метра длиной максимум. Сделать вместо такой ванны нормальный поддон с душем и куча места освободилась бы. А то стиралка или с верхней загрузкой нужна, или открываться будет под раковиной, в сторону унитаза места на открывание нет.
This is the *BEST* micro apartment I've seen so far on your channel! I'm only a few minutes in and I already want to pack up my stuff and move right into that appartment! What really enhances the overall feeling is the fact that there are two big windows that allow light to come in from two different directions!! ✨ More big plus points of this appartment are: + Washing maschine has a dedicated space in another room so the sound doesn't annoy you + The view is actually really beautiful and goes pretty far for tokyo standarts + The Kitchen is hidden behind a corner so the entire room feels a lot bigger and seperated! + The room is perfectly cut to place all necessary furniture items (bed, desk, maybe a highboard...) + The counterspace at the kitchen can be used as a dining table as well since theres enough space for legs and two chairs even! (+ It's not optimal but two minimalistic people could maybe even manage to live here together since a small double bed could fit in with a long desk area as well!!) Please continue creating those amazing videos Usui!
I love this one. It is very modern. You actually have an area to sit and eat. If you can trade in your washer and dry for a smaller model. You have toilet paper storage. Nice size bathroom. If you don't want to put up curtains there is always vertical blinds. The track lights compliment the room. You can put in a decent size bed and be comfortable. The rent is higher but the layout of the room is very nice. Take it! 😊
Yes please Usui!!!!! If you can afford it get it!! Sometimes you need to pay a little more for your comfort. I know you're afraid of heights, however this is different. Watch the hustle and bustle below. I think it suits you!!!!
This is one great micro appartment! I would rotate the bed so that the feet end up towards the closet, opening up a big space to chill out or dance, or even have a desk against the wall next to the sliding door.
Квартира несомненно стоит этих денег. Это уже не мини-квартира, а полноценная квартира с отлично выстроенными зонами. В ней продумано всё до мелочей. Это не узкий коридор, а почти квадратная комната с панорамными окнами. Свет и простор! Маленькая прачечная не должна быть проблемой. А 4 этаж просто замечательно! Я живу на 5 этаже, в доме есть лифт, но несколько лет назад я отказалась от его использования, чтобы ходить пешком по лестнице. Это спорт. Движение это жизнь! Я однозначно голосую за эту квартиру!
I liked this one. It's spacious, big windows, has a mini balcony, a bathroom that works, this island is great and the positioning of its furniture would work. I like this one and the one from the toy store. 😘😘😘😘😘
This apartment looks so spacious compared to every other one you've shown us. It's almost on the verge of not being a micro apartment anymore! 😅 I like that this one has a fully functional kitchen space that can double as a multipurpose dining/study area.
I love the fact that you can entertain your guest sitting at the counter while you can cook something for dinner. It's a modern microapartment, and I love how bright it is. Still.. I liked the Toy Story-apartment much more. :D
@@Caramel_Latte_is_Delicious I thought brighter side of the loft can be used as an office, and the other side as a bedroom :) So you could put a couch in the living room downstairs and a dining table (- yeah, in my head I actually moved in there :D ).
That's the best apartment so far. Spacious but cozy and an intelligent room layout. A decent amount of storage, a very useful flexible bar counter and a lot of natural light. I'd definitely consider that one. Thanks for sharing them.
It's beautiful! Of all the micro apartments you've visited, this is the only one that's liveable. I love the big windows that let in the sun and the kitchen counter that doubles up as a dining table and work space. I would live here.
Not your style, but my favorite so far. I'd put the bed with storage underneath along the big window, stools under the bar counter, and an entertainment center along the empty wall for all of my books.
This is the best apartment so far in my opinion. The rent is higher than others that were nice, yet still maybe worth it depending on how the location works for individual.
It's bright with a lot of natural light coming in from the windows, space for storage, big kitchen space for food preparation/dinning/working, no weirdly angled toilet, many light fixtures as well. Seems like this is one of the most decent spaces we have seen in a while.
このアパートが一番好きです💕 there is enough room for cooking as we need to temporarily use dishes, bowls, and chopping board to process food. The layout of kitchen and washroom area is pretty reasonable. Refrigerator, gas stove and doorway of the washroom share common space. Also, I would like to place a bed between the closet and the opposite wall, leaving more space for doing yoga. 🧘♀️ The rental cost is 😅 not so affordable I think. I have to cook all meals by myself.
I believe the saying, good things come to those who wait! I believe this is more than you’re spending currently, but what a beautiful studio. So much more room than anywhere that you’ve shown us. Think you should take it Usui!!! Will you?!
This the most expensive apartment so far, but also by far the best one (in all terms) so far. This basically just needs bar stools for the counter, a pullout-couch as a day sofa and a bed at night and your desk (at the big window!), maybe a few blinds (when in summer the sun glares) and this is a very comfy living space!
This micro apartment is so well thought out! The layout has a dedicated space for life's essentials, e.g. coat and shoe rack, and a well-placed and decent-sized kitchen. It's not an odd shape where there is wasted space and the huge windows make the apartment look super spacious
I love the luxurious feel and stunning views! (Although little privacy). I love having the shoe rack and wardrobe nook at the door! (where you’re not staring at it while you’re home - except there’s a second closet, too! Although I like another commenter’s idea of putting the bed in that closet nook, as well as their observation that it may not be great for fear of heights). I don’t love the kitchen with its visible plumbing and poorly-designed under-space; it seems to waste so much space - but it is nice that it provides usage as both a table and desk; and you could have someone over for dinner if you enjoy that sort of thing - and if you like to cook, you can save some money toward rent by cooking more meals at home). This apartment seems to me more in line with US-ian thought; lots of room for kitchen and clothes storage. It is too bad that a combo washer/dryer doesn’t fit anywhere. Haha, I love the horn noise when something doesn’t work! And that rent, Oh my goodness!
That's quite a big bathroom for such a tiny space. You even have a separate sink IN the bathroom (not at the entry area lol). Actually this is one of the more spacious micro apartments where you could actually have guests andnot feel so crowded.
Шикарная квартира,Усуи!Есть место для хранения туалетной бумаги🎉😊 Большие окна,светлая комната!Можно полноценно готовить🧑🍳 Я сама влюбилась в эту квартиру(студию)❤
Ok, my new favorite. But I would put the refrigerator under the kitchen counter facing the living room, and put a tall, slim shelf there by the doorway.
I think this is probably the best apartment I've seen so far. At least for my taste. I, too, am afraid of heights, but with curtains I'd be just find. I think the rent is a bit high, but I live in the States & have no idea if this price would be worth it to live in a certain part of the city. If I had to pick one apartment to live in from all you have so graciously showed us, I think I'd pick this one......as long as there is an elevator. I'm 60 yrs old with back & leg disabilities, so an elevator would be a must. Thank you for taking us along with you. My husband is Japanese, but I've never been able to visit. I love watching your videos & getting to see some of the city. 💖💖💖
Bonsoir Usui-San, Je viens de regarder cette vidéo, je trouve cet appartement assez chouette. Certes il est plus cher que ceux que vous nous avez présentés jusque là, mais franchement, je trouve que le prix se justifie par rapport à d'autres ! Par contre, c'est vrai que le votre est peut-être exigü, mais vous semblez vous y sentir bien et surtourt "at home" ... Avec mon mari, nous cherchons à vivre "plus petit, plus sobrement" donc je comprends votre souhait d'avoir un micro appartement, En tous cas, je vous souhaite de trouver ce que vous recherchez !🎉
I'd likely use the counter like a desk unless I got myself a desktop PC. Shame the space for the washer/dryer seems only suited to top loaders, but that's OK to me. I like that the laundry rod has a way to put it out of the way when not in use. I'd probably have the head of the bed against the big window (which needs curtains or blinds) and a bookcase on the opposite wall where a TV can sit, unless I have a desktop PC, then I'd put the TV on the counter instead of using it as a desk, since there'd be a desk in the corner sue to the internet connection being in that corner. All in all, I really like this apartment, it's even in my price range with an elevator. Wish apartments like this were as cheap in my area.
The only two drawbacks are the high rent and the space allowed will not fit your own washing machine. Otherwise if your budget allows, it is the best micro apartment so far. The washroom with bathtub is a very nice size. A good sized refrigerator would store all of your beverages and Hagen Daz too.
This place is gorgeous and so well laid out, my favourite so far! I would probably get some of that stick-on privacy screen for the bottom half of the windows as it feels very exposed and I wouldn't want to have the curtains closed all the time.
Я влюбилась в эту квартиру...окна - моя любовь! И есть место для шкафа, стиральной машины и рабочее место (не надо покупать отдельный стол) но почти 700 евро аренда...у нас в Латвии за такие деньги можно снять 3х или 4х комнатную обычную квартиру, а в центре столицы 2х комнатную в элитных апартаментах. 😅
I really like this apartment! It looks so stylish and those big windows are awesome! I hope it won't be too cold with them though. The room is big, great for setting up your bed and desk easily! 😊 I also love the storage space by the door and the big kitchen, and that there's space for a refrigerator! The bathroom is pretty big too. And it's great that you can fit a washing machine in there, but sad that the one you have doesn't quite fit. And I always like how happy you are about having a place for toilet paper 😄 Overall, I think this is the best one we've seen! Poor Olaf at the end of the video though! 😅
This apartment seems perfect, I’m just worried that 4th floor maybe a problem for you regarding the height, hmmmm! Spider would love the height👍🏻 Do we keep looking? Actually I’m dreading the day you find something cos it means the search is over and I really like these videos👍🏻
instead of a small bed, I'd put a sofa that can be folded out into a spacious bed. Looks way more presentable, makes for a nice sitting area for you and your guests during the day, gives you more floor space during the day, and more bed space during the night :)
Oohh as someone that loves cooking and big windows, this one is one of my favorites. Sure, the view isn't that great, but I don't enjoy looking out the window - I just like the light.
New to the channel today . I lived in a microaparment for some time in the UK so I know what it is like to have to whole life in one room. I now live in a 6th Floor 2 bedroom apartment with a small office room and a balcony which has been encloed in glass so I can even use it in the wintertime in avery. It is an old building from the 1930's but it does have large windows and lovely viewa. This has so much potental. I really like that the bath and the toilet are in deifferent rooms. I love that there is a bar so you eat meals so you are not either eating meals on your desk or balancing bowls on your lap. The large windows and the view make it feel so spcaious and the views are so nice.
I really like that kitchen setup! Its like you're supposed to have guests over to wine and dine and the apartment itself is very accommodating to have visitors. Also, no need to bring a work desk as you can just work on that kitchen island near food 😅. Has an adequate amount of storage and love that its well lit and has good ventilation. If the monthly is not an issue for you then its a good place to move in. But hey, there's always episode 20 😁
My dumbass thought the place for washing machine in the bathroom was for shower at first and i was like "that seems too small for showering space but it is what it is" 😭💀🤡
The micro flat looks clean contemporary style. All in one living space with a built-in wardrobe. All in one cook/sink. Handy with compactable Air fryer/ mini oven/ fridge. Any furniture has to be, small compact. Better with a sofa bed with small compatible washing machine. So if you're not into big spaces this is ideal as long you're not claustrophobic. Ideal for xs- small pets only. What a video show tour. 😮 Completely speechless. 😮 But I loved it ❤
This one is perfect. Space for everything. I would go with a futon sofa along the large window. You can still hang cloths in the closet. Opposite wall can dresser with a TV and there is still from for a small desk. The big sell here is the kitchen. Still compact, but has counter space. Along with a stool, you can hide a roll rack for extra food storage. It is all very spacious for a small place. The price is expensive-would have to weigh cost of your daily transportation need to see if the price increase would be worth it. You are a very minimalist guy, so this might be too much space for you ;)
Hello Usui ! I wanted to introduce myself. My name is Cyndy and I'm 27 years old from Indonesia. I just became your new subscriber, and I must say, your videos are truly amazing and have been such an inspiration to me. One of my dreams is to live independently in a small private place, and the concept of living in a micro apartment like you do really resonates with me. Currently, I'm living with my family as I need to take care of my parents everyday. (usually people call it as Sandwich generation haha). However, my ultimate goal is to pursue my dream of living abroad and experiencing freedom. Japan being my top of my list. Your fantastic and entertaining videos bring me so much joy and motivation to work towards my goals. I've got some more saving up and learn Japanese to do before I can leave my country, so wish me luck ! Take care, Usui, and keep up the good work. Sending you well wishes from your fan, Cyndy :)
This one i would have taken immediately lol. It's so good. I like the open space kitchen and living room, plenty of space. Unfortunately the only downside its the price for me tbh.
I love this one! One thing I always notice is how tiny kitchen counters are in the apartments. This one is large enough that you could actually prepare food on it without worrying about touching a burner or dumping stuff in the sink. Getting the washer in that space will be interesting XD
Downsides: You'd have to get a smaller, top-loading washer, you may have to get a different chair to turn the countertop into your desk, and it's on the 4th floor with no elevator. Upsides: Nice large windows (you could get privacy film instead of curtains for one window to let in light), a shower and a tub, a nice square/rectangular space, no loft, toilet paper storage, room for a fridge, a big window to let in lots of fresh air when the weather is nice. I love this apartment!
This one's my favourite so far! I love that there's a proper stove (I love to cook) and the counter can work as both eating space and workspace. And it's so bright with a fun view!
@@redd8844 I have a similar situation in my bathroom. It's a little less than 2x3 meters and it looks like this: S L W T D C (D=door, C=cinq, W=window, T=toilet, S=shower, L=laundy machine, and the door opens into the hallway, so shortly after I moved into the apartment, the laundry machine stood in front of the door inside the bathroom which made using the bathroom super complicated.) So when I'm sitting on the toilet, I can look out of the window and put my toilet paper roll on the laundry machine. One workmate of my mom and his brother took the machine and placed it there as if it was just a big paper box and the workmate climbed over the machine to get out of the corner. 😅
I really like this one. Very thoughtful layout; from the shoe and coat area when you first walk in, to the built in counter/table space. I like that this one has a tub and shower option, washing machine separate from the living area and dehumidifier for drying clothes. It costs more than the other micro apartments, but it's also bigger. It's big enough that I could picture a young couple, just starting out, living here. If it's on the 4th floor, I hope they have an elevator.
J’adore ces grandes baies vitrées! On ne se sent pas oppressé dans cet appartement....pas comme celui, tout en longueur avec l'échelle 😅. Par contre il est très cher par rapport à celui, tres joli aussi, près d’asakusa. Et pourtant celui là était beaucoup plus grand. Le quartier est plus prisé?
I love this place so much! The giant windows, the modern colors, the space, and the toilet paper storage!!! And the rent really isnt that bad for what youre getting here
Yep best by far. Sofa bed, use kitchen bench as desk, lots of storage. Could move coat rack down and attach another shelf. Sell washer dryer get a smaller one. Use top of fridge to put keys etc as you come in.
Hola!! Sí, este apartamento me ha gustado! Soleado, buen espacio para cocina, baño y habitación, sin embargo, el espacio para la lavadora, la instalación de cortinas, el precio, son menos favorables. ✨ Saludos.

Although I like another commenter’s idea of putting the bed in that closet nook, as well as their observation that it may not be great for fear of heights). I don’t love the kitchen with its visible plumbing and poorly-designed under-space; it seems to waste so much space - but it is nice that it provides usage as both a table and desk; and you could have someone over for dinner if you enjoy that sort of thing - and if you like to cook, you can save some money toward rent by cooking more meals at home). This apartment seems to me more in line with US-ian thought; lots of room for kitchen and clothes storage. It is too bad that a combo washer/dryer doesn’t fit anywhere. Haha, I love the horn noise when something doesn’t work! And that rent, Oh my goodness!
That's quite a big bathroom for such a tiny space. You even have a separate sink IN the bathroom (not at the entry area lol). Actually this is one of the more spacious micro apartments where you could actually have guests andnot feel so crowded.
You have to take this place! It’s perfect! Those windows!
I have to admit this one is perfect for me. It feels so luxurious and those giant windows are just what i love!
I love this one! Plenty of storage and laid out nicely! So sunny and bright!
All i can say is WOW! Thats a really nice place, just need to figure out the laundry situation. This is the nicest so far 😊😊
Usui-San! You’ve hit the motherlode! This is the one! It’s very swanky, nice, and modern. This one!!!!
Шикарная квартира,Усуи!Есть место для хранения туалетной бумаги🎉😊
Большие окна,светлая комната!Можно полноценно готовить🧑🍳
Я сама влюбилась в эту квартиру(студию)❤
This apartment is your wet dream, man. New, with large windows and a Toilet Paper Storage!
And where does the rest go? But that same problem exists for all micro appartments.
@@_filifjonkan4290 use a hammock.
Finally, some work space in the kitchen!
Das ist eine tolle Wohnung mit vielen Möglichkeiten 👍😍 Leider etwas teuer. Für den Preis wäre ein Fahrstuhl super 🎉
Ok, my new favorite. But I would put the refrigerator under the kitchen counter facing the living room, and put a tall, slim shelf there by the doorway.
I think this is probably the best apartment I've seen so far. At least for my taste. I, too, am afraid of heights, but with curtains I'd be just find. I think the rent is a bit high, but I live in the States & have no idea if this price would be worth it to live in a certain part of the city. If I had to pick one apartment to live in from all you have so graciously showed us, I think I'd pick this one......as long as there is an elevator. I'm 60 yrs old with back & leg disabilities, so an elevator would be a must. Thank you for taking us along with you. My husband is Japanese, but I've never been able to visit. I love watching your videos & getting to see some of the city. 💖💖💖
Thanks for your comment!🥰
Bonsoir Usui-San,
Je viens de regarder cette vidéo, je trouve cet appartement assez chouette. Certes il est plus cher que ceux que vous nous avez présentés jusque là, mais franchement, je trouve que le prix se justifie par rapport à d'autres !
Par contre, c'est vrai que le votre est peut-être exigü, mais vous semblez vous y sentir bien et surtourt "at home" ... Avec mon mari, nous cherchons à vivre "plus petit, plus sobrement" donc je comprends votre souhait d'avoir un micro appartement,
En tous cas, je vous souhaite de trouver ce que vous recherchez !🎉
I'd likely use the counter like a desk unless I got myself a desktop PC. Shame the space for the washer/dryer seems only suited to top loaders, but that's OK to me. I like that the laundry rod has a way to put it out of the way when not in use. I'd probably have the head of the bed against the big window (which needs curtains or blinds) and a bookcase on the opposite wall where a TV can sit, unless I have a desktop PC, then I'd put the TV on the counter instead of using it as a desk, since there'd be a desk in the corner sue to the internet connection being in that corner.
All in all, I really like this apartment, it's even in my price range with an elevator. Wish apartments like this were as cheap in my area.
The only two drawbacks are the high rent and the space allowed will not fit your own washing machine. Otherwise if your budget allows, it is the best micro apartment so far. The washroom with bathtub is a very nice size. A good sized refrigerator would store all of your beverages and Hagen Daz too.
This place is gorgeous and so well laid out, my favourite so far! I would probably get some of that stick-on privacy screen for the bottom half of the windows as it feels very exposed and I wouldn't want to have the curtains closed all the time.
Я влюбилась в эту квартиру...окна - моя любовь! И есть место для шкафа, стиральной машины и рабочее место (не надо покупать отдельный стол) но почти 700 евро аренда...у нас в Латвии за такие деньги можно снять 3х или 4х комнатную обычную квартиру, а в центре столицы 2х комнатную в элитных апартаментах. 😅
Nice place. Love the Music
I really like this apartment! It looks so stylish and those big windows are awesome! I hope it won't be too cold with them though. The room is big, great for setting up your bed and desk easily! 😊 I also love the storage space by the door and the big kitchen, and that there's space for a refrigerator! The bathroom is pretty big too. And it's great that you can fit a washing machine in there, but sad that the one you have doesn't quite fit. And I always like how happy you are about having a place for toilet paper 😄
Overall, I think this is the best one we've seen!
Poor Olaf at the end of the video though! 😅
😅⛄️
This apartment seems perfect, I’m just worried that 4th floor maybe a problem for you regarding the height, hmmmm! Spider would love the height👍🏻
Do we keep looking? Actually I’m dreading the day you find something cos it means the search is over and I really like these videos👍🏻
this one is pretty good. I love it
Like the idea with the island. Not only can you eat there, but maybe work there as well.
instead of a small bed, I'd put a sofa that can be folded out into a spacious bed. Looks way more presentable, makes for a nice sitting area for you and your guests during the day, gives you more floor space during the day, and more bed space during the night :)
Oohh as someone that loves cooking and big windows, this one is one of my favorites. Sure, the view isn't that great, but I don't enjoy looking out the window - I just like the light.
New to the channel today . I lived in a microaparment for some time in the UK so I know what it is like to have to whole life in one room. I now live in a 6th Floor 2 bedroom apartment with a small office room and a balcony which has been encloed in glass so I can even use it in the wintertime in avery. It is an old building from the 1930's but it does have large windows and lovely viewa.
This has so much potental. I really like that the bath and the toilet are in deifferent rooms. I love that there is a bar so you eat meals so you are not either eating meals on your desk or balancing bowls on your lap. The large windows and the view make it feel so spcaious and the views are so nice.
I would definitely live in this one
Beautiful and practical, if just a little expensive
one of the best ones so far! :0
I really like that kitchen setup! Its like you're supposed to have guests over to wine and dine and the apartment itself is very accommodating to have visitors. Also, no need to bring a work desk as you can just work on that kitchen island near food 😅. Has an adequate amount of storage and love that its well lit and has good ventilation.
If the monthly is not an issue for you then its a good place to move in. But hey, there's always episode 20 😁
Schöne Wohnung, preislich ist sie auch o.k. Und Du hast viel mehr Platz als in Deiner jetzigen Wohnung 👍🏻
Ah witzig, hier sind ja auch noch andere deutsche Zuschauer 😊
@@punktetierpanda7193 Logo 👍🏻🤗
Hier ist noch eine😂!
Gracias por tus videos, los veo desde el País Vasco. Bonito ese apartamento, me gusta la cozina y la luz que entra. 👍🏻
My dumbass thought the place for washing machine in the bathroom was for shower at first and i was like "that seems too small for showering space but it is what it is" 😭💀🤡
Í think it is the best so far. Space for everything, and bright.
The micro flat looks clean contemporary style.
All in one living space with a built-in wardrobe. All in one cook/sink. Handy with compactable Air fryer/ mini oven/ fridge. Any furniture has to be, small compact. Better with a sofa bed with small compatible washing machine.
So if you're not into big spaces this is ideal as long you're not claustrophobic.
Ideal for xs- small pets only.
What a video show tour. 😮
Completely speechless. 😮 But I loved it ❤
Too expensive but i like the built in storage and the fact you can make the kitchen counter both a dining table and a desk.
This one is perfect. Space for everything. I would go with a futon sofa along the large window. You can still hang cloths in the closet. Opposite wall can dresser with a TV and there is still from for a small desk. The big sell here is the kitchen. Still compact, but has counter space. Along with a stool, you can hide a roll rack for extra food storage. It is all very spacious for a small place. The price is expensive-would have to weigh cost of your daily transportation need to see if the price increase would be worth it. You are a very minimalist guy, so this might be too much space for you ;)
Very good apartment!
😮😮😮 👍This is really nice, a little larger than others and these big windows are pretty cool!!! And Olaf is so cuuuute!!! ☃️😭🥰
10:43 Olaf melts when the heating is on. You are funny and creative. ⛄
Thanks for your comment!🥰⛄️
Hello Usui ! I wanted to introduce myself. My name is Cyndy and I'm 27 years old from Indonesia. I just became your new subscriber, and I must say, your videos are truly amazing and have been such an inspiration to me. One of my dreams is to live independently in a small private place, and the concept of living in a micro apartment like you do really resonates with me. Currently, I'm living with my family as I need to take care of my parents everyday. (usually people call it as Sandwich generation haha). However, my ultimate goal is to pursue my dream of living abroad and experiencing freedom. Japan being my top of my list. Your fantastic and entertaining videos bring me so much joy and motivation to work towards my goals. I've got some more saving up and learn Japanese to do before I can leave my country, so wish me luck !
Take care, Usui, and keep up the good work. Sending you well wishes from your fan, Cyndy :)
This one i would have taken immediately lol. It's so good. I like the open space kitchen and living room, plenty of space. Unfortunately the only downside its the price for me tbh.
I love this one it checks all the boxes from bright and sunny, large tub, workspace in the kitchen, closet space. I'm in love.
가장 실속있는 집이네요. 대신 창문이 커서 집안이 추울 것 같습니다. 그래도 살아보고 싶습니다.
의견 주셔서 감사합니다!🥰
I love this one! One thing I always notice is how tiny kitchen counters are in the apartments. This one is large enough that you could actually prepare food on it without worrying about touching a burner or dumping stuff in the sink.
Getting the washer in that space will be interesting XD
Normal apartment layout. There is space for a kitchen with a table . You can live!
In such an apartment I would prefer to use a futon.
Ma ciao bellissimo gattino ❤️
Downsides: You'd have to get a smaller, top-loading washer, you may have to get a different chair to turn the countertop into your desk, and it's on the 4th floor with no elevator.
Upsides: Nice large windows (you could get privacy film instead of curtains for one window to let in light), a shower and a tub, a nice square/rectangular space, no loft, toilet paper storage, room for a fridge, a big window to let in lots of fresh air when the weather is nice.
I love this apartment!
This one's my favourite so far! I love that there's a proper stove (I love to cook) and the counter can work as both eating space and workspace. And it's so bright with a fun view!
That is very modern apartment. Smart.
Bisher das beste was zu sehen war aber natürlich stolzer Preis nur zum schlafen
Che bel cagnolino ❤️
I love it!
How would you even get a washing machine into that corner without removing the sink or toilet first? 😂
😅
Technically it's possible, but probably needs 2-3 menpower to do it😅(to carry the washing machine above the sink & toilet)
and there's no elevator😂
Plus, it must be a top loader if you are going to be able to use it.
@@redd8844 I have a similar situation in my bathroom. It's a little less than 2x3 meters and it looks like this:
S L
W T
D C
(D=door, C=cinq, W=window, T=toilet, S=shower, L=laundy machine, and the door opens into the hallway, so shortly after I moved into the apartment, the laundry machine stood in front of the door inside the bathroom which made using the bathroom super complicated.)
So when I'm sitting on the toilet, I can look out of the window and put my toilet paper roll on the laundry machine. One workmate of my mom and his brother took the machine and placed it there as if it was just a big paper box and the workmate climbed over the machine to get out of the corner. 😅
Usui; A suggestion, Please show the facade of the building and a little of the neighborhood in your videos.
I really like this one. Space layout is a bit more functional 😊 and the big windows are lovely
Esté es mi favorito hasta ahora! A excepción del espacio para lavadora todo lo demás me parece ideal 🤘
I really like this one. Very thoughtful layout; from the shoe and coat area when you first walk in, to the built in counter/table space. I like that this one has a tub and shower option, washing machine separate from the living area and dehumidifier for drying clothes. It costs more than the other micro apartments, but it's also bigger. It's big enough that I could picture a young couple, just starting out, living here. If it's on the 4th floor, I hope they have an elevator.
All I need in a home is to be able to look out into the world and watch things pass by, plenty of light.. this is a good choice.
Honestly one of the best ones yet.
J’adore ces grandes baies vitrées! On ne se sent pas oppressé dans cet appartement....pas comme celui, tout en longueur avec l'échelle 😅. Par contre il est très cher par rapport à celui, tres joli aussi, près d’asakusa. Et pourtant celui là était beaucoup plus grand. Le quartier est plus prisé?
I really liked this apartment, but the price seems high
This if the best micro apartment ❤, I love it with the 2 large windows 🎉 and the kitchen area…
No.1😊
I love this place so much! The giant windows, the modern colors, the space, and the toilet paper storage!!! And the rent really isnt that bad for what youre getting here
I love this place, I'd move in!! The big windows are fantastic and so much light. All the best with your search 🙂.
Yep best by far. Sofa bed, use kitchen bench as desk, lots of storage. Could move coat rack down and attach another shelf. Sell washer dryer get a smaller one. Use top of fridge to put keys etc as you come in.
Hola!! Sí, este apartamento me ha gustado! Soleado, buen espacio para cocina, baño y habitación, sin embargo, el espacio para la lavadora, la instalación de cortinas, el precio, son menos favorables. ✨ Saludos.
أعجبتني الشرفة الصغيرة لكن ثمن الإيجار مرتفع 🤗 شكرا لك 💜💜💜
I love it when there's a sink in the bathroom 😂 but I think you're right, it's too expensive
