New York City
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.
except this is a box of somebody else's and they charge a lot for it. these tiny apartments should be illegal.
It's not his.
@@christophers.4007it’s a NYC thing. I did it too. NYers spend more time outdoors.
@@DRS427 i am a born and raised NYer, for 29 years. This apartment is still hell on earth. Glad I've been out of NY for 7 years. Unfortunately i still work there. If i wasn't vested in my job i would never return to NYC.
Great Quote!!! :)
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!
My sentiments exactly! I'm from South Carolina, and I couldn't agree more! 😄
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.
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.
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.
As long as you’re not on the street , you’re warm , happy that’s all that matter, you have your own space . ♥️🙏🏾
So patronizing
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
@carribeanQueen72xx Agreed!!
Wow, what a nice young man who’s so positive about life and what you make of it. He seems happier in his 95 sq ft than some people I know in 3500 sq ft. It’s all about your happiness and love of life. We need more like him!
So Smart, So Articulate, So clean, So organized, So positive, Soòoooo Cute😊. ~~ I agree w/all the supportive comments above mine. KEEP ON, KEEPIN' ON YOUNG DUDE👍 .
I love how his eyes smile even when the rest of his face is serious.
So true.
Or naiveté and poverty
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.
It's not "just" a tiny apartment. You've described it as a home with a heartbeat. Kudos to u. It's lovely
Lovely? Oy vey.
I think it's lovely too💖!
Everyone deserves a space of their own, a place to contemplate, a place to rest and a place to grow. You've built a beautiful one!
🥰
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?!
Virginia Wolfe said it 100 years ago..and said it best
A place that is SAFE!
Am a Canadian living in Florida and have met a lot of New Yorkers who have moved to Florida bec of the cost of living. You are amazing; I have 2 boys who are probably same age as you and I am hoping they can just be as positively oriented as you. Kudos to your parents for raising you well!
Amen.
It's just as bad in Florida
This is a great apartment for NYC, and you are awesome
The Floridian cost of living is rising higher and higher. I recently left Florida after residing there nearly all my Life. I've purchased a large and lovely home outright, in cash, in a small, quiet town in Ohio. I would have never been able to purchase outright in Florida.
I like the attitude of this young man and the manner in which he has accepted his present situation .Instead of complaining ,he has adapted so well and turned this tiny apartment into a home and filled it warmth and positivity. He has learnt the first lesson of life either find a solution or accept .Such wisdom in one so young is quite amazing .
👍
👏👏❤️🤗 absolutely!!!
Agreed 👍
First x here. Can’t wait for the adventure.
very well said and agreed 🤟🤟👍👍👍
Just lovely. I am a native New Yorker and I lived with my daughter in a one bedroom tiny tiny apartment in the Bronx. I felt blessed and very happy to have a home. You are blessed..bottom line. Don't let anyone judge you or your cute little home..yes it is your home..and home is what you make it. Enjoy and I will keep following you just because you seem nice and down to earth. Positive vibes your way young man!
EXACTLY 💯 %
Creative apartment. It’s nice to have it all your own without having to share the space
@@linda1541 There is no space to share!
I agree. At his stage of life his tiny home is working for him. Of course he should feel proud! One day he may outgrow it. Until then, it's home! Nothing to be ashamed of at all. God bless!
Same! He did such a great job maximizing the space too. Looks cozy for a 1 person apartment.
He made the most out of his room and put a lot of thought and love into his furnishings and dekoration. As tiny as it is, it' a cosy space for peace of mind. So much better than sharing a bigger appartment with one or multiple room mates for sure. He is a lovely guy with great style and a lot of positivity.
My husband and I decided to spend our retirement years traveling in an RV. it was great. Then Covid happened and we realized we needed a home base. We opted for a tiny house. Tiny living is really quite liberating. I am very impressed with your use of space. Dang! You even have a full size refrigerator in there.
Never explain Never apologize. If your live is as much as you seem to appreciate, celebrate it!!
It doesn't matter whether it's a shack or a castle, to have a place that you can call home is all that matters. You have done a great job with your apt. 👍
I agree 💯👍.
Amen
Considering the “coffin” and “cage” homes in Taiwan, this is a mansion in comparison lmao
This is so sweet. It humbles me. It makes me reevaluate my own space and my own things and how much respect and appreciation I show for anything I have. I’m proud of you. You’ve made a lovely home for yourself 🥹
I would never think to judge your little apartment. It's adorable, and so are you. It looks comfortable and homey. 😇 You have a new sub.
What a sweet young man!
Enjoy your work, your youth and your cozy little apartment.
He's charming, isn't he? And his little space is so cozy and well-equipped.
Handsome. He reminds me of some talented European artist.
I love it & $1100 a month with everything is a fantastic price! I also love those beautiful lil houses. I actually live in a mobile home it's beautiful! I used to be all snotty & stuck up & would always dog trailers & ppl whom live in them! I own my mobile home & you will never own an apartment!!! Always remember that! But very beautiful to see your NYC apartment! Best wishes & luck!
@@KimFsharpHarp omg! Yes & so polite & well spoken.
Couldn’t agree more! His charming and positive outlook on life and how he made the space his own is just wonderful 😊
I have great respect for this guy making a home out of this small space. He has done a wonderful job!
That has to be the most efficient 95 sq ft apartment ever. $1100 dollars all up, down town New York is a bargain and you have it set up nicely. Well done!!
This Small Apartment is Neat Clean and Functional for this young man! He definitely independent,focused,and definitely ambitious. God Bless.
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...
Whatever state you are in to be content.
Ive seen african mud hut bigger than this. This is just depressing
@@kh5322 well I don't know about anybody else but I think it's a lot more comfortable than a mud hut in Africa and I would choose it anyday over the mud hut.
I would prefer a mud hut to a closet.
@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.
Any place big or small can be heaven if you're happy, safe, and living your best life. This kid is handsome, young, ambitious, and not into bad habits as far as one can see. I think he's going to be successful anywhere he goes
lol
@@newjackcity7862 yes, kid. Sadly, after you get pass a certain age, everyone is a kid. You find this offensive? It used to be a positive comment you made about people. Has it become offensive? How sad
@@Ana-bn9tw so true!! To me a 30 year is a kid..
I wouldn’t mind being called kid for the rest of my life 😉
The new American dream. Work your ass of so you can afford Living in a space as big as jail Cell. At least in prison you get food and medics.
@@charrua59 There is a trade-off for everything in this life. The times we are living in are tough no matter how you slice it. The guy seems happy and the place is his. He can come and go as he pleases unlike living in a jail cell. And maybe he really loves living in the area and surroundings that he is in and to him that makes up for the small size of his living quarters.
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.
How cute and cozy and an AWESOME use of space!! I live in California so I'm not surprised the rent is $1100. People here pay almost $2,000 JUST to rent a room in another person's house that you have to share with other people. I would pick a tiny space like yours ANY DAY over living with other people. I watch enough People's Court to know that rarely works out. LOL
What a breath of fresh air. Not only does your apartment have a cozy and welcoming vibe, you have been very clever in your arrangement and use of minimal space. I envy your lack of "stuff," which most people have far too much of in my opinion.
I agree, it’s an aspirational amount of organization most of us can’t achieve in larger (not by much) spaces in NYC.
Wonderfull!!! Cool guy with a unique style. Love his home!
It made me chuckle when he used the word "hoard" to describe the shelf of stuff hidden behind the black sheet above his kitchenette. Comparing to my stuff, he's a minimalist to the extreme! LOL.
I don't know why anyone would sneer at a young person just starting out in life. Your positive attitude and imaginative use of and gratitude for what you have is an inspiration.I wish you all the best for your future, which I'm sure will be a bright one
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.
@@UltimoDogLover It's the same in London. There's some professions where you have to earn your stripes in the city for a couple of years before you can move on. I don't think even London is as expensive as New York though
I don't think anyone is sneering at him so much as worried that he's throwing his money away. He's a barber. He could literally work anywhere else and get cheaper living quarters that are ten times as big for less money. I guess I just don't get the draw of bankrupting ones self just to live in a city. They are pretty much all the same: noisy, crowded, polluted and expensive.
You either love NYC or u don’t. Imagine the rent they command for the pleasure.
@@heatherkingston1445 NO! Not all cities are the same. I live in New York City now after living sixty years in Los Angeles. New York City has an "energy" and a "vibe" that few other places have. It is so so so worth it, to sacrifice financially to live here. I love it here. I will never go back to Los Angeles.
It might just be a room, but after seeing the fake delusional "happiness" some people have living in genuine bad conditions just to live in new York, you seem to have a genuine happy attitude and that alone will make you happier then most people in life. I commend your efforts and what you are doing.
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.
As a former NYer (Manhattan - East Village), I spent all my years there in studio apartments. They were bigger than this, but I've always loved the "challenge" of making a wee space comfortable and functional...and you've done this. Having a space of your own is so important, and if you lived with roommates, your bedroom wouldn't be much bigger than this anyway (prices in NYC are insane right now), and you'd have no privacy. This is great!
I really like this guy's attitude.He has created a nice home for himself and he's proud of this accomplishment. And he should be. He makes things work in such a tiny space! I love his place and think that he has made good choices about storage, etc. To top it off, he lives in a great area! And I have to say he is very cute.
Yes
He's grateful which most people aren't for a lot more!
Me too, it's nice the way he subscribes it . 🫠
He walked in and sat right down. He barely had room to think about it
@@belastohanzl he "suscribes" to what the shoebox room? Oh you're being cute and meant describes?
So cute! I love all the thought and care that went into it. Very nice.
*YOUR HOME IS COZY AND CHARMING. THANK YOU FOR SHARING IT WITH US !!!*
Your apartment is so much more than "just a room" You've thought of everything and been incredibly resourceful setting it up. It's a lovely cozy space that you can be proud of. Thanks for sharing!
Your delivery, demeanor, and extraordinary positivity are thoroughly engaging. (being so good looking doesn’t hurt either.) You embody the true spirit of New York, I love to see it. Very glad you’re one of us! :) And btw… your place is cozy & so nicely organized, well done! 🙌
Yeah, I wouldn't mind sharing the futon with him
HE DEF DOES!!!!!
❤Well stated! So engaging & genuine❤
Nice place 😊
@@bobmalack481 nah fam he’s good looking and has a good attitude which takes him very far I’m sure unlike some sour bobs in the comments 🙊
It feels really sad watching on youtube how our generation struggles with rental situation. I’m living in Israel right now and the rental prices is above the sky so I kinda in the same bucket even though my apartment is just a little bigger. But I really admire your gratitude and positivity. Even in such a little space you are able to find some good things. I wish you all the best.
I think your apartment is super. You should be proud of how you've arranged everything you need. I can tell you're a bright, sensible guy.
Here in the Midwest my first place was called an “efficiency”. It had a full kitchen, 4 piece shower a dressing area, three closets and a living room with a bed nook in the corner. It was just mine and I loved it. My own space. All my furniture was hand me downs but like you I made it my own. That was 45 years ago. Enjoy your home and your life!
He seems like such a nice , happy person and what he said about it being not just a room but his home is very touching , I'm sitting in almost 5,000 sq ft but I'm not happy 🌴💋
Ahh,😢
Desi in case no one has told you lately...
You Are beautiful ❤️
Look for the beauty within and count your blessings...... happiness is a inside job. Take some quiet time for yourself everyday and reflect. It might help change your outlook. Sending good vibes your way😊
I’m sorry 😞
I would guess that you haven't thought carefully about what it is actually you want out of life. What basically are you needs and why you're in 5,000 sq ft if that is not what you want and need. Focus on what it is and work towards that end. You may be surprised. From an 81 yr old lady who learned one thing, there are always options.
Your energy is fantastic. I love how you have organized yourself in NYC! Thanks for sharing with us. ❤️🙏🇨🇦
Just remodeled a 966 square foot home. Small for 2 people in todays standards but for me, it has so many plusses! When finished, less space to clutter, clean and yet have a guest room that will sleep 4 in beds and 2 in the floor,(on a blowup mattress) and a piano!! It's all about making the most out of the space you have. Thanks for sharing! Your apartment is gorgeous!
What a positive,delightful young man! I love what you have done with your space. ❤️
Very nice young man. Questionable decision to scribble all over himself in permanent ink though.
Watching from Australia ( and now subscribed). I'm a 70 yr old gran, (mum of 4 and gran of 8), and have to say, this is one of the most refreshing videos I've watched in a long time. You've made a home, somewhere you are safe and happy. I wish more people had your attitude....well done !
His rent is twice your mortgage.
@@johnlittle3430 Oh really?...pray tell...how much is my mortgage? I have great admiration for young 'can do' people ❤️
@@susanjacquier5358 If he's paying under three grand a month for this tiny closet that no actual person could live in, I'll eat my hat. How's that sound?
@@johnlittle3430 Word salad🤣
@@susanjacquier5358 Sure. If that's how you sleep at night, knock yourself out.
He is so well spoken and friendly. I know he is satisfied with his space but hopefully things work out for him to get a bigger space in the future!
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.
You have a roof over your head and you’ve done an amazing job of making it a cozy place to live. There are lots of people who are converting to tiny house living. If you enjoy your home don’t be concerned about what anyone else thinks. Thank you for sharing.
It's a tiny home. But it is yours , and it looks nice and cozy. Very cute
thanks!
Living in NYC for a year is on my bucket list! I absolutely love this video and the fact that you are enjoying life so much. I wish you well in the new year.
Having lived in NY my whole life and a portion of it in the East Village, I can say that this is not a lot of money for this apt. It’s adorable and if I had the chance to live here back in the Village, I would jump on it. Good job redecorating 🥰
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!
Exactly.
Your apartment is clean, neat, and adorable! You’ve made it your own and everything has its place! The inclusive price per month is phenomenal for NYC.
You are happy and appreciative with what you have and anyone commenting negatively is only because they’re the opposite of you ... they’re miserable!
Ps: I love the fact that you are a barber! And very jealous of your hair 🤣
It's a great space, it's clean, tidy, and most of all, home.
I think you have done a great job creating your space to fit your needs.
Thanks so much for sharing your home with us. I love how well thought out everything is and you’ve really made it a home. The video was super interesting and you are just adorable. This is the first video of yours that I’ve watched but I will definitely be checking out your other videos.
Home is where you make it. Your apartment is great! Your ability to be happy without a lot of stuff is fantastic, and many people could learn great lessons from you. Enjoy your life and ignore the critics! Happy New Yorking!!
Dawn Smith, That place would be to tiny for my big German Shepherd!!!!! Not that I would ever let him live in something so dam small. It's a casket!!!!!
I've lived in so many small spaces. My favorite trick is to put a cutting board over the sink. I use it for expand the counter space and I put a dish pan on it to do dishes. I got a collapsible dish pan in the rv section at Walmart. I love your space!
He can store a folding chair for his guest under the bed. Also sell the "horder " items because someone else might really be interested in that. You can buy it back on eBay once you move to a larger apartment.
I love watching tiny home videos. I think it's amazing how people can pack all of the essentials into a tiny home and still make it cozy and comfortable. You've done a really nice job here! And based on some of the tiny NYC apartment videos I've seen, your rent price does seem like a good deal!
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.
You are adorable. Love what you did with your space and love your attitude ❤.
. I too live in a small apartment (105 sq. feet) and after watching your vlogs, I got inspired in redecorating my space... and I love you new cooking desk..
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! 👍
I think you did a great job with your space. You could add a textured comforter with color, art piece on the wall with more color by your table and a cute rug to really set the space off. Decorating small spaces is so much fun. Home is about your peace of mind and comfort.
A good lesson to learn: appreciate what you have at the moment! He is not homeless, he has food, water, health, he is young and positive! So many people complaining, and they have so much, and they don't appreciate anything at all!Good luck to you and God bless!
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 🌹
Sending you love peace and light
YOU SAID IT WELL, Psyche Inc.
@@lizpedano1542 Dear Luz (Elizabeth) love and light winging it's way back to you. Wishing you and your family a safe, healthy and happy festive season. Blessings always, and thank you. Psyche 🌹
@@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 🌹
@@psycheinc-theSLC how can you say that 1100.00 a month is SIMPLICITY......ITS A PRISON!!!
Thank you for welcoming us to your home!! Very nice and organized!!
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!
"The more stuff you have, the more that stuff has you!" Best way of putting that I've ever heard.
Something lower classes say
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. 😊
You are adorable! It was wonderful seeing you explain your apartment with such jubilee. Thanks for sharing. :)
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.
So happy to hear that NYC is still affordable to people. Thanks, you made my day.
You've done a great job on it and that's huge in such a small space! It has everything you need and it's your HOME! Kudos to you for everything!
I love his humble little home and he’s dressed so well what a cutie ☺️
Home is where the heart is honey!! It's your home and there's nothing wrong with that!! ♥️
This is one of the nicest van conversions I’ve seen! Stay safe out there!
You look so dapper! Love the update. You’ve done so much with your small space. It might not work for everyone, but it clearly works for you.
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
Keep going, kid. You're a fighter. Nothing can get you down. You are an inspiration for us all.
Kudos to you for keeping such a tiny space so minimal and tidy. I live in a 15 sqm space and even though I'm a minimalist, sometimes things get a little busy and cluttered. You're a pro at this.
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...😁...
I'm glad to see the hallways and bathrooms look very clean, your apartment has a heart and soul. Loved the tour. ❤️
First time finding you today but love your channel! You are so amazing!! ThNk you for all you do and I support you!
This guy is guaranteed to be successful because he appreciates what he has so much.
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
It does not matter what other people thinks. If it is your home, then only that matters. I had a tiny apartment of 100 square feet in Mexico with my husband and now I have a tiny 350 square feet apartment in India where I am living alone (it may seem bigger than 100 square feet apartment, but in reality much more cheaper than that). As a journalist I have to shift my bases according to my job requirements. Your tiny apartment gave me a feel of my previous home at Mexico. People always try to judge me but I never pay any attention to them. So you are right too not to give attention to them.
Hope you are okay Lopa.

What a great use of space! It’s comfortable, welcoming, and well thought out. Thanks for sharing your home with us. 😊
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. ❤
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
Small but very cozy apartment, it is well organized looks super neat, great job!
What a way to use the space in the tiny apartment! It looks very cozy and comfortable!!
O my gosh...you're so cute and your apt is just right for you.
Good luck with everything!
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!
Dude, this is so cool. Mad respect. Wish I had an apartment just like it, honestly! :)
I think your spices can go in the refrigerator. The refrig could also act as storage for kitchen utensils and maybe other things. I noticed you didnt lock your door when you went so either it locks automatically or you feel very safe. Congratulations on making this homey and comfortable. I would have to have a porta potty for the night. I like the large window. I also like your suit and vest, that is very nice. Happy New Year to you for 2023.
His cheerful optimism in the face of this really small living space is inspiring
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.❤
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. 🙂🧡
Dude, you do you and don't be ashamed. I know many seniors that busted their ass their entire life only to travel around in an environment similar in size. At least you aren't living on the streets and have a warm dry place to call 'Home'. Best of luck in reaching your goals. Unlike most, you've discovered that you don't need 'stuff' to get there.
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
🙏🌟🙏
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
I have watched many, many Tiny House vids, but I must say, I have
never watched one such as yours, which gave me such joy! I didn’t
want it to end! You exuded humbleness, happiness and contentment and love with what
you have. I love how you have made your space work for you.
Well done 👏🏾
The description I would say is ‘Tiny Cottage Apartment’.
I enjoyed your video and seeing your apartment. It’s takes a lot to be clutter free and creative. I admire that freedom you have. I’m in a 650 sq ft and it’s full of stuff.
I LOVE small spaces! Compared to “van life” (or being a digital nomad) you are in a palace. What you have done with every inch of the space is brilliant. You should be proud. Blessings! 🙏
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.
