Simple life Manhattan: a 90-square-foot microstudio
Вставка
- Опубліковано 6 жов 2010
- By choosing a studio that measures just 12 feet by 7 feet, Felice Cohen can afford to live in Manhattan's Upper West Side where apartments rent for an average of $3,600 per month.
She pays just over $700 for her 90-square-foot micro-studio. After a bit of adjustment, she now loves living smaller, simpler, and cozier.

YES!
LMFAO

This is the best UA-cam comment I’ve ever read.
Well said 😂
I cannot imagine being quarantined in this apartment.
Me neither, I was thinking that this is why NYers wont stay inside.
Lol!
Daniela Franco 9yrs later....let’s hope she moved out👍
Also without internet
Exactly I'm going insane just looking at this
I'm surprised she had her own bathroom! Usually places like this you have to share.
Agreed, using a communal bathroom & kitchen is a BIG no for me!!
WHAT
I THOUGHT THAT WAS ONLY FOR DORM SITUATION SMH
@@ratso69ful81 I could maybe handle a communal kitchen, but NOT a communal bathroom.
I was surprised she had a bathroom. A lot of NYC apts this size have shared facilities in the hall. So actually, this isn’t that bad, and she has the right attitude to make it work for her. The city is her “living room”.
The city is her “living room” lmao
Crazy that her bathroom is almost the same size as the rest of the apartment!
The size of the apartment wouldn’t bother me but the space between the bed and ceiling definitely would.
True. I can live in any small space but that's how you become claustrophobic
worse than a prison cell
This is how people in Navy ships sleep.
@@Bananapocalypse I didn’t need another reason not to join the Navy, but it can’t hurt I suppose 😂😘

"8 or 9 people hanging out"?! Hanging out where, hanging out the window?
Lmao that cracked me up

You can never really predict which random videos will have an awesome comment section. This is one of the best ones I've seen in a while
@1:40: The bathroom is pretty big.
5 seconds later: Be careful don't hit your knee on the wall when you take a shit.
Lmaoooo. It was comical
You can tell she is trying so hard to convince herself that this is a great idea
so right. and she didn't convince me she likes it. so sad and sloppy.
Yes. She was talking herself into it the whole time
It's human nature to rationalise their suffering
Or maybe she's just explaining how she rationalizes it because she understands that others would have issue with it.
Hahaha so true.
Smh. I don't know what's sadder; paying $700 for this space or the long list of people waiting to pay $700 for this space.
I wish i could pay 700 for my place, id love to have her apt
Jebus christ! I only 250 a month for my studio
Chronic Slayer yeah sure
Morrison64 exactly
you live in the middle of nowhere for sur lol
I actually like this apartment! She makes very good use of the space. Obviously this won’t work for everyone, but I admire the way she makes the most out of it!
I seriously don’t understand how living in the city could be that important to live in a house where you cannot cook
So many people are obsessed with the idea, your surrounded by a hole strangers in big cities
it's not the living in the city it's just people and city opportunities and New York is perfect for that
Or sit bolt upright in bed.
if i lived in new york i dont think i would cook
Some people work a lot and being a few minutes from work is more than worth it. People like to say taking a train to Manhattan from Queens or Brooklyn is 20 mins. It is not... I live 7 miles from lower Manhattan in Brooklyn and sometimes it takes me over 1.5 hours to get to work via train. By car it's no better either if there's traffic and you get stuck for an hour. If it takes me 1-1.5 hours to go each way for work that's almost 3 hours out of the day spent on commuting.
Harry Potter had more space living under those stairs

Sad but true 😂😂
lol
I could only imagine waking up in the middle of the night after a nightmare only to sit up and whack your head just to then realize you are truly living the nightmare.
Lol
Lol the best comment 😅
When she mentioned her panic attack I was like "well, yeah. You basically live in a closet"
LMFAO
🤣😂👍
I come here from time to time when I need to appreciate my Irish farmhouse more
You live in an Irish farmhouse? How could you not appreciate that you ungrateful hag? Those things are amazing.
That bathroom looks amazing. You actually have your own private bathroom and bathtub. That is a major bonus in a small space like that. I'm envious. Kudos! The way you organized the space really works.
“The great thing about NY is that you can do so many different things at once.”
Here in Florida, I can also do many things at once. Such as sit on the toilet *and* extend my leg.

She reminds me of Michael Scott talking about the condo he bought after he figured out his deposit was non refundable.....
Lmfaoooo
YES!
Lmaooooooo
Holy shit 😂
and dont forget how his plasma TV folds right in
Kirsten, you have such amazing content! This is definitely a live-able apt for NYC - every kind of cuisine is right outside your door, and central park is your backyard.
I want to meet u
So not long after this video went viral, this woman's landlord ended up seeing it and found out that she wasn't on the lease and promptly evicted her. After she left the landlord then doubled the rent on this place to $1200. Insane.
Is that true or are you just making things up?
@Duck Beanie They raised the rent to $1400, and it's probably more than that now. This video is 11 years old
To sublet without landlord's approval is not acceptable, if that was the case. She did a fantastic job utilizing the limited space. Good luck to her in her new place.
This reminds me of Michael Scott talking about his plasma screen tv. "Sometimes I'll just stand in front of it and watch tv for hours"
Thank you, I just died a bit from laughing and crying ! :))
Lmao this is the first thing come to my mind when she starts talking about her bed.
🤣🤣🤣🤣
🤣
"I love this tv!"
Wow landlords did a really good job of convincing hipsters that living in a closet is cool
And New York politicians did a great job trashing the real estate market in New York so that demand runs way ahead of supply, driving the cost of apartments to these skyhigh rates, thus encouraging the creation of such apartments in the private sector.
And useful idiots who wouldn't know a bad idea even if it punched them in the face with a stamp that says, "Bad Idea" elects these politicians and encourages them to make these bad policies.
Landlords did that or the economy?
Ha!
I think this is more about the price. Most people don’t even live in New York for a long time, they just there to have fun for a while
Hipsters = young people that want to live in the city ? If there were other options, people wouldn't choose to live in a closet... Trust me.
It was this video, and a few others on this channel that kickstarted my obsession with Tiny homes, and dwellings all those years ago. Despite my issues with this space, she makes it into a very cozy, humble abode. On a side note, the lives of artist, writers, and creatives in general, will always fascinate me.
Everyone’s face watching this video: ☹️
If my face were THAT close to the ceiling, I would FREAK.
Did you notice the indentations on the ceiling? It’s probably where she bumps her head.
@@californiadremn6682 Oh my goodness, I hadn’t even noticed!
"I love to sleep up here". Has a panic attack the first night.
conversiamo1 I SCREAMED 😂
conversiamo1 lmaooooo this comment made me laugh really hard
I used to sleep in a bunk bed in college that was up against the ceiling. I hated it. Especially if you cough or choke at night, you can't even sit up. It's a nightmare. Like sleeping in a coffin.
conversiamo1 LOL
Todd Farkman that’s what I was thinking, I have acid reflux and sometimes I’ll wake up choking and it makes me jump out of bed. I’d put my head through the ceiling if it happened to me in that bed

That's a woman, not a girl.
I feel like if this was like $200-$300 a month, I’d be way more than happy to live there
It’s probably close to $1,000.
In Manhattan? Probably more than $1,000. Maybe pushing $2k
It says in the description just over 700$
@@louisperron6506 but this video is also 10 years old. It seems about right for an apartment of that size in Manhattan around that time.
@@Mr.Plant1994 It's probably close to 1600 now
I was obsessed!!! With this video when I was like 9 years old back in 2013 and still obsessed. She was so ahead of the time
This must’ve been horrible to live here during quarantine.
I was thinking the exact same thing 😓
@@seattlerain4809 good for her 😊
Can you link the video please? Seattle

And the wonderful scent of a New York, urine soaked alley comes rushing in to make things even more pleasant as she squints to try and find a leaf somewhere in between all the brick walls.
New York is so overrated not worth the hassle
No
I thought my 200 sq ft apartment was small but after living here a year I’m actually more used to it than I thought I would be. At this point literally my only reason I want to move to a bigger place is so my cat has more space since she has to stay indoors. But she loves the loft so I don’t feel as bad.
This channel should be awarded for quality and longevity. Still going strong💯
don't wake up too fast or you'll end up fast asleep
hahaha good one
yeah I could never have that bed setup. for that reason alone
simple? More like cluttered cramped mess. It's fine if people want to live in small spaces.... I personally want a very small home, BUT don't call this "simple" when it's a mess.
NIGHT2PWN Listening to her talk about that bedroom made me panic
NIGHT2PWN wut
“But, uh, it’s worth it”
*awkwardly smiles at the camera.
No, it’s definitely not worth it.
Many people are camera shy. It's like how polygraphs are inaccurate because there are people who tell the truth and still show signs of lying. There are people who, once they have a camera on them, forget their own name.
@Rocky Croods She has had a few books published and seems to have a decent career. She's not a financial mogul living in a sprawling mansion these days.
@Rocky Croods Yes, if by "good life," you mean upper middle class. She is not wealthy.
@Rocky Croods Because you seemed to imply she's rich. She's not.
@Rocky Croods succeeding & being rich are not the same.
You said "she is rich now"
You've done a nice job of organizing what you need in a small space. Your attitude is on your side. Good luck with the book.
Felice, What a great attitude you have. Make sure you never break a bone or get injured, because you may have problems maneuvering around.
When you force the idea of living in New York . This is what it looks like. New York ain’t that special to put yourself in these conditions
Not all apartments lool like that though
I live in ny. If u want a borderline regular place the least you’ll spend is $1500 rent. A nice place is like 3k+ in rent
@@drek273 i also live in new york but in brooklyn.. And not really even the nice places are like 1,300.. Or 1,600 it depends on the bedroom
@laifah Napoleon yea but u live here. You know the rent out here is a joke
to each their own....yes i would love to have space outside like a yard or not have to go very far to go backpacking hiking but i could do this for a summer and go from there
This feels like a sort of urban apartment Stockholm syndrome.
So I could be screwed. Im a total county girl. We can drag our kayaks to river from our home. I couldn’t live in the city. I definitely couldn’t do the bed. Mad props to her. Going for her dream and rock on. Always great to be positive.
I live a few blocks from this in the same kind of brownstone. I have about 190 sq ft. I used to live in a two-floor townhouse in a different city. I wouldn't go back to a larger place (or at least a place that large). I think some people (though a small, small minority of the pop.) just like small apartments.
If my bed was that close to the ceiling I’d get a concussion every morning
It's like sleeping in an MRI machine. 😦

Thank you.
LA landlord:
"Ok, rents gonna be 200k a month."
Joke's on her, the landlord just rented out the broom closet for an extra $700 a month.
The landroom rented out the bathroom. The next video is of that guy talking about how great it is to live in a bathroom
Damn I could've gotten that for only $700!?
😂
Lol
Get the fuck out of here. I live in Gainesville Florida and for a fulls rent everything included with a big kitchen and washer and dryer in place I pay.$740 and is 3 times bigger
"This city has so much to offer, Gyms, and coffee shops and libraries."
idk whos gonna tell her those are everywhere but someone needs too. lol.
I think she means within a short walk. There's also surely much more that she didn't mention within a short walk.
And affordable $5 for a water bottle off course
@Your Name Here If someone wants to trade personal space for being around others in a city because that's what makes them happy (e.g. maybe they like the library or coffee shop because they want to be around people), is that such a bad thing? They may not like the same things as you ... or me, for that matter. I personally love that other people like different things than me, otherwise all the hikes and camping spots would be crowded as hell.
Dosadoodle she is a loser, face it.
Oh... My... DIOS 🤣💀
I'm a big guy, 6'5" 285 lbs. For me living inside this apartment would feel like living inside a glove.
I heard living in Manhattan as a big guy can be annoying. Like you always feel like your at a risk to knock shit over lol.
or a coffin
I love the old TV. Great place in general
is it really worth it living in a tuna can just so that you can say that you're from manhattan....
Charlie lol 😂
It's more than just "saying that you're from manhattan". It's about living in the "heartbeat of New York".
Everything is an arms length away.

There are so many emotions in this video. I hope she's doing well now. God bless the people living like this. And the landlords, man. The government should do something about it.
This apartment is no way selling me on the fact she was a professional organizer.
Laughing out loud reading this 😂😂
Yikes. I was thinking the same
Right
It explains why she is so poor
At all
She LOVES to say that shes a "New Yorker". All that just for this.
Mr. 8-Bit Doggo Well i love the idea that im NOT a new yorker
Exactly . You're right 👍
yeah it's a different breed of people for sure. I enjoyed it when I was 21. but I love my 3000 sq ft house and YARD which has mountain views.
Hey if you work 90 hours a week and only come home to sleep and shower and get to live and work in new york, a lot of people would be up for this, including me.
Some people just LOVE to live in a rural farm away from people
Looks like you've created a wonderful life. So happy for you.🤗
I really admire you for having decided what’s the most important thing in your life and accepting the rest of what goes with it! I’m impressed that a bathroom could be installed in that space and also makes living small, bearable and even comefortable, the window is important also. I think you’ve done really well with the space and especially the bed, but I think we’d all like to know what the rent costs. Could you include that in the next video please? Thanks
That bed gives me so much anxiety just looking at it. My claustrophobia is screaming
I cant breathe looking at it.
Not gonna lie if id feel kinda nice having a small space at the top of everything with 1 way entry which is where the latter was, and a rail (In this case a piece of wood to not fall off)
Watching videos etc up their would be alright
Probably kid nature kicking in, i mean as a kid you gonna say you never played in a closet, its just fun for some reason
OMG me too!!! I would have a panic attack

You're 100% right.
Maybe because she is so laughably ridiculous
Poor man's Michael Scott, as she is known around his condo
I worked in NYC for many years and lived in a huge apartment in New Jersey. I left my car at home and took public transportation. I adore tiny homes, but there is no way that I would live like this.
You’ve done quite well in organizing your apartment. I live in 40 square feet an am also very comfortable. It just takes a little adjustment and planning. The only thing I don’t have is a bath. An athletic club close by fits that need.

if she was my wife i would buy her a million dollar house in Dubai and a nice Lamborghini car and a red dress and everything she is too beautiful to be like this wow there is no men in the usa i think
700 a month is a pretty good deal to live next to next to billionaires and be within a mile of shopping centers and restaurants.
***** Yeah cause everyone wants to be a poor struggling artist living next to millionaires.
Everyone bashing her lol, it says in the description that she CAN afford to move, but that place is more convenient. Shes single, spends most of her time at her desk or outside so i dont see a problem with her living here to save money, instead of spending $3k a month to look cool. Its honestly the size of some college dorms ive seen.
what colleges have you seen? The university of Zimbabwe?
Ive been to a few. I know the dorms at university of maryland eastern shore are about this size
Average size of single student dorm rooms in the US are around 100ish Sq feet. So just slightly larger than this.
@@zach0713 yeah im in college RN, but I'm not really sure how many feet my dorm is. Ik its much bigger than the room in the video, but that's probably because I have 2 other roommates
Yea at university of maryland eastern shore some of the buildings have an open space but separate rooms for other people, but the rooms are anywhere from 70-100sq feet.
Love her attitude ❤
Wonderful! I am 67 and cannot do ladders anymore. your place is great!
I've never been so glad to not live in NYC as I was when seeing her apartment. Does it even count as an apartment if it doesn't have a kitchen? How is that considered a "livable" space?
Might be some kind of code violation, honestly...........
I lived in a studio apartment in San Francisco for several years, which was only marginally larger... it was 12' x 12', if memory serves....didn't even need to make a loft. .you simply learn to make the best use of space...
The only requirement is heat and running water
My room doesn't have kitchen and the washroom is outside, shared with the other tenants. Don't ask, just sleep is my motto.
Normal in the military. And we dont get a view and conveance like that.
we need covid 19 update to see how great this is

Holy shit 🤣 I'd move back in with my parents and give up those New York City dreams IMMEDIATELY.
Good luck keeping to 6ft social distancing in there 😂
I used to live in 800 Sq feet and developed claustrophobia and depression. No matter what they say, one should never confine yourself in a closet, and there should be some regulation in Sq. Feet and price offered to tenants.
Thankyou for showing us. Too small for most, but if you’re happy, that’s great.

her toilet is closer to her bed than most peoples i have a long corridor i have to walk down to pee
I know! I know I would knock myself out waking up in the morning 😂
you could always cut a head-sized hole in the roof
or maybe 2, if you're planning on a lot of loving
Major Kek that was my thought. There's definitely not gonna be a lot of kama sutra happening there.
You did great work on that tiny apartment. You should lower that bed all the way down to the floor so that your head avoids hitting the ceiling. Then you're living simply and nicely. Kudos!

Honestly man, if she explicitly says it's cozy and enjoyable and if she's happy then who are we to put her down in her effort to live more minimally?

Because we normalized hyperconsumerism
Because it’s called freedom of speech. One person may think it’s delusional to live in a space the size of my closet.

Yes...people in New York will always brag about "outdoor/going out" life much. But still I prefer decent size for a place where you feel home...I guess each to their own. She did manage to organize that place well
I always come back to this video
"They have parks here. They have gyms all over." Just a heads up Kirsten, they have restaurants, parks, gyms, in every metro area. The difference is that these other places have apartments that are affordable with 10x your space. A large bathroom, a real kitchen and usually a laundry area. But I'm sure Manhattan is worth it. *rolls eyes*
She's basically contributing to the astronomical values of Manhattan
It doesn’t even need to be 10x the size to be waaaay more comfortable. I’m a student (in Finland) and me and many of my friends live alone comfortably in studio apartments that are 2-3x the size of that. But even the single person ”dorm rooms” I’ve lived in weren’t that crammed and were of larger surface area in temselves, and then I had separate regular size community bathrooms and kitchens etc. 😂
New York is worth it
Muhilan Selvaa No, it isn’t.
My little city of 10,000 has restaurants, parks, and gyms. We also have big houses, big apartments, a lake, a river and clean, fresh air. Syracuse, a big city with sports, theatres and malls is only 20 minutes away. And it's still in NY State... you couldn't pay me to live in NYC!
My garage is like 20 times bigger than your apartment. That means I could subdivide it and rent it out to a bunch of professional organizers. Thank you for the motivation to become a real estate mogul.
Is your garage situated near the Central Park too?
Just what I have thought.
lol
Haha 😂
Already happening in hk for years
Cinna Moon Don’t worry about him. Probably takes him 30+ minutes of driving for each trip anywhere.
Great video !!! Your place is very beautiful and you have made the space very fitting. I’m impressed 😎👍
Out off all the small apartment I’ve seen, I like this one the most. It actually has a bathroom. The other don’t. And it’s organized and cozy.
