Thank you for a look at how you live in a densely populated city. I couldn't live there. I live on 10 acres of land in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains in South Carolina USA. I believe we can all adapt to any situation but it also depends in what conditions one is raised. I prefer the space and solitude. However, for that I give up access to the shopping, food, and other amenities available in cities.
That’s very true! Not everyone can live in an apartment like this. Obviously I would prefer bigger apartment as well. The rent in HK is just crazy high, so for a poor student like myself this is all I can afford lol
It's very tiny. I lived in Hong Kong from 2007 to 2012 and we were clearly very fortunate as we had a three bedroom apartment with a large lounge and dining area, two bathrooms and a good sized kitchen. It was just under 1,000 sq ft, which is large by Hong Kong standards.
It's not bad! It seems cozy enough. You could maximize the space with some shelves, especially for your hair and makeup station. I could definitely live there!
If you don't have long mirror get four smaller mirrors just like the one in your apartment and stick them on the wall under one mirror you have, it looks like you would have a lot of difficulty carrying a long mirror into your apartment. All the best🏄🏾
This is actually not bad at all! I live in NYC, my small studio is super small but I am paying $1350 USD for it. Your bedroom is pretty huge, very spacious and I like it!
You're lucky to have that in Hong Kong, I saw a video on TH-cam about the coffin apartments that people are living in Hong Kong a lot smaller than yours. Consider yourself lucky.
That’s totally fine. Depends alot about your living situation (location, size) and about what you do during your free time. If you find a studio in an ok area and like to eat local food, that amount should definitely be sufficient. I was living with about 20k HKD a month and sometimes is sucked but i made it work.
For less expensive than this you have a little palace in Vietnam omg, what an idea to go there knowing that even locals have to live in coffins because there's no room anymore.
If stay in here for a short term still consider acceptable but of course depends on our budget too, may I know how much the monthly rental for this studio apartment?
I agree, for a short term the apartment is okay (especially because of the amazing location). The rent was 10,000 hkd/month which is like around 1300-1400 usd.
The majority of apt in HK are not coffin apts. That's like saying everyone is homeless in USA. Coffin apts exist but are a representative of the underpriviledged in society and are not the norm. Really horrible places to live
I'm brand new and this is my first view. What brought you to Hong Kong? Do you spend the majority of your waking hours out and about? My main concern would be safety. Medical emergency, or fire. You do seem to have a very good attitude. Young and adaptable.
Thank you for the nice comment! I'm doing my internship here. Most days I'm at the office and then out with my friends so luckily I don't even spend that much time in the apartment. You are correct with the safety, most apartments here don't invest in safety that much (if at all).
Hi Abby I'm a new subscriber from the UK and this is the first video of yours that I've watched and I really enjoyed it. Are you originally from Finland? What's your internship? If this is your first apartment you start small and your home space, whatever or wherever that may be, will grow alongside you. Everyone has to start somewhere ⁰
Hi, thank you for the comment! Yes, I’m originally from Finland and actually back home already. My internship was organizing events and also some other business related things. Luckily, my apartment in Finland is so much bigger and cheaper haha
This place , so call apartments for very low income to stay there. Same as NY, this size apartment in NY Manhattan cost you $3,000.00 US dollars a month, unless you live in Brooklyn, or NY south side, it’s cheap, but the chance getting stalkers or chance of being rape likelihood is about anytime in the evening if you walk alone, but for sure this won’t happen in Hong Kong.
@@abbylicious1994 I live in Kenya and am puzzled as to how a similar apartment costs 100usd in my country and yet it's so expensive in more developed countries.. you should come to Kenya😃
Firstly, I never said the apartment was gross lol. It was actually pretty nice for 5 months and the location was excellent. Secondly, I would have loved to live in a bigger apartment but simply just could not pay more rent.

An absolute paradise ....for anyone 4 feet tall or smaller...!!! Finally, a place, just for them !!

and how much were you paying for that apartment?
You can add shelving high up your walls too. Vertical space is rarely used and bins can hide seasonal clothing.
Totally agree. Too bad we weren't allowed to install shelves.
you would be considered spoiled compared to the 100,000 people who live in the coffin apartments, and even this is just about unbearable to me.
True small place tho
@@amandaburger3312 absolutely. i couldn't do it.
It's not bad! It seems cozy enough. You could maximize the space with some shelves, especially for your hair and makeup station.
I could definitely live there!
Yeah, too bad we weren't allowed to install shelves. But I agree, totally livable at least for a short period of time.

Apartment looks like some version of the dorm room that my brother shared with his roommate in college. Yours is way too neat.

Yeah, totally. I'm super lucky compared to the people living in the coffin apartments.
In Vienna, I live in 75m/2 and I find my appartment to small
Thank you for the video👌👍
HK apartments are mostly small 🤷 and famous of expensive!!!!
Yesss, exactly!
I got offered 50K$ salary per month in HK, would you tell me if it's a good deal in terms of monthly living/leisure expenses?
That’s totally fine. Depends alot about your living situation (location, size) and about what you do during your free time.

That area of hong kong looks so much like times square
How much is the rent?
Looked like an apartment unit that has been modified into a hostel-like apartment
Naaah, it’s just how most HK apartments are 😃
Nice one and sufficient apt...

What size was the bed? How much per month?
The bed was like 140cm, pretty small for 2. Rent 10,000 HKD so around 1300-1400 usd
Taitaa olla paikka jossa vain käytte nukkumassa ja mikä olikaan vuokra tästä tilasta ?
Kyllä mä täällä tykkään ihan hengailla myös 😃 Vuokra oli alkuun 1100e nyt noussut jo 1300e ja joka kuukaus nousee lisää n. 100e 👍🏾
@@abbylicious1994 e is Euros?
@@pattersonellen yes. So because the value of the euro weakens, the rent price increases every month..
Every time I see these type of apartments I think college dorm rooms.
This very nice for a small space. Much better than coffin homes in China!
I think it’s illegal to record the coffin homes that make a maximum security prison cell look big and roomy
@@jakeg3126 very true, well I guess it would depend on what country the prison is in...some are far better than others.
Thanks for giving us such an honest video, I can tell your an loving person who wants to reach out to people. You will go to heaven I think ;)
What is the best place to stay in Hong Kong and where in a 2500hkd , pls assist
You mean you only have 2500hkd to spend for the rent? Sorry to say, you can’t get anything with that amount.
What's the 1bhk will cost in Cathay city
Kinda like New York, small and expensive apartments
With less crimes
Its my luck to be in India..we have big independant houses ...with very spacious rooms..
Wow nice...cosy small tiny apartment...what s it 10 sq m??😊
Really, what a journey, suppose you forget something and have to go back to your house........
Man if a fire breaks out there you're screwed
Oooh, I don’t even wanna think about that 🫣
What happens if you decide you want a gaming set up
probably not allowed lol
Yes if I had to live there I could

How much?
HK$10,000 per month
No I would not be able to live in a apartment that small.
I would luv to call that my own. But no comfort chair. Tv. Table to eat. S.a.
This is so cool!! Thank you for your work in making this video and sharing!! Amazing!! 🤩 😎
U didn't take your shoes off
My bad lol
Your room is beautiful

Why are you living in HK?
I’m not anymore. I was doing my 6month internship.
coo
Omg roaches everywhere? Idc how big or small, there’s got to be pest control
Roaches are pretty normal sight in HK lol
This is ridiculous. Such a tiny apartment 😳😳😳
All those ppl would make me nervous
Hi
wow! that's an apartment ?
Hah i know right!?
It's very cute
And she got a nice ROUND SMILE
haha. i see that ROUND SMILE.
A cleaner version of times square.
I couldn’t live there
I feel you...lol
abby i could live with you anywhere
Luxury compared to coffin homes
Oh, for sure!
Nice place
15 sq.m.?
Yeah something like that, maybe even less.
Eu moraria aí com você 😘! Um beijão do Brasil.
Muito obrigado! 😊
Looks like a hostel
No way would live in that apt. Finland got to be a better place to live.
You are 100% correct lol
Abby you are so beautiful
That is not an apartment....that is a room.............ewwwwww
I would love to talk to you about an idea that I have
Sure, go for it lol
Before I get into the idea, are you currently still in China ?
@@terrellwhitaker6415 Nope, back home already 😕 sorry
The shower😩 tai siis ei ole suihku
ja aika matka kadulta😅
No onhan se suihku? Mikä sitte? 😃 ja meillä nimenomaan tosi lyhyt matka kun ihan exitin vieressä.
Very small apt
1200 usd a month for that?! Insanity.
Hah i know right, welcome to HK!
It is still cheap compared to NYC. In New York you would have 1/2 of the space and no personal bathroom.
So, like do you work in HK.
Doing my internship
I b scared to death there
Wondering why wouldn’t you pay more to live somewhere else that’s not gross to you. Xxx
Firstly, I never said the apartment was gross lol. It was actually pretty nice for 5 months and the location was excellent. Secondly, I would have loved to live in a bigger apartment but simply just could not pay more rent.
holy cats wow tiny not for me !
What a dump! No way
Y do u want to live in those horrible condition
Honestly, this apartment is very good compared to many apartments in HK.
Very Small Ok no too Small Ok
really awful😂
Awful these masks, very unhealty
Wow, so small!😟
