- LIVING in INSIDE the SMALLEST Apartment in NYC for 24 Hours! Well we have found it! In this Mr. Beast style 24 hour challenge video I attempt to live in the smallest of of all the micro NYC apartments, minimalist New York studio apartments, and tiny NYC apartments. This studio is officially the smallest apartment in ALL of New York City...with just 60 ft.² of usable living space in this micro studio apartment!

Could you live in a 60 ft.² Micro Studio apartment!? Check out Cash Jordan's VLOG: ua-cam.com/video/H-cEj3cuClA/v-deo.html
Was waiting for it since your story
yep but it would be a struggle lol
Great vid
Annnnnnnnnnd ur a douche
It would be rough but I think I could do it if the rent is priced at a fair amount.
$1,095 is still way too much for this place, even in NYC. It's a glorified jail cell.
damn with a few months of that you could buy a house in many countries
Yeah for sure! I know rent is expensive up in NYC but there’s no damn way! I will stay in Nashville lol
$1095/mo in Nepal can get you a full furnished 3 storey house with a garden and I'm not even kidding
2000 € will get you a nice 3 bd aparment in Prague near the city center
It should be $600
There is no way I'd pay 1000 a month and not have a bathroom. That's just nuts.
Welcome to NYC 😂 sucks!
For 1300 a month, I get a four-bedroom house, two master bedrooms with personal bathrooms, two car garage, two car driveway, and a massive front and back yard because I'm on the corner lot. Florida really is different. Don't miss living in New York/New Jersey.
well you pay more per month for college dorm rooms, basically the same with no personal bathroom, and you may not even have your own room for that price
There’s a sink in the room
@@bobmob9962 I consider that a bathroom as well, people aren't thinking outside the box.
I feel like Cash really screwed him over with the stuff he supplied lmao
right! no salt LOL
True that. I am wondering what kind of Paleo diet, Cash is on 😂😂
Cash is such a savage lol
Well was it in the deal that cash HAD to supply him with everything. Or was Eric supposed to make sure he brought stuff with him? I would of made sure I had everything I needed for 24hrs. Books.things to cook/cook on. Shampoo/conditioner.
The challenge was he had to live in it so I would of made sure I had everything I needed to live entertain myself!
Cried when he had no pan to cook with!!
Just get arrested and you'll have a bigger place with 3 meals a day, a personal gym, a roommate that care about you and it's free!
Looool
🤣🤣🤣🤣
😭😭🥲
All u gotta do is not drop that soap
true
Sooo, it's not actually the space that is unbearable, it was the lack of services and comforts. If you had a fan +tv+internet+a small table+chair under the bunk bed and a mattress on top of it so you could sleep properly +spices (lol) it would be fine. No different to tiny hotel rooms when backpacking or uni rooms when studying.
Yeah honestly, If I had good internet and my pc set up id be perfectly fine there.
True, minus that usually hotel rooms have their own full baths of course. U don't need to leave the room to use the bathrooms.
And air conditioning.
Wah wah wah I find it amazing that he says he's travelled and rouged it out but yet still complains about a small apartment. Really dude!
I lived in a shared bathroom uni accommodation and it was basically the same
I could easily live there. But I never would, because 1k grand rent is beyond stupidity.
It's like living in San Francisco California.
I would love to see this fully furnished/functional and decorated.
me, too. It would definitely work. I think the rent is a bit much, though
Ikr
im curious
In my opinion, you could create the bad on the upper part of the white furniture, add a desk under the white furniture and a chair… it would work and you would have a lot of light over the desk
$1,095 USD not including wifi, cable or anything. Absolutely ridiculous man, there's just no way. Id even go as far as saying renting that place to someone is inhumane.
Inhumane I agree!
It was only for 24 hours. Not like he was spending at least a month there. If he had to do that. I would say that it would have had some more furnishings. Like a small table with storage to put things. A cloth mattress. As well as maybe even a love seat to go under the loft bed.
Dude, if he doesn’t give you internet with a desk or table that doesn’t count lol… a lot of people can survive easily if they had internet and a table
Thats true. I can just lay in bed all day watching UA-cam videos.
It,s not ideal but with a few home comforts it,s doable... but still expensive for that tiny space...
Yea it’s about the same size as my current bedroom and I spend most of my time in here anyway so I could easily stay 24 hours there. Also has more natural light than my bedroom lol.
Even a small fold out TV tray like table would work. He keeps saying "where would a table go". And I'm over here like, for someone who's lived in small spaces, you should be better at envisioning a space like this.
Ikr, being a person that sits on a chair on my phone all day, with good internet and enough sockets to charge all the electronics it would be a bomb.
I feel like I could make this place look super cute and cozy. I want to see someone do a challenge of decorating it to make it livable. I would happily volunteer to do that and spend the day in it!
yes! great idea
I agree! I would love to see it decorated and with furniture! Even a small tv table and a mattress would do wonders for the space
Stop reading my mind! Always thought Cash should get some budding interior designers come up with a great apartment plan (from the smallest to the largest).
Yeah that was my problem with the video. Sure it's small as hell, but there's supposed to be a desk under the bunk bed, so you'd have somewhere to sit. Get a window unit and you'd be not sweltering. A twin mattress so you can sleep on the bunk instead of dangerously climbing to the loft. They did this on super hard mode when it could have just been a mediocre experience with some preparation.
The people in this thread are mentally ill, wtf...
Had a blast making this one!!
The question is Cash...did you give him a mattress with a hole in it on purpose?...Genius if you did :)
This was fun to watch. Not giving him any soap in that hot jail cell of an apt was funny. Im surprised he went back. What a trooper!
Ha Cash!!!
Was it a 24 hours in smallest apartment challenge or 24 hours in prison challenge??
Why didn’t you leave any seasoning lol 🤣🤣🤣
I don’t think it was a fair challenge. If you lived there you would had it set up. Maybe an instapot and a futon under the bed. You could have TV trays to eat on and at least a fan
Getting to your sleeping area in the loft is a potentially fatal experience.
Imagine if you had been out drinking lol
Haha so true
Falling asleep is a potential fatal experience! Imagine rolling over the wrong way
Bunk beds were cool when I was 9, but as an adult, I don’t want to have to climb up to bed every night!
That is why there is that bedframe.
Also one could modify that with a wood or wire frame on the edge of either the bed or the loft for safety reasons.
PSA: This is more like a dorm room lol 😂 you don’t have to ever live like this in NYC . There’s literally 4 other boroughs in NYC ,where you can find apartments for the same price or less and normal space!
I know you’re right, I’m a New Yorker. But what I think is that when a lot of New Yorkers say they want to live in New York, in the city, the mean only Manhattan. It shouldn’t be like that but it is.
That's true and I mean $1,000 that's a lot of money to live in that very small space I mean if it had a mini air conditioner and some furniture and cable television to watch you could probably may make it work well being out of it most of the day but to say trapped in there for 24 hours a day that would never work and again a thousand dollars for 60 square feet is ridiculous when you can't go to four other boroughs
@@AdrienneMint replace New Yorkers with transplants
@@flighted2513 Lol, so basically the entire existence of New York City? It's always been a city of immigrants and transplants.
You could also get a few roommates
I’d seriously be afraid of falling out of that “loft”. Yikes!
Yo Cash did you dirty lol. No soap or seasonings!! 😂
No seasoning I'm dead.
No BED!!
@@naruchancutie1 I mean he did give him a bed how is Cash supposed to know that it had a hole
@@two-face1041 because he put it there
I honestly wouldn’t mind living in a such small apartment but the fact that you have to share bathrooms is a huge no for me, i could never
And suddenly I appreciate my apartment much more - well done 🤘🏻😂
Hahah same
Same. I can't do a shared bathroom and shower. I might be able to handle not having a stove but I'm not a fan of microwaving everything which means I'd be eating out ALL THE TIME.
I can’t believe this is legal. Furthermore I can’t believe anyone would voluntarily live here. One could simply go to another borough and find a place with more space for similar prices.
That's what I was thinking in terms of legality. Don't they legally have to provide you with your own bathroom and appliances (in addition to the microwave and refrigerator)? Maybe it's different in New York? I don't know, but I definitely think this would be illegal.
People live here for convenience and opportunity. I don’t understand why that’s so hard for people to understand.
@@djosephine I am not saying someone should live in the outskirts of New York. I’m saying live in another borough that’s maybe a 20-30 ride away. I think that’s a better option than paying an arm and a leg to live in a shoebox.
@@djosephine yes it’s a trade off. What you save in rent money would go towards transportation. I would assume most people would want to be comfortable in their home. I don’t see how you’re comfortable living in a place like this. Also there is also no way you’re telling me you’d live in this place for a considerable amount of time. I think people are just so obsessed with living in Manhattan that they put themselves through unnecessary problems.
@@djosephine my point is they can. My understanding is that this apartment is still pricey, which is why I say find another borough where you’ll get more bang for your buck.
When things go back to normal, please do more tours of houses outside America. Would be fun to watch 🙏
Back to normal? With Democrats in charge??😂😂😂😂😂
I used to watch your videos from 2015 in the small apartment, and loved them. Your life, you inspiration to succeed, your desires to be better! You have come a long way!
I enjoyed watching this video. Gives you a different perspective of how people live in tiny apartments . Thanks to your mom and dad for looking out for Theo.🌷🐶
I feel like you should have been given $500 and 2 hours at a Walmart superstore as if you'd just arrived in NYC and need to get the apartment setup for the first night. Said the same basic thing on Cash's video
Glad you addressed where's Theo!
I would love to see the video redone like that
Yes! They should do this. That would make more sense. Living in NY, you'd be out there most of the time (you're paying for location afterall), so this experiment didn't make much sense. I would like to see them make it work
Imagine having to stay in that apartment for the whole covid lockdown 😵💫
Oh no!!!
I would of probably offed myself tbh because dear god no.
Moms everywhere are like “please, let me live alone in that apartment for 24 hours” 😂😂
Seeing your parents together with Theo is just so special! I still remember an old video of yours where your parents saw each other again smth like 15 years after their divorce. I'm happy that they're getting along. Also, Theo is just the cutest!
I had a room (cell, we called it) in the convent where I lived that was smaller than that room. Yes, I could live in a space like that. It would have been a creative endeavor and I would need a/c, but I could have done it when I was younger. Thanks for following the adventure to the end of the day.
How nice to see your parents. That's really sweet. Equally as nice is to see you call Cash your good friend.
Axel webber now lives in it
I'm here because I've always been curious about small apartments in New York. It's been a dream of mine to visit there. A handful of years ago I had a place on 10 acres and I can't imagine even standing in this room. As others have suggested, though, I think it would be a lot more comfortable having a desk and seating underneath the bunk, an arrangement well thought-out for small spaces.
You and Cash make a great Vlog duo! Hope to see more vids from you both!
Seeing videos like this makes me appreciate everything I have so so much more positive vibes
This apartment, if it wasn't so damn expensive, could feel spacious with ergonomic furniture like tables you can slide or flip on the wall and a few bed arrangements here and there (lose the loft bed) tbh
...How the heck is a glorified walk-in closet supposed to suddenly feel spacious with smart furniture? It's already cramped enough to make a claustrophobe beeline it out the window while entirely empty.
@@markkoetsier6475 it's the "Make do with what you have" mindset. It's just a bedroom that needs less to look more and right placement of furniture to do so if you're living in NY
You could add pull-down furniture, like a table, bed, or tv against the wall opposite the fridge to save up some space and still have a place to eat.
Too 2 much fun! Entertaining and mind opening...Thanks!
OMG, I would love to experience this for a day. This looks challenging but cool. Good morning to the NYC Rat. Truly captured the essence of the city.
This is Axel’s apartment isn’t it?
I’m convinced this is where Axel Webber lives now
You are the bomb Erik. Ppl can definitely make it if they want to. I move to NYC from another country n I'm still here.
The first video I watched of yours was when you had Christmas in the micro apartment, seeing you grow as a creator has been probably one of my favorite youtuber journey through the years :)
This has me laughing. I lived in a 150 sqft apartment for a year now (I just moved but pay twice as much rent now and 540sqft). It was fine. Quarantine in it was sometimes stressfull and tiny, especially because I had online classes and therefore never left the apartment. But honestly: You can live like this. The reason I mived is that I want two cats (I am picking them probably tomorrow up! A dream coming true!!)
You gotta stay organized, but it‘s fine. I even had a bathroom in it that was like a airplane restroom lol and I kept a second matraze and foldable bed for visitors. My apartment was one giant bed if I built that up but who cares! I made everything work!! I even kept 21 plants and some gardening stuff in it. I also was streaming on twitch. Of course it didn’t look spacious but everyone who visited me loved my apartment and the way I organized it!!
Edit: I payed 460€ a month for that place and now I live in the building next door and pay 858€ a month. In case anyone was curious
Love the variety of content on this channel!
And the kicker... the Purple Mattress commercial at the end. Cash really did a poor job setting you up with what you needed!! LOL You're a good sport, Man.
As someone who's 5'2" this would be significantly easier. My dorm in LA was around the same size. And I needed a massive drafting desk as an architecture student
I agree. Someone who is 6’3” is not going to do well there- but it’s still ridiculous for that size space & no bathroom. Some people are desperate to live in Manhattan. Get over it. Move to Queens.
This place is smaller than my single at college. I'm pretty sure my dorm was nicer. The chicken with no seasoning or utensils, hehe. This was a great video. Love the collaboration between Erik and Cash.
This is perfect! Great video!
That was awesome. Love your vlog Eric. Greetings from Poland
60ft^2 isn't too bad, especially for just one person. In terms of livable space, it's bigger than my first college dorm which was a triple-loft. The big issues with living here would be the small shared bathroom spaces, neighbors, climate, and that terribly depressing view.
Hahaha 🤣 I bet that challenge made you feel very grateful for the way things are now. I lived in a tiny apartment in Sydney. I can relate. Small apartment is the only way if you want to live by your self. I live in a very good place now. In Australia we call it doing the hard yard's.
And imagine living here in a pandemic
@@miriamstrauss that would be so hard. I feel for the people that had to
I enjoyed this video very much. My husband and I live very happily in our 20’ x 7’ travel trailer for months at a time. Mind you, it has a queen size comfy mattress, a 2 burner stove, a sink sprayer, and a bathroom with a medicine chest. Also, we have a nice suburban 1600sq’ house with all our belongings.
glad to see u folks are friends :) ... i watch both of u and love looking at the stuff with u both and live in a forest remotely tucked away im the hills/mountains of northern ca :) and never been anywhere
In a lot of developed countries this couldn't even be legally rented out as a residence due to the lack of amenities... ridiculous. People think this type of "challenge" is cool, but the reality is this rental market is just disgusting exploitation of the working class for a basic necessity.
It's only "cool" for people like Erick that can go back to his Soho loft after. For the underpaid working class it's a reality for many. This shouldn't be legal, but people will say "Oh but it's NY."
You're not wrong. Just like when Gwenyth Paltrow did the "food stamp challenge" when she used $20 to buy food for the week and literally all she bought was vegetables. That's not a challenge. That is a real struggle that MILLIONS of people have to go through.
Cash did our man Erik dirty with the food. Lol. Next apartment experience should be Cash staying at the apartment and Erik supplying Cash with Dunkin and Folgers coffees.
I'ld rather make thousands of dollars per week investing in the cryptocurrency market with the help of a seasoned analyst It has been my best source of income for the past few months easiest and stress free way to make passive income online
Man, I remember watching the early videos. I even looked forward to seeing you wake up to watch the sun come up. In a non creepy way lol. Nice to see that all that hard work had paid off.
Thanks for the perspective! And to know you did this at one point in your life 🤯
There's a fellow with several videos on UA-cam who lives in a similar room, only he does not have a sink or a refrigerator as big as yours. He also has two small dogs. So it can be done, though you'd have to be truly desperate to do it. Since for about the same money you can get an actual studio in another borough that's just a subway ride away, I'd forgo the "location" benefits.
Lmaoo Cash did you dirty no soap, no seasoning for your chicken just vibes 😂😂😂
No Pan to Cook it in! That was mean. lolol
I’m already redecorating in my head. Curtains for the window, bolting the tv to the wall of the top bunk, portable air conditioner/heater, the fridge under the bunk bed (not on the ladder side), work desk opposite it, setting up kitchen space next to the fridge with electric stove etc, theres already shelves for ingredients/spices, if I could move the sink to the kitchen row I would too as long as it’s not blocking the closet.
Erik! Please tour some homes in Greenwich CT! I'm sure yer aware how bangin those homes are! Love this freaking channel so much.
I wouldn't be able to live in that micro apartment as well. I don't blame you. I also couldn't take the noise. I like my quiet time.
This looks like Alex Webber’s apt. ♥️
It is, but his name is Axel* not Alex
I’ve been a viewer since 2015 and I think this is your best video yet. I laughed the whole way through.
I’ve been waiting for this one!
It reminds of the corporate apartments my former company used set us up in for about a month, we’d barely spend any time in there cause we’d be working and out to business lunches and dinners. We’d just be there to sleep
I bet people that have lived in some of Japan's micro apt , could make it seems like a 600 Sq ft living space. I'd love to see someone live in a space like this and have some awesome transformative furniture
I don't know how anyone could live like that .Thanks for the Challenge your new place is Gorgeous. Cash is awesome to watch on his channel he fell short on your supply .
YOUR PARENTS SEEM AMAZING YOU ARE BLESSED
@Pinned by Erik Conover no thanks
Cash really went out of his way to ensure you fail eh? Hole in the air mattress, no spices or utensils, no body wash, Not even a damn book or fan?
Hahaha 😄😄
"...after a decade as a 31-year-old man..." tell us, what's your secret!!?? 😁😁
@Victor Harris corporate vampires are a real thing....lol
Spent a long time looking for this comment! Thank you!!
So many people live in those apartments 😞And you know what is that! Erik, kudos for this experiment! You always show a positive attitude!🍀
Hi Erik and Theo!!! 🥰🥰🥰 Sending you lots of love and hugs all the way from Malayisa🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗
We need more of these 24hours challenge videos 🤘🏼
Agreed 👍🏻
Someone needs to get apartment redifined legally. That's a room. Apartment means live apart from anyone else, no bathroom means you can't do that, the end.
Haha tel that to New York City 😂 I agree with you though
@@miriamstrauss we've got them in London too, drives me nuts!!
@@yverose8355 so crazy!
They do it because there are droves of idiots paying to live in places like this. You can't make people who have no standards, magically get them.
It's a supply and demand issue. Cities like NYC and London, and many others have unfortunately blinded a lot of people into believing that they're the only places you can find work and feel fulfilled. For many, the lesson is learned the hard way.
you make a legit point
Great video, very interesting to watch! I understand why is it was hard for you to stay there😛 That place is as you said, like a prison cell! Keep up the good work with the videos👍👌
i love the NYC tours
I was so low on money in London that I was searching cheap accommodations, I like tiny spaces so I was looking for something small. I found this room that has this trapezoidal shape, almost like a triangle, it had only a bed and a small desk in it. When I went to see it, I just couldn’t believe how small it was and that someone would live there. My family’s tool shed was larger than that. On other level there were the shared bathroom and kitchen with other housemates and I should couldn’t do that. The room was like 300£ but if you search more you’d find something around 400-450£ that would’ve made you feel that you’re living in a palace compared to that. I’ve tried to lower the price with the guy but he wasn’t having it, he was really adamant with the 300£. I was like damn. Okay. Got my second job and found something better.
Bless you ! London is ridiculously expensive and I'm glad you didn't settle for such a tiny space x
Definetly need a video about renting laws in NY. What is a requirement for living space????
More of these challenges! 😃😃
no i can leave to this studio, too much small..but for student and new people to this city it's ok....you courageous man, bravo!
It’s bearable because you’ll be outside most of the day. But what if you get sick for example?
Or what if the next global pandemic hits 😂
If you're sick, you sleep and dream about being in another place. Easy!
@@miriamstrauss Gosh, I hadn't even thought of that!! Just imagine being quarantined in that tiny place, omg!
@@arielgrushka Exactlyyyy.... In fairness I only thought of it because I'm from NYC and I left towards the end of 2020 because the pandemic made me realize that NYC wasn't worth the lackluster living conditions when there was a whole wide world of air and grass and trees and space out there!
I would have seriously lost my mind during lockdown… especially working from home.
Imagine living there during quarantine.
Alhamdullilah (All praise and thanks are due to God) we are blessed
Let’s go! Can’t wait to watch this
Window unit a/c, mattress on the loft bed, desk and chair under it, plus maybe a folding butterfly chair or something comfy for lounging. A few more food items on wall shelves, internet, you'd be completely fine. It's basically a single dorm. (And they said it's near NYU.)
Damn man! I would have survived this place when I was 18 and hustling. Not now 😳
I totally could do this. I had so many ideas for that apartment. I kinda hope it’ll be available when I move (won’t be until September). 🤷🏽♀️ But I actually high key LOVE it???
That’s amazing! 🤩 I’m wondering though, wouldn’t it be cheaper/same price to live with roommates and split the bill, at least you’ll have a bigger bathroom? (Somewhere bigger of course 😆)
@@sKid-lp4di yeah but I don’t want to live with other people so to me, the price is doable if I don’t have to.
@@kaylachung12Just move out of NYC and you'll live comfortably.
Love this collaboration! Question??? Are the grey vest like the Master's green jacket for Realtors? Haha!
Awesome job erik
For that size, and what's available in the market now, this room won't get rented for a while. 1100 for that is ridiculous back then, let alone now. You can get a much better place with that money.
Well done, sleeping on hard wood. Let someone decorate that place and make a video about it. Would be so interesting and fun to watch.
I agree
Loved this 😀
I went to NYU from 2008 - 2012. I rented a small apartment, a bit bigger than this, and for some reason when we are in our teens nothing bothers us..lol. My apt. did have its own bathroom. I could live without a kitchen, but I refuse to share a toilet and shower. My parents hated how I was living and they wanted to rent me a bigger place, but I wanted to do it on my own. It was fun and did build strength of character, I think...lmao!!!
Crazy to think that this tiny room cost the same thing than the monthly payment for my house in eastern Canada :O
Investing make up the top notch hemisphere of the wealth. That's the more reason one should save and invest to secure profit and ensure success
That's true for most of the US as well. Never understood why so many young people flocked to overpriced coastal cities.
Funny thing is, these are the same people who complain life is too expensive and whatnot. They made poor choices by coming to cities they couldn't afford and then blame society for it. . .
1k for this place is a crime. I'd rather sleep outside than in this prison cell.
@Erik Conover FAKE
@@matthewrreis Repent Jesus Christ is coming back, Jesus loves you".
Thank you Erik
Eric is a trooper!!!!
Erik beat Jordan fo his bet! More seriously though, no one would spend an entire twenty four hours in that tiny SRO! It could do in a pinch but not for long term living, that’s for sure. Monastery cells in the Middle Ages were far more comfortable. That said, this was an interesting experiment in tiny apartment living!
wouldn't you like... fit a desk under a bed frame? xd I mean it looks like it was made for this exact purpose
I truly enjoyed watching this video! Something new and thank you for sharing you experience living in a micro studio apartment. But I will say no to this apartment, as well.
Watching your channel is a cool perspective of what is out there. Makes me realize why I stay in Michigan.
The rent is to damn high!
