I would never ever ever EVER live in NewYork or anywhere near it, BUT these videos fascinate me. It just amazes me to see what people are willing to pay to live like that. Its Like a train wreck you cant turn away from.
Same here 100% like driving by a car wreck you cant help but keep looking. I cant get over the prices 🤢 I live in a three floor condo , full basement w/ washer dryer 2 bedrooms 1.5 baths a fireplace and a deck 1450 a month
@@AP-kp8zs right? 2 years ago We bought a 100 yr old craftsman 1600sq ft home huge plot of land for 37,000. Itll be completely paid off and renovated in 4 years. We pay 600.00 mth no mortgage.
I left NYC 6 years ago and I cringe every time I see these old ass buildings that have been divided up into “studios”. That fireplace was part of someone’s actual living room a hundred years ago! I love having a modern, NEW apartment and having a bedroom instead of sitting on my bed and staring at the same 4 walls every moment I’m in the house.
Most of the painted surfaces look like 20 coats slapped on top of each other because nobody ever heard of sandpaper or paint thinner. That's a quasi-kitchen and a rolling cart to hold s combo microwave and cutting board is required. Storage space is great I'll give them that. No laundromat in the neighborhood so either just buy new stuff at Goodwill every few months or become BFFs with someone who has a washer.
Make sure the landlord fixes the hole in the wall or gives you 3 months free rental to fix the hole, check out the fire place, remove all layers of paint, an electrical safety check and finally redecrate the place. What I do LOVE about your videos is that you give a brief glimpse of the neighbourhood around the apartment which extremely helpful especially if you're new to NYC.

Disclaimer-New Yorker here and I have lived in N.Y.C. studios for most of my adult life. This is not the worst apartment. The windows need to be cleaned but they are actually quite charming. The hole definitely needs to be fixed. If you put a rectangular table bar height right by the kitchen and two stools on the opposite end, it could function as counter space and a table. You can get a couch that folds out into a bed and put it opposite the first place. T.V. above the fireplace like Cashew said. Overall, not bad for one person, but $1950 is still a lot for pandemic times. So, ask for a month free, ask for the hole of the fixed, cleaned windows, and I think it is doable.

I love all the apartments, and this one was nice. You had me at fireplace. Looks like home. I've lived in my studio for more than ten years, just fine. I got your dropleaf table right here, and raise you a futon. But giving up my wall length under-stair closet would be a hardship. I love NYC. My glitch, from experience, is that living in a beautiful city is not as beautiful when you spend all your money on rent and cannot afford to enjoy the food or plays, galleries, museums and musicals. Now I'm back to living affordably in a small town. Loving the grass and trees and no bars at me windows. Its cool. :)
I’ll never understand why somebody would choose that place when they are a 15 minute Path ride away from that neighborhood in Hoboken. Could live like a king in Hoboken for 1950
You've definitely shown us better in this price range. I'd pass on this one. The hole is inexcusable. The neighborhood doesn't make a horror movie hole in the wall a worthwhile concession.

Honestly Cash, I think you have night job as a comedian, do you write all of your material, your a natural😀 Carmine’s , self- explanatory😀😀😀 love your content, keep us smiling😀
The windows are flimsy and gross and it must get awful cold in the winter. The landlord could at least put in new windows. Also, 7th Avenue South from 4th to 8th Street has gotten really dangerous lately, so it's better to stick west of 7th Avenue / Carmine and avoid the area around the IFC Theater. It's also better to avoid the 4th Street subway station and take the 1 if you can. Btw, I'm a born and bred New Yorker so I know what to avoid.
Yeah I was definitely going to say he picked the worst subway stop. He should have taken the 1. I used to manage a building near West 4th, and it does get dangerous/seedy even in the daytime.
I'd rather live with my parents, where it's warm and cosy, than live in that apartment. I haven't seen worse. Unfortunately. Not sure I I even want to. 😄
This studio needs a murphy bed that folds down over a sofa. That way you can put it opposite the fireplace and save the corner next to the fireplace by the window for a desk.
I grew up just a few blocks from there! The Hudson Park Library used to be about five times its current size before some space was sold for condos. BTW, the placement of the outlets in the kitchen are a possible fire hazard.
It is workable if you are handy and creative enough to fix the imperfections. Still for 1950.00, you can get a much better studio or even 1BR in the city these days.
I continue not to understand why anyone lives in NYC unless their job requires them to be there or they're filthy rich. Yes, I've been there a number of times, and it seemed about like any other very large city to me. There was no mystic aura about NYC that made it anything special to me. My house mortgage was the same cost per month as this apartment, and, trust me, a lot nicer.
Data shows people are moving out. Most of the things that made NY unique are gone or will be gone soon. You can also get a lot of the benefits in other cities in the US for a far cheaper price. I have a mortgage & hoa fees as well and it's actually cheaper than this spot. I live in a 3 bed 2 bath with 2 balconies by the lake with access to museums, parks, restaurants, and other amenities. People are getting ripped off.
@@DailyRants89 Yeah, absolutely, many of the same amenities are available elsewhere, and, thanks to the internet and modern communications, remote work has become practicable for many professions so you aren't necessarily forced to live only in a few large urban centers for many jobs. The cost of living is much lower, taxes are lower, crime may be lower, living spaces are larger on average and you aren't living in one of the most crowded cities in the world. Also, my wife and I both have new vehicles and don't have to bother with nasty public transportation with possible crazies or criminals on board. How often do most people go to the museum or go see a Broadway play? You can do those things on vacation & about as often as you would have anyway. What else do New Yorkers go on about? The restaurants? They can be very expensive there, and, again, if you live in an urban center or suburbs, you probably have a good range of cuisines available now. I can drive twenty minutes and get good Vietnamese, Lebanese or Venezuelan food, and I am not living somewhere super trendy. LOL
@@julianhermanubis6800 The remote working thing definitely makes a big difference, I like living in big cities because I feel like I can always find another job pretty easily if I need to. I like to look at real estate listings in cheaper places with better weather but that would mean moving somewhere where I have no friends or support system, my family is in Boston which has become almost as expensive. Plus a lot of the things you list as negatives are things I enjoy, I like the subway, and I mostly like crowds, apart from Times Square and Canal St.
@@BCThunderthud Before the rise of telecommuting/remote work, having access to the job markets of the larger metro areas would've definitely been a strong selling point. Until I settled down a few years ago, I'd moved a lot, so the support network aspect wasn't a factor for me, besides friends in those locations. But, now, my last two jobs (covering eight years' time) have been remote. Pre-COVID, there were some employers who did want you in their area, but, post-COVID, it looks like even that has shifted. If you like public transportation, then that would be a selling point, but, personally, I hate it, at least in the U.S. I've seen some public transportation systems I did like, but they were all abroad, like National Rail and its subsidiaries in Britain (at least, the intercity trains, but the in-city services can be about as bad as American ones). And I'm done with crowds. Where I live, I am fortunate enough to have a lot of wildlife plus some reasonably dark night skies, and I definitely prefer having a red fox come sit down a few feet away from me to having loud drunks clamoring near my property nights. I do travel a lot, so I can get my city fix while on the road, but I then get to leave.
🗣🎤 Tuned in ☕️ Whoa...kudos to this apartment dweller! Perfect for your 1st apartment. This area has everything 💖 The M20 bus runs down to World Trade Center & the M8 runs east to west village across 10th street. Endless cafes, banks & outdoor entertainment. Also there’s a YMCA down by Houston for a less expensive workout. Good one Cash 🎯
Pretty interesting to see something bad, it reminds us that NYC isn't so good with apartments)) Thank you for your videos buddy, you make me a bunch of funny every single week!
haha I love it!! this reminds me of the victorian converted flats in England. where the freeholder has just chopped up spaces within the building to make a really cheap rental in a prominent neighbourhood. you can tell that the landlord has painted over and over the flat. that's why the colours of the walls are so thick. there will be heating issues in that place for sure!
I love the weird little bathroom for some reason, with its tiny window and gritty view. The fireplace is charming. I even like the creaky old windows-they have character. They’re probably drafty in the winter, but whatever. The grit has a charm that won me over, and I kind of love it.
This would be perfect for me if I were moving to NY. Just my style. Do I know anyone in NY? Just you and your fam Cash! I just love it when people recognize you when you're out and about. That must make you feel really important and popular!
What I’d do, as an architecture student is, to the right of the fireplace, put a desk set up. Probably a combo unit with storage on top. In front of the FP a nice futon, so you can sleep there, without having your bed having to be seen. In front a small table with storage, for your bedding. To the left of that a two-person slim table with the option of a fold-up leaf so you can fit four. On the opposite wall put a storage island, a place to put a microwave or another appliance, and see if the land lord is trying to put an outlet in that hole in the wall. In the closest space, take out the second bar, so you can fit a drawer chest. In the bathroom, fix the storage on top. Can fit TP and paper product up to there, also it looked like that was some more space to put a small wire rack next to the sink for other stuff. A small and old space, but the location is what's great about it.
You definitely put a lot of thought into your comment, you had quite a few wonderful ideas! 👍🏼 Personally, l prefer a Murphy Bed (Higher end with a quality mattress.) in a Studio Apt... Or perhaps a Day Bed that could be used as a Couch too. I’m way to old for a Futon, it would kill my back. After all needs an achy sacroiliac? 😉😂
What you do is not rent that nasty POS and move to an affordable city. The workmanship on every thing from the paint to the caulk is the laziest shit I have ever seen.
I gasped twice during this video. 1st gasp was the hole in the wall. That's the roommate lives..... the 2nd gasp was realizing the place had a private bathroom. That's luxury.
Looks like the ceiling above the door has leaked before , the way its bulging. That place reminded me of my old studio apt I had. Place was a dump but for $175 a month it was better then nothing.
It's a cute little studio. I love the area around it!! Just make sure to have the super, fill in that hole. When I lived in The Bronx, I had a hole under the sink & mice used to go in & out of the hole until he filled it. You have great ideas on where to place furniture!! 👍🏽🌻
I salute cash for at least trying to make this unit presentable, I say unit and not apartment because this is not an apartment. Holes in the wall, the windows are dirty, and the appliances are cheap, this is definitely something for a younger person.
I gotta say your channel gives me the best taste of New York. I’ve never been and enjoy watching this, just for the ability of seeing the city. I’m from suburban L.A. Way different vibes but not always so good.
Pretty bad for that rent but the neighborhood IS New York, the food tour Made me hungry and nostalgic, the hole is unforgivable- what the??? But you Cash are looking on the bright side today and I truly appreciate your effervescent charm, priceless ❗️🥰
I live thousands of miles and oceans away -- but your contents are interesting and funny. I always find a way to watch your videos amidst my busy day :D :D
The 20 layers of paint will cover up anything- especially in the bathroom. It could have been worse. Could’ve been a faucet & a bucket- Up to you to figure out how they are going to be used.
The 50 coats of dried paint on the door hardware gave me flashbacks of my childhood apartment on the Lower East Side. If I was 25, ambitious, I could make that space work, to live in the West Village. Landlord knows that, and they will get someone.
Looks just like the place I rented in "The Fenway" in Boston back in the mid 80's.....right after I got my undergrad. $650/month with 1 parking space.....Such a deal in Beantown back in the day !! God I Loved that apartment......Miss that apartment. Same medicine cabinet Btw. Def NO NEED for a bed......get a "higher end" futon. Couch by day.....Queen bed by night......!! LOVE your video's.....
I thoroughly enjoy your videos, especially the neighborhood tours. The chances of my ever visiting (much less, living) in New York are rather slim, however, the walks through the surrounding area give a real sense of 'being there.' The actual apartment tours are satisfyingly detailed, but quick. Thank you!
I appreciate that you always look for a dishwasher & a sprayer in the kitchen. I live in a 2-bedroom apt. It doesn't have a dishwasher or a sprayer. There are portable dishwashers that can sit on your countertop, or you can put it on a rolling cart for example or table as long as you can hook the hoses to the faucet. I got a countertop dishwasher & I love it. The only complaint is I wish I had got the bigger rolling stand-alone dishwasher because it will hold more dishes. But the dishwasher I got does an excellent job of cleaning dishes. It's easy to hook to the faucet & I love it. I will get a bigger one in the future though. As for the sprayer, there is a sprayer that screws into the faucet head & it is cheap. You can find them at a hardware store like Lowes or Home Depot. I got mine at Lowes. It is pretty neat. It will spray my whole sink. It can either pour water or spray it. Cost around $4. Changed my life!!! Nah but it has helped greatly.
Nice bachelor/bachelorette digs for under 2 grand in the West Village! I was expecting it to be so much worse from the title and its actually turned out to be a pretty decent studio. Not enough room for a couple but if single living in NYC is up right up your alley, this floats your boat and the neighborhood nearby has everything you need to live there. Plus convenient train stop to any part of the city and what a steal for the price!
I live in Northern California, earthquake country! That white primed brick wall looks cracked, like a disaster waiting to happen in the tiniest earthquake!!!!
I am in awe of what great places you find in NYC. I wish you were here in Miami, I've been looking for an apartment (affordable) for the last 2 years to no avail. Come be an agent in the magic city! ✨️
Is a long line a sign of quality? Well, you did see a long line at that one Starbucks a week or two ago. Then there were all those peeps in line for Justin Bieber crocs.....so idk 🤔
I've lived in smaller places. Use a daybed for both sofa and bed and you have space for a table and chairs! I'd put one of those candle set-ups in the fireplace. That place is cute!
$1700 in the west village???!!! Please do a tour! I'd love to see it!! If Cash doesn't want to do a tour, do one yourself and post a link here for the rest of us!
I delivered mail on that route, the statue place is amazing when it's open, the place with the plants is a real estate office. All the food in that area is amazing, the pizza shop on Carmine is the best. There is also a pool in that area.
Crispy Canadian bacon - "the best thing to come out of Canada ... ever!" Not sure if I should be offended or not! :D This apartment wasn't quite as bad as I thought it would be, but that hole in the wall would give me nightmares!
Did I see it, do my eyes deceive me? 👀 Did Cash just take the path less traveled!? Did he realize all we want to see is him going down a beautiful set of stairs!? Just brilliant.. 👏 (ReSubscribed!) Keep up the good work, my good man. 🥸
I like your video reviews on Apts. very entertaining. I really enjoy seeing the neighborhoods and restaurants. However, if I had to live in this particular apartment I would slit my wrists.
Now, in Florida, you could get a mobile home starting around $24,000. And Florida is great from Oct through Mar. But, it’s hell in the summer and the humidity never goes away. NEVER! 😃😃😃
@@givememore4free 😀😀😀 I’m in Columbus, Oh and we have humidity, too. But, in Florida, the temp during the summer season. goes up into the 90’s every day. I say “summer season” because I think it starts in April and goes through October. The lows at night rarely go below 75. So, the high humidity sticks around all day and night. It’s like the tropical jungle. Now, we have 90 days here in Ohio. But, anyway, when we have 3 in a row we call it a heat wave. Now, with all that said, it’s heavenly during the winter season, and I’ve been looking at housing all over Florida. 😀😀😀
Love your videos, Cash, but I'm pretty sure you meant to say, "Prodigy Coffee" (not "Progidy") at 1:31. Thanks for all of you do and keep up the great work!
They couldn't fix the freaking HOLE? The slanted shelf is for plants, b/c they won't care, lol. Edit: If they let you use the f/p, it could be great! Fix the hole and go from there, adding a Murphy bed or a futon as suggested below. He's got other great ideas, too. I've lived in worse in L.A. Cheers, Cash! ☕
Put a futon next to the windows and you have a couch/bed. From there it's easy to decorate. This place could be really nice and I don't mind the retro look. I'd play into it with old advertising and matted travel posters. I was expecting much worse.

Honestly Cash, I think you have night job as a comedian, do you write all of your material, your a natural😀 Carmine’s , self- explanatory😀😀😀 love your content, keep us smiling😀
Thought the same thing..LOL. Cash is a hoot !!
Confession: he writes ALL my dad jokes. If you want your kids to roll their eyes at you sufficiently leave it to an expert. Hire Cash!
Lol I try my best
Cash, I’m sure you do😀😀😀😀
Your comments and phrases while you show local business is now the best part of the video for me.
The windows are flimsy and gross and it must get awful cold in the winter. The landlord could at least put in new windows. Also, 7th Avenue South from 4th to 8th Street has gotten really dangerous lately, so it's better to stick west of 7th Avenue / Carmine and avoid the area around the IFC Theater. It's also better to avoid the 4th Street subway station and take the 1 if you can. Btw, I'm a born and bred New Yorker so I know what to avoid.
Yeah I was definitely going to say he picked the worst subway stop. He should have taken the 1. I used to manage a building near West 4th, and it does get dangerous/seedy even in the daytime.
@@MDRnMisha elaborate please
Something about that fire place and that hole in the wall would have me up all night long lmao 😂😂😂😂😂😱
that is....if you could find a bed to fit in that room.
Cash, you are a hoot and a howl. Absolutely love love love your tours. Awesome location and really not a bad studio. 🥰
Still looks better than living with my parents 👍
Glass half filled
At least with your parents, you are spared a lot of expenses...
Absolutely I liked this unit
🎵Like Dorthy & Toto
Flew over the rainbow
To blow off Auntie Emmmmmm!🎵
I'd rather live with my parents, where it's warm and cosy, than live in that apartment. I haven't seen worse. Unfortunately. Not sure I I even want to. 😄
This studio needs a murphy bed that folds down over a sofa. That way you can put it opposite the fireplace and save the corner next to the fireplace by the window for a desk.
This little flat has a lot of rustic charm l think... lt could be made very cozy with some creativity.... but needs a fair bit of money spent on it..
And a police warrant for the rats.
that's what i was thinking.
Having a library within walking distance might make it all worth while.
I absolutely love this place, I'd decorate it like a cozy jewelry box with color and texture.
I love this guy. He's so confident and aggressive. And such a talker.
I grew up just a few blocks from there! The Hudson Park Library used to be about five times its current size before some space was sold for condos.
BTW, the placement of the outlets in the kitchen are a possible fire hazard.
Thank you for bringing us along for this interesting tour.
It is workable if you are handy and creative enough to fix the imperfections. Still for 1950.00,
you can get a much better studio or even 1BR in the city these days.
In the West Village? Location, location, location👍🙏🥰🤣
I’ve lived in West Village. This unit isn’t worth the location.
One of the BEST channels!!
I continue not to understand why anyone lives in NYC unless their job requires them to be there or they're filthy rich. Yes, I've been there a number of times, and it seemed about like any other very large city to me. There was no mystic aura about NYC that made it anything special to me. My house mortgage was the same cost per month as this apartment, and, trust me, a lot nicer.
Data shows people are moving out. Most of the things that made NY unique are gone or will be gone soon. You can also get a lot of the benefits in other cities in the US for a far cheaper price. I have a mortgage & hoa fees as well and it's actually cheaper than this spot. I live in a 3 bed 2 bath with 2 balconies by the lake with access to museums, parks, restaurants, and other amenities. People are getting ripped off.
@@DailyRants89 Yeah, absolutely, many of the same amenities are available elsewhere, and, thanks to the internet and modern communications, remote work has become practicable for many professions so you aren't necessarily forced to live only in a few large urban centers for many jobs. The cost of living is much lower, taxes are lower, crime may be lower, living spaces are larger on average and you aren't living in one of the most crowded cities in the world. Also, my wife and I both have new vehicles and don't have to bother with nasty public transportation with possible crazies or criminals on board. How often do most people go to the museum or go see a Broadway play? You can do those things on vacation & about as often as you would have anyway. What else do New Yorkers go on about? The restaurants? They can be very expensive there, and, again, if you live in an urban center or suburbs, you probably have a good range of cuisines available now. I can drive twenty minutes and get good Vietnamese, Lebanese or Venezuelan food, and I am not living somewhere super trendy. LOL
@@julianhermanubis6800 The remote working thing definitely makes a big difference, I like living in big cities because I feel like I can always find another job pretty easily if I need to. I like to look at real estate listings in cheaper places with better weather but that would mean moving somewhere where I have no friends or support system, my family is in Boston which has become almost as expensive. Plus a lot of the things you list as negatives are things I enjoy, I like the subway, and I mostly like crowds, apart from Times Square and Canal St.
@@BCThunderthud Before the rise of telecommuting/remote work, having access to the job markets of the larger metro areas would've definitely been a strong selling point. Until I settled down a few years ago, I'd moved a lot, so the support network aspect wasn't a factor for me, besides friends in those locations. But, now, my last two jobs (covering eight years' time) have been remote. Pre-COVID, there were some employers who did want you in their area, but, post-COVID, it looks like even that has shifted. If you like public transportation, then that would be a selling point, but, personally, I hate it, at least in the U.S. I've seen some public transportation systems I did like, but they were all abroad, like National Rail and its subsidiaries in Britain (at least, the intercity trains, but the in-city services can be about as bad as American ones). And I'm done with crowds. Where I live, I am fortunate enough to have a lot of wildlife plus some reasonably dark night skies, and I definitely prefer having a red fox come sit down a few feet away from me to having loud drunks clamoring near my property nights. I do travel a lot, so I can get my city fix while on the road, but I then get to leave.
🗣🎤 Tuned in ☕️
Whoa...kudos to this apartment dweller! Perfect for your 1st apartment. This area has everything 💖 The M20 bus runs down to World Trade Center & the M8 runs east to west village across 10th street. Endless cafes, banks & outdoor entertainment. Also there’s a YMCA down by Houston for a less expensive workout. Good one Cash 🎯
You know you're in trouble when the bathroom is the best room in the apartment.🤪🤪🤪
You know you’re in trouble when half the video is highlighting everything outside the apartment.
@@attiasprouse682 lmfaooooo
It's not bad why everyone act like their better than everyone lol
Pretty interesting to see something bad, it reminds us that NYC isn't so good with apartments))
Thank you for your videos buddy, you make me a bunch of funny every single week!
I admire your ability to see the good in everything 😂 you’re definitely good at your job!
haha I love it!! this reminds me of the victorian converted flats in England. where the freeholder has just chopped up spaces within the building to make a really cheap rental in a prominent neighbourhood. you can tell that the landlord has painted over and over the flat. that's why the colours of the walls are so thick. there will be heating issues in that place for sure!
This apartment looks like someone just had a bucket of white paint and a condemned building and said: Well, lets make the best of it.
EDIT: And no masking tape or sandpaper....
It’s so cool that you highlighted the fallout shelter ☢️
That brings back memories from my youth...
You’ll be thankful you chose the place with rat access when you need to eat them after surviving the fallout in that shelter.
War...war never changes....
Depressing. Nice neighborhood though.
I love the weird little bathroom for some reason, with its tiny window and gritty view. The fireplace is charming. I even like the creaky old windows-they have character. They’re probably drafty in the winter, but whatever. The grit has a charm that won me over, and I kind of love it.
This place reminds me of my college dorm that was built in 1910 and seemingly hadn’t been updated in the 100 years since then
Cash, that hole in the kitchen is a garbage shoot 🙌🏻 FEATURE 🤣🤣
This would be perfect for me if I were moving to NY. Just my style. Do I know anyone in NY? Just you and your fam Cash! I just love it when people recognize you when you're out and about. That must make you feel really important and popular!
What I’d do, as an architecture student is, to the right of the fireplace, put a desk set up. Probably a combo unit with storage on top. In front of the FP a nice futon, so you can sleep there, without having your bed having to be seen. In front a small table with storage, for your bedding. To the left of that a two-person slim table with the option of a fold-up leaf so you can fit four. On the opposite wall put a storage island, a place to put a microwave or another appliance, and see if the land lord is trying to put an outlet in that hole in the wall. In the closest space, take out the second bar, so you can fit a drawer chest. In the bathroom, fix the storage on top. Can fit TP and paper product up to there, also it looked like that was some more space to put a small wire rack next to the sink for other stuff. A small and old space, but the location is what's great about it.
Could use a coffee table that has storage and the top raises so it can be used as a table for dining or laptop.
I’m a professional home stager, and totally agree with all of your recommendations. Best of luck!
You definitely put a lot of thought into your comment, you had quite a few wonderful ideas! 👍🏼 Personally, l prefer a Murphy Bed (Higher end with a quality mattress.) in a Studio Apt... Or perhaps a Day Bed that could be used as a Couch too. I’m way to old for a Futon, it would kill my back. After all needs an achy sacroiliac? 😉😂
Place is shit no reason to work around it its complete dogshit
What you do is not rent that nasty POS and move to an affordable city. The workmanship on every thing from the paint to the caulk is the laziest shit I have ever seen.
I gasped twice during this video. 1st gasp was the hole in the wall. That's the roommate lives..... the 2nd gasp was realizing the place had a private bathroom. That's luxury.
I don't ever plan on living in nyc but I cant stop watching these
Looks like the ceiling above the door has leaked before , the way its bulging. That place reminded me of my old studio apt I had. Place was a dump but for $175 a month it was better then nothing.
Wow! What a sweet appartement and the neighborhood is amazing!
This looks like the last tenant was a taxi driver with a mohawk and a lot of guns. I've lived in worse.
It's a cute little studio. I love the area around it!! Just make sure to have the super, fill in that hole. When I lived in The Bronx, I had a hole under the sink & mice used to go in & out of the hole until he filled it. You have great ideas on where to place furniture!! 👍🏽🌻
I salute cash for at least trying to make this unit presentable, I say unit and not apartment because this is not an apartment. Holes in the wall, the windows are dirty, and the appliances are cheap, this is definitely something for a younger person.
I love the video this guy makes - there so fun to watch but also informative :))
Love your observations and funny comments. “Don’t judge me” 😂
I gotta say your channel gives me the best taste of New York. I’ve never been and enjoy watching this, just for the ability of seeing the city. I’m from suburban L.A. Way different vibes but not always so good.
If I were single, I'd totally love this because of the neighborhood. My knees need to know what floor though. 🤪
Nice video. I had to dig deep in the description for the price. It would be great if you mentioned it at the end of your videos.
Thanks to Cash, I just bought an apartment with enough space for shrines to 3 gods and 2 medicine cabinets.
What's your sink sprayer situation? ;)
I love how the neighbors is really calm and even shop pop out around the apart !!
Even in the west village, given the comps, I feel like this place should be $1500 tops, especially with the hole for the rats right by the stove
You could charge the rats rent!!!!.
Pretty bad for that rent but the neighborhood IS New York, the food tour
Made me hungry and nostalgic, the hole is unforgivable- what the???
But you Cash are looking on the bright side today and I truly appreciate your effervescent charm, priceless ❗️🥰
I love how you try to upsell this dump
for $2000 lol
Can is an expert!
Cash
I live thousands of miles and oceans away -- but your contents are interesting and funny. I always find a way to watch your videos amidst my busy day :D :D
The 20 layers of paint will cover up anything- especially in the bathroom. It could have been worse.
Could’ve been a faucet & a bucket- Up to you to figure out how they are going to be used.
I enjoy seeing your Apt Tours...❤️❤️❤️
This one is pretty grim. But interesting to see what's available in that neighborhood.
The 50 coats of dried paint on the door hardware gave me flashbacks of my childhood apartment on the Lower East Side. If I was 25, ambitious, I could make that space work, to live in the West Village. Landlord knows that, and they will get someone.
The apartments yesterday were cheaper and much better. I’m surprised it was so clean under the sink
Looks just like the place I rented in "The Fenway" in Boston back in the mid 80's.....right after I got my undergrad. $650/month with 1 parking space.....Such a deal in Beantown back in the day !! God I Loved that apartment......Miss that apartment. Same medicine cabinet Btw. Def NO NEED for a bed......get a "higher end" futon. Couch by day.....Queen bed by night......!! LOVE your video's.....
I thoroughly enjoy your videos, especially the neighborhood tours. The chances of my ever visiting (much less, living) in New York are rather slim, however, the walks through the surrounding area give a real sense of 'being there.' The actual apartment tours are satisfyingly detailed, but quick. Thank you!
I appreciate that you always look for a dishwasher & a sprayer in the kitchen.
I live in a 2-bedroom apt. It doesn't have a dishwasher or a sprayer.
There are portable dishwashers that can sit on your countertop, or you can put it on a rolling cart for example or table as long as you can hook the hoses to the faucet.
I got a countertop dishwasher & I love it. The only complaint is I wish I had got the bigger rolling stand-alone dishwasher because it will hold more dishes. But the dishwasher I got does an excellent job of cleaning dishes. It's easy to hook to the faucet & I love it. I will get a bigger one in the future though.
As for the sprayer, there is a sprayer that screws into the faucet head & it is cheap. You can find them at a hardware store like Lowes or Home Depot. I got mine at Lowes. It is pretty neat. It will spray my whole sink. It can either pour water or spray it. Cost around $4. Changed my life!!! Nah but it has helped greatly.
The existence of the apartment is what matters, not what the apartment looks like lol.
🤣😂🤣😂
Nice bachelor/bachelorette digs for under 2 grand in the West Village! I was expecting it to be so much worse from the title and its actually turned out to be a pretty decent studio. Not enough room for a couple but if single living in NYC is up right up your alley, this floats your boat and the neighborhood nearby has everything you need to live there. Plus convenient train stop to any part of the city and what a steal for the price!
this is so dirty and run down you should be paid to live there. If you're the landlord, you are just lazy or cheap.
@@limbiclove9487 HE/SHE IS DEFINITELY A SLUMLORD FOR SURE.
You are hilarious😂😂 another great show
I live in Northern California, earthquake country! That white primed brick wall looks cracked, like a disaster waiting to happen in the tiniest earthquake!!!!
We actually don't get earthquakes in New York.
Virginia, greetings from San Francisco. Actually, Emeryville, if you've ever heard of it.
Yeah, us earthquake country folk are wary of bricks!
I am in awe of what great places you find in NYC. I wish you were here in Miami, I've been looking for an apartment (affordable) for the last 2 years to no avail. Come be an agent in the magic city! ✨️
Is a long line a sign of quality? Well, you did see a long line at that one Starbucks a week or two ago. Then there were all those peeps in line for Justin Bieber crocs.....so idk 🤔
I've lived in smaller places. Use a daybed for both sofa and bed and you have space for a table and chairs! I'd put one of those candle set-ups in the fireplace. That place is cute!
He was running from that apartment. lol I would get a sofa bed. Why would anyone paint over exposed Brick?
If it’s been painted over before - probably many times - you’ll paint over it again.
Because most likely it is crumbling shit and the paint is holding it in place.
@@edsloan8535 lol🤦
Cash you're the best ❤️ From the West Coast, welcome to an eclectic channel! 🌵🍷🤠🌵
Cash this isn’t the cheapest mine in the west village is LOL. I negotiated mine down to $1700 in the heart of the west village. Want to tour mine?
$1700 in the west village???!!! Please do a tour! I'd love to see it!! If Cash doesn't want to do a tour, do one yourself and post a link here for the rest of us!
I delivered mail on that route, the statue place is amazing when it's open, the place with the plants is a real estate office. All the food in that area is amazing, the pizza shop on Carmine is the best. There is also a pool in that area.
Crispy Canadian bacon - "the best thing to come out of Canada ... ever!" Not sure if I should be offended or not! :D This apartment wasn't quite as bad as I thought it would be, but that hole in the wall would give me nightmares!
Did I see it, do my eyes deceive me? 👀 Did Cash just take the path less traveled!? Did he realize all we want to see is him going down a beautiful set of stairs!? Just brilliant.. 👏 (ReSubscribed!) Keep up the good work, my good man. 🥸
It's not the worst. It's the best. Very cozy apartment. And it's not cheap.
I like your video reviews on Apts. very entertaining. I really enjoy seeing the neighborhoods and restaurants. However, if I had to live in this particular apartment I would slit my wrists.
This apartment would make me so sad I want to move to New Jersey. Oh My God even worse than that, it would make me want to move to Florida.
Visit the area when warm weather hits. This apartment is in the heart of EVERYTHING entertaining.
Now, in Florida, you could get a mobile home starting around $24,000. And Florida is great from Oct through Mar. But, it’s hell in the summer and the humidity never goes away. NEVER! 😃😃😃
@@kenlasky3904 we here in New York get a lot of humidity in the summer. I think I could get used to it.
@@givememore4free 😀😀😀 I’m in Columbus, Oh and we have humidity, too. But, in Florida, the temp during the summer season. goes up into the 90’s every day. I say “summer season” because I think it starts in April and goes through October. The lows at night rarely go below 75. So, the high humidity sticks around all day and night. It’s like the tropical jungle. Now, we have 90 days here in Ohio. But, anyway, when we have 3 in a row we call it a heat wave. Now, with all that said, it’s heavenly during the winter season, and I’ve been looking at housing all over Florida. 😀😀😀
@@kenlasky3904, just remember that Jacksonville is not Ft. Lauderdale, & NO PLACE is Miami...hope you speak fluent Spanish.
Love your videos, Cash, but I'm pretty sure you meant to say, "Prodigy Coffee" (not "Progidy") at 1:31.
Thanks for all of you do and keep up the great work!
They couldn't fix the freaking HOLE? The slanted shelf is for plants, b/c they won't care, lol.
Edit: If they let you use the f/p, it could be great! Fix the hole and go from there, adding a Murphy bed or a futon as suggested below. He's got other great ideas, too. I've lived in worse in L.A. Cheers, Cash! ☕
Put a futon next to the windows and you have a couch/bed. From there it's easy to decorate. This place could be really nice and I don't mind the retro look. I'd play into it with old advertising and matted travel posters. I was expecting much worse.
How many layers of paint do you think are in that apartment?
About three fiddy.
That apartment for New York is great. Thank you for finding them
