NYC is one of the very few places in the US with a walkable environment where you dont need a car. The prices are ridiculous for a few reasons, but keep in mind that this guy doesn't need to pay for a car which most people in the states would need.

Shame….it's awful that this is the state of living in NYC which is in a first world country!

Cool beans. Was I an American I wouldn’t be against living in such place in New York.

they should honestly produce one every single day for daily motivation.

Solitary confinement from prison is roomier than that!!

Great job Alex!

That is a prison

This is not an apartment, lol

Let's stop this immediatly! Words have meaning and this one – apartament – should not be changed. Apartament has a kitchen and a bathroom! Full Stop!

As George Carlin once said corporations start changing words and their meaning to make us swallow certain things easier. You can call home to this room. It is a wonderful room, well decorated but it's a ROOM not an apartment.

This video makes me so grateful and blessed I moved to Florida when I did 😅

Soooo he still have roommates lol sharing a bathroom with all them people daily would annoy me….it’s weird how people who pays a lot for rent have phrases to justify living in these small tiny places….

Right on! Being happy with what we have and not collecting a bunch of stuff we don’t need is something we should all learn to do.

Honestly this guy might get a bit more space and better amenities if he got himself arrested. Cheaper rent too.

this is sad AF XD

I would be 100% content with that and I'm 32! Smart guy! love the apartment! and love the price!

I can see this working for a single person but that's it. Not even an additional goldfish.

I think my college dorm rooms were larger than this.

Count your blessings frfr

It's like living in a comfortable jail!

The building owners probably are breaking all kinds of codes, as well during a fire, they will all roast to death. I lived in a place like that, too, and knew this for fact..

He had me saying wow he just lives a free beautiful life until he mentioned the rodent problem and the solution was the cat and then he was touching that cat in his mouth on his bed 😂#realtalk

If you're happy, that's all that matters. Looks equivalent to living/sleeping in a 6'x16' long camper. Bet there is always some form of entertainment the instant you walk outdoors.

No disrespect but this is very dystopian.

Just worried about him saying he cuts hair in his apartment. NYC will figure out how to get money from him. I lived in a room about the same size, no windows but I had a bathroom. My subway ride was an hour to get to lower Manhattan.$750/month

Glad he likes it! I personally don't miss my dorm room 🙂

Oh lord and I thought my 550sft 1bedroom for $2200 in Napa was lot!😂

The shared bathroom is a deal breaker for me. I commend his willingness to live on such a small scale.

why not just turn the bed 90 degrees?

Good for him and glad he seems happy but that price is not ok for that small space. It's like a dorm room with all the shared space. And mice?? Maybe it's a New York thing but it doesn't seem worth it to me. Too small, no amenities, lack of personal bathroom .

Good comprehensive video. The no bathroom would be a deal breaker for me even if it was free, but I guess at your age and being a creative it's fine. Just hope you're saving like crazy.

That's the janitors room

This is not right. People should just abandon new York city at this point. You are paying too much for a small space.

Mrs Sonia is legit and her method works like magic I keep on earning every single week with her new strategy..

its weird how happy young people are by living in a shoe box place idk the logic

It's a hostel. Hardly an apartment. As a hostel, it's fair enough considering the location.

Alex did a great job furnishing his apartment. I love to see videos of young people making a go at it in New York City. Kudos to Alex!
