The ambulance guy thought of Everything and the pink apartment totally suits that girl. It’s super cool how creative people will get to live in the areas that they want to live in!
Pretty cool right they both are awesome!
What is your Instagram Bianca ?
Even though you live in a small house everyone that I seen on his UA-cam and his shorts they live really good even if they live in a small house they're so cute
664 likes ^^ :)
Respect to the ambulance guy
She really did a lot with that $500 apartment so props to her. My only gripe would be the lack of windows/light. I get depressed easily, and a lack of sunshine makes it way worse.
I have a daughter and the pink pans made me giggle! Remembering the purple/pink years!
And also that mechanic shop next door is kind of an inconvenience 😅
@@lsmith7461 Unless someone needs their car worked on; they can see if they're really working on it.
"Yeah, we've been on it all day."
"Bitch, please, I live right next door, you haven't touched my car."
If that was me then I'd go for walks, go to parks during the day and basically just use that place to freshen up/ sleep in.
Totally agree, I get really down if I can’t see the sun…
Her apartment fits her and her personality so well. It’s the size of a dorm but that ambulance is decked out! One of the nicest apartments I’ve seen in the city 😅
Thank for watching!
broooooo how do i see you everywhere jesus
@@B_Bunny_ oh just Cus he’s a great UA-camr 😊
@@miekemooo that’s true, but i meant the person that commented khalilah d. I see her comment on a lot of places so thats why
@@CALEBWSIMPSON Does he have a Water Bill? Utilities?
The spice rack, kitchen sink, and shower in the ambulance house was super luxurious. This guy deserves an f ton of credit for the hard work he put into this ambulance.
Love these people who are happy living in a place they can afford. Real winners, both of them.
The poor lady is probably inhaling all types of toxins in that place.
no they're not. they're being fucked over by a shitty economic system and it makes me sad.
I could live in my camper and never go home
Yea but she deserves a bigger place with at least a kitchen nook and window with fresh air, not a metal shop. I wouldn't pay 500 for that. I feel for her or anyone who's renting a place with such limitations.
@@fighterjoe22 I Agree! I think we are being brainwashed into thinking this is how we are all going to be living in the future. Like a roll of toilet paper the roll gets smaller while the cost skyrockets.
This girl by far has utilized every single inch of space she has efficiently. Washing dishes in the shower - clever. ❤ this girl’s creativity in putting her place together!
Not creative enough to have a decent sized room
@@rrtttfthxg2143thats called having money
@@EpicCoolUsername Yeah and smart people have money
@@rrtttfthxg2143 boooo! tomato tomato tomato! no assholes allowed
@@rrtttfthxg2143 90 percent of influencers should be homeless
I am very impressed by the resilience of these two homeowners/renters.
Love that ambulance and for $500 a month, that pink apartment is a dream.
Yeah. A nightmare. 😆
Yeah, people thought that was bad? Someone In the house I was living in had an actual closet a third of the size for 500...in the hood.
What an expensive cost of living in New York, like the house rental because here in the Philippines you can rent a house with 2 bed rooms for a cost of 300$.
She has a personal bathroom, that's actually amazing. The lack of a private bathroom is what turns me off from these places.
$500 a month for rent in 2022 and in the big city? I spend more than that a month for groceries =-0
The positive vibes and attitude is what makes these people great ! Making the most of what you have
yes but they fake it lol
aww you did her apartment again. I think everyone loved her. Shes so cute 😊
Agreed! It’s pretty practical
She’s super adorable and so is her place. She made a cute, comfy little home out of that small space.
Yess I loved her 😍😍
what you think is inaccurate then
She is SO cute! What do you mean did her apartment again? He filmed her apt before??
Her place is adorable, and she did a great job decorating it!
Yes very pretty
Yes i would really want to live in that
I'm really impressed by this young lady just taking a chance with the owner of the building, because I've heard how expensive New York is. And especially having a bathroom in her apartment. Good for her. She'll go far in life.
She's probably inhaling all types of toxins in that place..
I’ve seen some of these other units for small studios like that going $1k+. $500 is a steal.
It’s a key in life if you don’t ask you may never get! The worst they can say is no!
Then don’t live in New York
I'm a single, 43-year-old father who resides in Hamburg. If everything continues to go well for me, I intend to retire at age 50. I couldn't be happier right now than I am that I just bought my first house last month. I'm so happy that I made wise choices that altered my life forever.
Salutations, dude. At your age, you're doing extremely well. I'm 54 years old, and right now my finances are a mess. Any helpful advice would be greatly appreciated in helping to mold my life. I want to buy a home of my own.
I greatly appreciate it. I'm fortunate to have come upon your message because investing greatly fascinates me. I'll look Jenny up and send her a message. You've truly motivated me. God's blessings on you.
The ambulance dude's story is one of the best on this channel, he's smart and creative, and when he's made it big he can use the ambulance for road trips lol
He’s my nephew, thank you for the compliment on him!
@@cindykeith1717 he's my brother
@@cindykeith1717 no problem!
@@aryshorts3888 He’s my dog
@Carolyn Holy sh*t
I LOVE how he makes her comfortable with what she's got, showing her she nailed it! And she's so organised, chill and determined. Loved the video
She said "it's not that bad of a struggle" love that comment. Perspectives people.
I'm so impressed by the guy who renovated the ambulance! He did an amazing job!
She’s adorable like her little apartment 💖
She would do really well in a tiny home on wheels tbh. She segmented her space out so well
these are the people that do the most with what they have and its really impressive and very cool to just look at because they have very minimal space, but still manage to balance out their money with necessities, decor, etc. and they always manage to be the coolest people to be around! probably the best video he’s ever done! 🧡
Not everyone has the same opportunities.
Doesn't mean other people that have less to work with are bad .
Some can't even afford a tent and can't find cool things but they may still have a good eye.
They might be visionaries and you'd never know it by their circumstances.
Don't give up on being creative no matter who you are.
If everyone was able to give the best of what they have in them the world would be pretty sweet.
The apartment is fantastic. The tall ceilings and plants give it a feel of being bigger than it actually is. One of the best of the small apartments you’ve featured.
Both people definitely have everything working out for them. I do hope some day that Egypt gets to have a bigger, better apartment.
I’m sure she will lol she looks like she’s 21 at the oldest . 😂
Youngsters making it through this tough life that positively is just jaw-dropping!
The Ambulance idea was genius. It looks soo clean organized and well built too. Damn.
Very Strawberry Shortcake-esq. Tiny, but cute. I'm pretty sure I wouldn't be able to handle something that tiny, but she makes it work. She seems super sweet.
Caleb your shorts are really fun and your full videos are well produced, you have a great interview style and appreciate how many unique people you have showed us on your channel! Pink hair girl is beautiful, if she doesn't mind the noise next door than her place is better than sharing with annoying roomies, it's cute and well decorated. The ambulance is next level! I can't believe he built everything himself, it's so well designed I can defenitely tell he's a perfectionist who can do it all!
❤❤ appreciate you
Some people have skills and talent
“Pink hair” girl has a name!! 😂😂😅😅
He seems nice, too!
Egypt girl has a amazing personality. Her apartment is so cute just like her 💖💕needs to be on this channel permanently.
Does she have a channel?
I love her place! To be in NYC and not have to share a bathroom is a freaking miracle!
Now this was wildly interesting. I think both of them are very resourceful and props to them for making their small homes look comfortable.
Two resourceful kids. Love to see it. The young lady's punk apartment is like a cute little dorm. I just pray she is safe.
About 20 years ago I was living in a very cheap apartment. It allowed me to save money and I bought a home. I wish everyone could have the opportunity to live in a safe, cheap apartment for a time. It's a golden opportunity if you play your cards right.
It's absolutely adorable I mean the creativity that this girl has is amazing if you're on a fixed budget she shows you how you can make it
Both of these people have places that fit their personalities. The pink apartment is adorable and she loves it. The ambulance is awesome!
I can believe both really cook by looking at their pantry stuff. I link the pink themed apartment, so cherry. I like the ambulance handmade interior, so inventive. I love this series.
Pink young lady was lucky to get that place for $500. The owner doesn't gouge like other landlords. She was smart to have asked for permanent live in rent after an Airbib experience. If I was young like these 2, I'd live in a tiny place.
The way she has her apartment set up is perfect and even allows her to have a cat. By the way, gorgeous cat! Mini kitchen and bathroom for $500 in NYC is excellent! Maybe a better front door for better security.
If I were her I would never go for a sturdy front door with a nice window that'll allow for some natural light in there. But yeah, she's doing pretty well :)
I’m sure the welding guys next door got her back 😂😂😂
She is such a sweetheart. She deserves someone amazing
So cute that even in a tight space she still gave the cat her own space ❤
if i was living in a place that small, screw the cat im takin over under the bed goddamn
I can't believe how great the ambulance is. Reminds me of the effectiveness of sailboats. And how sweet the tiny apartement is which the girl has made neat for herself. I used to live in a tiny apartment in NYC, There was no opportunity to make it so nice. God bless you guys, and one day you may be able to move into something more spacey! (But you will always remember your sweet small size beginning.)
She has that little $500 apartment decorated so cute! I don’t think anybody could’ve did it better 😊
Pink haired girl is so adorable. Her demeanor is so gentle and childlike.
There’s actually NOTHING wrong with her apt. It’s perfect for a young lady living on her own
I’m definitely overpaying by $400 😊and I also live in Brooklyn. I love how she organized her place 😊
When you live in a tiny apartment you somehow have to make it cute, bubbly, lovely, colorful, girly etc or anxiety could get you really bad there.
That tiny apartment is awesome and she probably saves so much money!
@@sweetLemonist or be me, have severe ADHD and perma brain fog, and don't fully register your surroundings 😅My brain is liek a broken camera, the world is always out of focus, so I could have tumbleweeds of hair on my floor and not care because I don't notice them. And my uni room looked like smth you would see in Half Life 2, not nearly as nice as Lifeline girl has it🤗
I love her vibe so much, I hope she continues to do well.
The only thing that sucks is her window doesn't open to the outside. Otherwise that's pretty awesome for 500 dollars and no roommates in NYC
I think her apt is perfectly fine. She could even add stuff up to the ceiling. She had made it super homey too. I love the ambulance
The girl's space is very nicely done! However people are putting themselves (and landlord) at risk going on social media, since these "apartments" are very likely illegal in NYC. DOB will shut that ish down in a minute. Careful out there folks.
Why is it illegal in nyc?
@@sherlyr5566 there's another small apartment he did a video of with no windows. pretty sure that's illegal. idk about this one though
@@sherlyr5566 a lot of reasons why. you could tell her “apartment” was not meant to be an apartment & being as there’s a whole mechanics shop right on the other side of her wall i wouldnt be surprised if the landlord just had the toilet & shower built into a shop storage unit & listed it as an airbnb. not saying they should remove her, but it’s unfortunate because if someone of the proper authority saw this video they could easily remove her off the premises because its not a permissible living space.
Gov be forcing people to the street, then making homeless illegal💀
It also seems somewhat dangerous. A mechanic shop right next to you with only a tiny window. Stay safe young lady.
Love this guy's extraordinary work with the ambulance.
Kudos to her having the courage to step out and do it on our own cute tiny apartment 👏
I looked at a place super similar to that $500 apartment once and it was in a small town with nothing to offer, heck I once paid more for a room in a home in said small town. She’s paying $500 to live in nyc in her own place and she seems super content, I think that’s a great spot for her, she’s making it work☺️ Who needs a ton of space when you’ve got all NYC has to offer on your doorstep.
This is not an apartment. It is a beautiful room with a bathroom for rent. She did a great job with the decorating.
I’m sitting saying to myself, I’m the only seeing this is a room
I love this! Talk about creativity and being able to live comfortably and affordable
and he did such a good job creating that! I love it. Great job, Eli!! Praying for your continued success as an artist, creative, and adventurer.
Not gonna lie, it's like the perfect living space for my introverted self 😂😂 And for $500 in NYC?! Hella steal
It's $2500 a month to live in metro Atlanta. And it's $1200 a month to live outside Atlanta in Georgia...... business is playing with people....and that's why it seems like society is getting crazier too lol cost of living is sketchy and folks aren't even making enough every week
💯
That ambulance is super fire. Looks very spacious
That ambulance is so nice. Fits Eli perfectly. The young ladies apt is very nice and matches her also. Her cat is cute. Thanks for sharing. ❤
That young lady is more self sufficient than most people I’ve met. The guy in the ambulance is so organized and clean. Yup, not I.

@@capybara9521
How bruh
@@capybara9521 YOU'RE OBVIOUSLY mentally challenged
Yeah he is. I was like "Lady get ur dog's dirty feet off of his couch pillows!!" but she didn't hear me.
When I lived in New York, I had a friend who got bored at work one day and posted an ad on Craigslist for subletting a spot under her dining table. She got hilariously earnest responses inquiring about seeing it right away.
She actually did great with the space she has.. good for her! Love it
I love what you did with an ambulance. I love how you decorated it and designed it. Your ambulance build is one of the best builds I've ever seen. Nice. I would live in it.
The girl did a great job making something lovely of the small space 💖. Unbelievable though that she gets no daylight whatsoever in there, and the only window seems to be the one in the bathroom leading to the workshop next door.
she's super cute and her tiny apt is cozy! i love all the pink, the leaves and the lights. and the kitty!!! but i feel bad that she doesn't have windows or even space to turn around :(
Love the pink apartment, she did an amazing job making it feel homey!💗 Ambulance apartment is pretty cool too.
I'm so proud of this lovely girl, shes young, working, paying her own rent and making the most of the space she has which she has made beautiful. I wish I'd of had her courage at that age! Bless her 🙏 💕
The ambulance guy should just design and outfit live in vans and such. He is so good at it.
Not a bad idea 🤔.
I am impressed a young guy like him who is not a handy man can do all these by himself in 6 months
It's really nice to see a tiny apartment that's "real." I keep seeing these gorgeous, light filled, tiny apartments with high ceilings, and huge windows on 5th floors, inhabited by people who can afford beautiful furniture and finishings. This young woman lives as I did for a long time, having left home totally on my own at 17, and having always chosen to live in big cities. It can be done. But it's not likely to have 10 foot ceilings.
Happy you did another one with her …she is so Zen. That ambulance is 🔥🔥🔥🔥he’s also Zen. Love your content!!
❤❤
The creativity of these people is actually inspirational.
The ambulance one is cool, you can drive it around like a rv so it's basically a portable home.
The small apartment is cute and good for when your on budget. There both very creative.
The second guy is literally living my dream. He can travel and live wherever and whenever he wants to.
I am so proud of these two young people.
I am especially proud of the young lady for her optimism and making her home area work for her and her pet. I really love how charming in it is. And she is really a beautiful soul.
I am especially proud of this young man and his resourceful engineering of rebuilding the ambulance, as an apartment. Gosh those strangers and their dogs were all up and through his house, he was so nice about it.
I pray in the name of Jesus Christ to please keep these people safe out here living in these unconventional living conditions, I pray the Blood of Jesus Christ covers them and keeps them safe and that they excel to better living arrangements, happiness and growth in family in Jesus name I (we) pray, AMEN 👑❤️🙏🏽🙌🏽💕
totally, I would have been upset about the dogs haha!
That prayer is for me too, similar situation, thank you.
@@stephaniebleasdille1199 🙏🏽❤️💕
Amen!
Love them both, so great!
They each are so unique.
The pink was adorable.
The strawberry shower curtain and the pink floor mat worked really well together.
That girl has a great sense of style.
The ambulance, that was great.
I can see his perfectionism.
Great eye for details.
He got form and function down!
Creative people are my favorite!
The ambulance is the best live-in van/truck restoration I've ever seen. I always said it would make more sense to just buy an RV rather that converting a bus or van because none of them had toilets or showers ECT. He actually has all the amenities. I'd def live in that thing. I prefer small spaces like that anyway. If I was a single guy without a wife and kid I'd absolutely live in an RV and travel
I love that pink girls apartment!! She’s so sweet too…Great attitude…I love the ambulance guy too…That was a great build…I will do this one day before I die…❤
So practical and fun love the fact that you’re able to find this people and show their stories. Thank you Caleb 🎉
That ambulance is fantastic. Props to the young woman who has made her tiny apartment work for her. Only in New York can a room be passed off as an 'apartment' though. Those landlords I tell ya....
Love the amb.. everything’s so thought out! Side note.. I have a dog, and I would not have brought my dog in there with me to jump around on his things, I thought that was rude
Me too I wasn't impressed I'm sitting thinking are you serious get that dog off the guys sofa 😂
that 500$ apartment was suprisingly spacious, most apartments i'd think of at that price range would have the bed above with a ladder going to it and a bathroom across the hall shared with 2-3 people
She makes her apartment work perfectly for herself!!!
This was a favorite to see. He literally took everything into account. Awesome 👏🏻
I would immediately move to NYC if I could get an apartment like that, for $500.
In the mid '90's I was making a film and it turned out one of the actors was living in a box truck that the turned into a beautiful home. He was sick and tired of going to auditions in NYC and not have anywhere to change or clean up in between auditions-so he built a traveling home which he'd drive to the auditions! The ambulance idea is great and I love all of that external storage1
Both managed to find a way to make it work for them and seem happy. That's all that matters!
I know her apartment is tiny, but with some upgrades the space could be really functional. For example she could get a couch bunkbed and then be able to have a small entertainment stand on the wall and a little kitchen hightop table. The kitchen could just be a cabinet on top and a counter on the bottom, and ask if a water line could be put in for a sink. Then her clothes could go in a slim wide ward-drobe & she could utilize the front door and window for more light. I would rather live in her space then than ambulance any day.
Sis did that she understood every inch needed to be functional af 💖👏🏾☺️
best small apartment i've seen in new york for that price, full bath, windows, enough room to feel comfy, actually pretty nice
COME ON YOU SPURS
@@Harvey99 YESSIR
Caleb has a great personality.
Loved this interview
And both of their personalities ..the way they explained it all
The dude's "caravan" is really well made, girl's apartment cozy too :)
She’s incredibly attractive.
I LOVE THE PINK KITCHEN SET OMG
Though the video ended abruptly, I loved the smiles at the end and it made me understand how valuable your channel is...
Both of them have very creativly decorated their homes and it fit their personality. I really enjoy these videos. And the girl and alaska are super cute💜
But the ambulance is just genius, its my favorite.
I need more people like him in my life, he is inspiring. Damn, I need to be more like him in the proactivity levels.
And about the first apartment, I love that she is so lovely and kind, and resourceful.
Humble in a way she recognizes how limited her space is, and made the best out of it, like he did.
They are both extremely similar.
The color of the ambulance is sick I love it and I mean this is kismet almost.
She's into pink, him blue, they are both sweet looking and kind..
It's lïke someway the universe put them together at least here. They should meet.
And I loved his neighborhood new lady friend. She's cool.
And yeah my thoughts are everywhere. Bye.
The pink apartment is impressive! I’d say totally worth the $500 with a private bathroom
This apartment is so soft, petite, and feminine. Just like her.
I'd totally live in that pink apartment! The only dealbreaker for me is the workshop nextdoors. The rest? Works for me.
Omg the ambulance is AMAZING well done Eli! I would pay to spend the night in there. When the lady was having a look at th end and let her dog jump onto his sofa I'm thinking seriously u not even gonna tell your dog to get down that rude. And I do like animals but I don't like them on couches and beds especially when u don't even live there 😂
This video finally helped me make my final decision on moving to New York. Due to the girl. I love her place and price. 💕
She's super chill .. Nice Cat 🐈. Let's Go Yankees !!
Love how she organized the space. Question though… is it legal? At first, I didn’t see any windows until the bathroom footage but come to find out the bathroom window leads to the garage 🤦🏻♀️
