Man, how times change. 20 years ago this was considered a flophouse, now it’s a ‘micro apartment.” The landlord in no way made this safe for a resident. Lady, the best thing about your place is your positivity and your inner light. Stay blessed. That landlord is a skumbagg

She can take that crazy amount of 340$ a month and put it towards living in an apartment that doesn’t have water coming out of the ceiling…the ceiling looks like it’s it’s about to cave in from that water damage… yikes

[userworldwide]

The 2nd room's definitely worth the price. I personally prefer a room with window for better ventilation + it looks brighter!

The water spot above the bed made me uneasy. That shit bout ta burst any day now. That needs to be taken care of asap.

The guys apartment was so much better & more spacious. The girls apartment honestly just seemed like a claustrophobic nightmare that was falling apart. She needs to get her ceiling looked at asap, that's very concerning and not quirky or cute but worrisome. Also, I feel bad for the dogs. I feel like she would've been better off in her high-rise but if she can tolerate living there, that's all that matters.

As a Native New Yorker, I think $650 is a good deal, but a dripping ceiling is where I draw the line.😳

Love the second apartment--perfect example of how natural light (in this case southern exposure) can transform a space into something light and bright and not claustrophobic. The tenant is also well organized, which helps, but he's not minimalist either--he has plenty of stuff, but everything has its place. And room for his adorable cat as well! Plus, the second apartment definitely has more headroom than 1-1/2 feet in the loft bedroom, which helps. If NYC is where you want to be, and especially if you are young and not burdened with too many possessions, I could see the second apartment working nicely for people for a few years. The rent is manageable, and that counts for a lot. Thanks for sharing these with us!

He could expand the room out the window using galvanized square steel, screws borrowed from his aunt, and eco friendly wood cover veneers.

The second appartment was so light and cozy, it was amazing!
The first one sadly just felt super cramped and if I were her, I think I would go for a slightly better appartment and get a cheaper gym membership

[cammiluna]

As a native new yorker whose hard work amounted to nothing, I love how transplants are get absolutely ecstatic about living in rotting old walk-in closets with broken fixtures just because it's in New York city

[KippinCollars]

I feel bad for the dog having to live in such a small space.

[aeoligarlic]

The way it doesn't have a window to look outside is what makes the room extra suffocating. I hope you can move into a better space one day 😢

[atabekce]

Honestly, the girls apartment was a little small, especially the sleeping area. But, the guys apartment for that price is awesome. That’s plenty of room for just one person

[TheRealLilAllen]

Is anyone gonna talk abt why her gym membership is $340?!?!?

[potatoheadpokemario]

Seeing the contrast between the guy's apartment and the girl's apartment makes me think, how can she live that way? At least the guy managed to utilize his space, and he has a window. The girl has to live in a cluttered apartment with no windows and a leaking ceiling.

[chrisduckz]

The bed and the dripping ceiling literally gave me anxiety. It would feel like it was about to fall in on me. And that poor dog being trapped in there.

[v__RZR__v]

Honestly I'd get really claustrophobic when lying in her bed. The bed space of the neighbor was definitely a bit less scary for me 😂

[jnr-k]

This is so wild to me, here in the UK I pay £595 a month, so around 770 dollar maybe, for a 3 bedroom house, huge rooms and garden in a very nice area! It's mind blowing that people are being charged this much for what's effectively the size of a prison cell!

[ninja_tony]

Aside from the leaking ceiling, which definitely needs to be dealt with, I could totally handle the first apartment for a little while. But the second one - the guy's apartment - was legitimately nice, and I could easily see myself staying somewhere like that for the foreseeable future, especially if it's in a convenient neighborhood.

[teejay]

man, they really choose this lifestyle to get validation that "cool, you live in NYC!". i live in manila but yet my house is modern minimalist and this nyc apartment is just the size of our laundry room.
