    New York will never cease to amaze me. The first apartment is literally a basic apartment. Nothing fancy or luxurious about it and it’s $6k a month. I can’t believe people pay these prices to live in an overcrowded, rat infested city.
    Nevertheless, I can’t get enough of these videos and love when cash and Charles get together! 😂

    The 2 shower rods are there so that one is for a shower curtain liner & then one for the decorative curtain. So if you have a crazy expensive curtain- the liner keeps the water in & protects the main curtain.❤

    • @femmebrulee5053
      @femmebrulee5053 Рік тому +4

      ​@@kathyflorcruz552 It depends on what type of hanging/connectors are at the top of the curtains. I have several decorative shower curtains which are hung through a pocket at the top of the curtain which requires sliding the curtain onto the rod. If you have those types of shower curtains you cannot use a shower liner that is hung with hooks on the same rod. You have to use a different rod.

      It would cost a similar price regardless because the square footage would be the same, just utilized differently. Multiple bedrooms means that families with children can live there, or that it could be a roommate situation. So that means everyone pays less money per month to live in a great part of NYC. The Village is safe, clean(for a city), convenient, and there's plenty to do. If I ever lost my mind and moved to the States, and found myself in NYC, and making a decent salary, and if the idea of living with roommates didn't make me want to vomit, I'd be signing on the dotted line ASAP.

Anyway, Bad Boys NYC Apartment Rentals Realty is back today with a new episode!

    The bedroom with the ensuite in the first apartment is really small, but I'd take it over the other two. The second apartment? $4,400 for a studio is pricey, even if it does have a new toilet seat. ;-) The third one? It has clean windows, so that may explain the price. Although the last one obviously used to be a studio, I like it the best. For all of these, you pay double the value for the address.

    I just have to say that just because the kitchen cabinets don't go all the way up does not make them better than those that do for shorter people. If you can't reach higher than the top shelf in full-height cabinets, then don't put anything on the top shelf and avoid having that open space above that gets all dusty with spider webs and roach and mice droppings that nobody ever cleans. You can always put stuff on the that top shelf that you don't use often.

    Cash you should come and do this in Miami… yo would encounter amazing pricey apts in lots of areas, so much to choose from, and your wife and kids would love the areas. Investment would be a car , an SUV family car and you could afford a nice house out west! Look into it! You would be very successful!

    We had an apartment in the LowerEastSide in the sixties and the bathtub was in the kitchen and you put a big board on it to convert it to a table.

    I would take the dark bedroom, not all the windows bedroom. Bedrooms are for sleeping - no sunshine for me! Also, you need (2) shower rods - curtains & liner. You guys work well together - love it!

    This channel reminds me why I left NYC, having lived in Manhattan for 6 years under Bloomberg. For $6750 I can pay my rent here in Portland Maine for 6 months and have money left over. I'm so happy I'm not constantly poor anymore. I miss the food of NYC, though a lot of my fave stores are gone, but it would be nice to visit the Metropolitan sometimes, but its nice having money, having that money go far, having a car, having savings, things, etc.
