Perfect! I lived in a 540 sq foot cottage for 10 years to save money to buy my house. It was $1,200.00 and the rent stayed the same for a decade & included all utilities & cable. It was also close to my job. They now rent it out for 3,400.00 almost 3 x the amt. I was there 2005-2015. It really is all you need, smaller is better! Stay as long as you can!
Wow that’s crazy how much the rent went up!! That sounds like such a cute place to live in though💕 you are right I definitely need to try to live here as long as I can! Lol 😅
I love how you knew to give us a shot of the whole space, and I love the shots of the kitchen and entryway. Many videos don’t give a shot of the whole space, which is so annoying! I always want to see the whole thing! Great job❤️ I love your place.
Yes indeed $1300 per month for such a pretty home is an absolute bargain! It is so immensely refreshing to know that some landlords are not GREEDY nor SELFISH and actually care about others. I would stay in that place for as long as I could... Perhaps she could buy a house in Los Angeles or a more affordable area later on.🌞🌞🌞
The way you filmed it was one of the best tours I think I’ve ever seen. Each shot was very comprehensive and then you went back and did a recap shot to show the whole space which is very important. I hate that some people give you tours and they run through the whole thing and you feel like you didn’t see anything but a few decor pieces because of the camera angles and the lack of recap shots. I feel like I got a great view of your whole entire apartment. Sometimes I watch these and feel like I didn’t see anything. Great filming!!! Amazing.
Love your warm 'Neutral Tones'. The layout of your apartment I really like and cannot believe that it's a studio; very nice size for a studio. That island in the kitchen built by your Mom...is superb👌along with your entire Decor theme.
You did a wonderful job! I live in a space about the same size, except I don't have a dishwasher, or laundry. To bring organization to your laundry area, get a laundry caddy from Amazon for your detergent, bleach, etc. To hold your mop, broom, etc , get a wall mounted mop and broom holder also from Amazon. Don't use Command Hooks, they can absolutely do damage to the landlords walls if not properly installed and removed. I didn't see any lamps, but a floor lamp between the sofa and chair, (maybe an arched one) would be nice. Congratulations on your warm, and cozy new home!
Love your place! Super cute and quaint! I totally understand the small bedroom/ small closet frustration but HONESTLY, I think with the kitchen/ living area that you have, it’s a great trade off. He could have made the kitchen/ living area smaller and made the “room” bigger but, imo, the living area is much more important. And I also have to say, THANK YOU for keeping your camera steady throughout the video. I can’t tell you how many of these apartment tour videos I can’t see for more than 1 second because of unsteady footage that sets off my vertigo. So thanks for not giving me a terrible headache! Your place is great!
I loved the decor and several items stood out for me, the sofa, one of your side chairs, clothing rack from Amazon, and the bedding I'm actually looking for all of those items for my place, thank you lady for the inspiration
Man, hands down one of the best, if not, the best, apartment tours I've seen. You've decorated the space so insanely nice it's hard to believe this isn't some huge house for $500K+! Wish you the best!
Hi Evelyn I Love your apartment you have such a Great eye for design and what a Blessing to get that price point in L.A. the Island is Gorgeous well done Queen 😊
Yes GIrl!! It' super cute and great price point!! I just moved to LA and the rent is double what I use to pay back in Dallas lol. No regrets though! Love it out here!!
I would put a floor lamp between the couch and the chair instead of the plant. I also remove the white pillows from the floor. It takes space. You know how to decorate and the colors are very beautiful. I love your apartment!. Excuse my English
Beautiful home! Packing cubes might help with the clothing storage situation. Just make sure you label each cube, so that your not constantly guessing which cube you put what in.
What a beautiful home! In Washington DC they have a lot of these similar layouts with a separate bedroom area but no door and they’re called junior one bedroom units.
Evelyn's apartment is gorgeous! It looks relaxing and well organized. How creative, for her mom to make her boss kitchen island! It's a one bedroom that is well hidden with style. I love it! ❤️🏡❤️🐾
I love what you've done with the place ! Very cute and cozy. I'm in LA too paying the same which I'm very grateful for but it's a much older building. Where / how did you find this ??
wow that is so cute! I love that you have your own standalone studio house, so cozy and that price is insane for brand new everything in LA. I've been looking and a lot of studios are getting into the 2000s. so happy for you
I agree, your place is beautiful. Great job on decorating. Love the comments! Consider moving the items off the shelf in the bedroom. Since it's over the bed and historically L.A. has reported earthquakes. Best of luck to you on your journey. Thanks for sharing.
Freaking beautiful. Amazing decorations. Did you look online for your place or did you search in person? Im pulling my hair out trying to find a decent spot lol
Hi Evelyn I really like how you put your place together. I bought a condo in Long Beach 3 months ago and it's been a struggle deciding on furniture and how I want the place to look. I've been surfing the web looking for ideas and different interior designers. I came across your video and was wondering if this is a service you do for people? If not do you know of a interior designer. I have a small 765 sqft 1 bed bedroom 1 and 1/2 bathroom. In signal hill. Hope to hear back from you. Thank you.
I would love to do that but unfortunately I don’t! 😕 it takes time but I highly recommend using Pinterest! that is my go to for inspiration + a lot of homegoods shopping 😊
Hi Evelyn! Your home is beautiful; thank you for sharing it. Do you happen to have a link to your [exact] tree (the one in the living room…I think it’s a fiddle leaf tree)?
Very cute home. Why don’t you move the counter stools to the opposite side of the island so it’s not in the way when you are cooking? It’s amazing what we take for granted. Some of us have always had washer/dryers so it’s strange when people say they are grateful to have one. 😅 Beautiful home tour.
This vid just popped up on my feed a year later! Gorgeous place, exactly what i want for mine! Your pups were so well behaved I fully thought they were decor before their little heads moved! 😂❤
Hey girl, love your video. I quit my job recently and posted a UA-cam video about my 2,500 studio in NY. Keep up the hard work and great video. I subscribed 🌞
600 sq ft is decent for a studio in Los Angeles most are 500 and under for more than 1300. I live in DTLA and my rent is 1800 for 500 sq ft your place is beautiful you definitely got a good deal.
Okay that is definitely not a studio! Its so big like for New York, at that price!😍 It would be a dream to live in it Evelyn you have kept the place so amazing. I have a question though, it seems so expensive with all the furniture, appliances and decor. So how much portion do you spend monthly on the apartment and how long it took to get all this interior done
It definitely is not cheap to furnish and decorate 😭 but I think it took me at least a year to slowly get everything how I wanted! A lot is from Facebook Marketplace 😇
Wow I can hardly believe that is a studio; for $1300 you get a lot - washer/dryer, microwave and dishwasher. Plus a seperate bedroom space. It is very nice and cozy.
Question do you think someone who makes 950 bi weekly can afford apt that’s around the same or 1,500 plus if they save three months of rent so about 3,600 ?
I’m so proud of us, millenials and gen z, we’re doing so good at interior decorating on so little with much smaller spaces. I hope those exploitative places like Ashley’s go out of business.

What's the address or name of the apartment complex?
@@SerPounceToebeansI know this was 10 months ago, but did you ever figure out what a backhouse it?
It seems larger than 600 sq ft. Beautifully furnished and decorated. I love your decoration, and especially I love the bed linens! Best wishes Evelyn!
Thank you Evelyn! Lol 🥰
Girl you are winning! Your mom did an amazing job. Cheers to family and great landlords! 🥂✨
Thank you for the sweet comment!🥰 yesss 🥂
I love how you knew to give us a shot of the whole space, and I love the shots of the kitchen and entryway. Many videos don’t give a shot of the whole space, which is so annoying! I always want to see the whole thing! Great job❤️ I love your place.
Very true! I love a full view too! thank you 🥰❤️
@@EvelynDiaz you did a wonderful job with your video! I loved it
Your place is really nice and the price point in LA is just pure luck!!!! Congratulations you did a great job decorating. I absolutely love it!🤩

I could get lost in the way you smile. It’s enchanting and absolutely captivating! 🌟😍

Thank you! 💕

Yes I love the way you decorate your small space, looks very cozy. It’s the first time I’m here seen your videos and I really like it❤
Thank you so much!! It’s a small space but I try 🥰✨
Your place is so beautiful and nicely done. Thanks for sharing!

Hi Latisha!! 💕Welcome to LA, you’re going to have so much fun here!! 🤩 very excited for you lol and yes the rent here is crazyyyyyyyy

Wow really, I’m going to call this a junior bedroom unit now haha thank you! 🥰
omgggggggg! that's a true miracle! what a blessing, what part of LA? Love the way you styled the space.
I know right! I am south of DTLA, which is probably why I was able to find this place 😅
The island storage should face the stove, so people can sit and face the kitchen while you’re cooking etc
That’s a good idea too! ✨currently have it facing the tv that’s why
Evelyn's apartment is gorgeous! It looks relaxing and well organized. How creative, for her mom to make her boss kitchen island! It's a one bedroom that is well hidden with style. I love it! ❤️🏡❤️🐾
❤️❤️❤️
What a dream space! I think no door by the bedroom area makes it more open and spacious
thank you! 🥹 that’s true !
I love what you've done with the place ! Very cute and cozy. I'm in LA too paying the same which I'm very grateful for but it's a much older building. Where / how did you find this ??
I love how you decorated! The lay out is great and shout out to your talented mom. 🥰
So beautiful and affordable! How did you find this apartment?
Love the space!
Do you by chance have a link to the clothing rack? Thanks!
The one I have is no longer available but I linked in my description box a very similar one!! ✨💕
@@EvelynDiaz thank you!
I love your studio apartment it's just the right size and I like how you decorated.
thank you! ☺️💖
wow that is so cute! I love that you have your own standalone studio house, so cozy and that price is insane for brand new everything in LA. I've been looking and a lot of studios are getting into the 2000s. so happy for you
Thank you so much! 🙏🏼💕 I know! sometimes I go on to check other apartments / studios & it’s ridiculous how much it is 😣
Your place is so cute! Not a lot of room for your dogs, so it's nice that there's an outdoor space for them too! Very cute!
I know, hoping one day I can have a big backyard for them 🤞🏼🥺 thank you Pamela! 💕
I agree, your place is beautiful. Great job on decorating. Love the comments! Consider moving the items off the shelf in the bedroom. Since it's over the bed and historically L.A. has reported earthquakes. Best of luck to you on your journey. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you for the nice comment! ☺️ yess I’m considering moving it lol
What a beautiful place!
Where can I find the subway tile contact paper?
Thank you! ❤️ I found it at target surprisingly! I will try to link it in the description
Try using bed risers to lift your bed and you can store clothes under the bed using under the bed plastic containers on wheels
I have been wanting to do that! Just not sure how it will look 😬
Freaking beautiful. Amazing decorations. Did you look online for your place or did you search in person? Im pulling my hair out trying to find a decent spot lol
first time watching you! 😁 NEW SUBSCRIBER FOR SURE.! loved it 🤩 & your bubbly personality is EVERYTHING!
Hiii! Thank you 🥹🍂🧡
Great deal perfect and, to be honest you decorated
It beautiful!! And by no means does it look like it's small to me.. I love it!
aww thank you! 💖
so cute!! how/ where did you find this place?
Loving how greaful you are about your space🖤
Thank you for watching ☺️ 💕
This is so very nice and well decorated!
Great tour. Great decor. I’m just wondering why the island is so high. Islands are usually the same height as the counter tops. Excellent video!
I agree! I do wish It was the same height as the counter 👀
girl this apartment is SO CUTE! Where did you find this.!?!!
aw thanks love!! 🫶🏼 Zillows hidden gem!
You got an amazing deal on this apartment! wow! beautiful and for an awesome price! How did you find this apartment?

@@EvelynDiaz Thanks for checking & linking what you could find!❤️
Can you share how you found this? Craigslist, local paper, fb etc? This is literally my dream apartment/back house ❤
Zillow actually! Just stay checking constantly 🩷🩷
Can’t you link the Tv mount you used and also the couch plssss it’s gorgeous
Of course!! Linked in the description box ☺️❤️
That island is absolutely breathtaking! Does your mom have a storefront?
You scored! Def. A steal at $1300!
I know I’m so grateful! ☺️🙏🏼
Love the layout and flow of the space ✨
thank you love!! 💕🥺
Love your place, super cute and clean! ✨🫶🏼
Your place is really nice and well decorated. How did you get a studio like this? What listing did you use?
thank you so much!! 🫶🏼 I used Zillow
Your energy is so beautiful ❤❤❤
thank youuu 🥹💖
Can I ask, how did you find this back house/studio? I’m currently searching for something similar? Thanks.
Zillow!
Very cute home. Why don’t you move the counter stools to the opposite side of the island so it’s not in the way when you are cooking?
It’s amazing what we take for granted. Some of us have always had washer/dryers so it’s strange when people say they are grateful to have one. 😅 Beautiful home tour.

Target! 🥰 it’s a planter
@@EvelynDiaz of course, target has everything! Thank you 😏
Do you happen to have a link? I’m sorry for all the questions. This is exactly what I was looking for.
Lol no worries! I linked it in my description box 🥰 I believe it might be sold out but I also added a very similar one for you
Love how you made it your own space and decor 👌❤️

Hey girl, love your video. I quit my job recently and posted a UA-cam video about my 2,500 studio in NY. Keep up the hard work and great video. I subscribed 🌞
Not sure if it’s already been answered but what part of LA is this, is it safe and is a price point like this still possible?
Super place! Enjoy your beautiful home 🏡
Thank you!! I really appreciate my little home 🥰🥹
Can you share with me the building name ?im moving next month to LA and I love it and live the price 🙏😍
So cute!!! Under bed storage works great.

Question do you think someone who makes 950 bi weekly can afford apt that’s around the same or 1,500 plus if they save three months of rent so about 3,600 ?
Tbh might be a little tight since you need to account for other expenses too ( bills, food, fun etc) 😣
To be clear, this is an ADU right? Seems like an awesome living situation and you decorated it beautifully, congrats!
Yes! Thank you Helena🥰❤️
Such a great steal! Where did you find this place on?
I was attached to Zillow for weeks lol the best places get taken so quick 😣
I’m so proud of us, millenials and gen z, we’re doing so good at interior decorating on so little with much smaller spaces. I hope those exploitative places like Ashley’s go out of business.
that’s a steal!!!!
BEAUTIFUL place young lady!!! Keep it up! You have such a sweet demeanor.😍😍😍
Thank you Barbara!! 🥹💕 it took a lot of home goods & target trips to get it this way haha I appreciate it so much! ✨
You can purchase flat storage bins for clothes and shoes and put them beneath your bed…
great idea 🤔I’m about to go get some this weekend!!
you seem so happy!

Do u have assigned parking?
Nice place and you've done a great job decorating the place!

That’s a good idea! I will try to film one soon! 🤓
Hi where did you find this place im lookinh for apartmenta also
Zillow (:
Ok HOW did you find this for $1300? In-unit washer & dryer and dishwasher?? What site did you use to apartment hunt? 🥺
I’m very grateful!! Zillow 🥰 I have a video up on my channel answering some questions on it!
What's the address or name of this apartment complex? I'm trying to find one in that price range.
Beautiful apartment honey. YOU LUCKED out I live in Miami and that apartment would go between 23 and 25 000 a month. God Bless and enjoy
Love it...So Clean And Tidy And Nicely Decorated :)
Thank you!❤️ Took many target & home goods trips 😅😇
I could be wrong but isn't your island backwards? Love your video! Thumbs up!
The island moves around! But we have the stools facing the tv for us 😊
Do cute and cozy. Without a bedroom door, I believe this would be called a junior bedroom:)
Whoaaaa. This is a STEALLLL! How I wish I could live somewhere like this. I would move tomorrow lol. How'd you find this place?
Lol through Zillow!! I just had to basically check for updates every 5 min 😅 also negotiating helped a lot
@@EvelynDiaz genius! Tysm!!!
Super cute place! Very nicely decorated!
Thank you! I tried haha 🥰
where in LA is this?
