Your smile and how your eyes smile is just so beautiful, you actually radiate such positive vibes. The apartment is cute and I like how you have everything thought through yet somehow you still have quite lots of light and area to move freely. Hope everything goes well for you🩷
Careful about keeping your mattress directly on the floor. They need airflow, so mold will develop underneath if you sleep on it directly on the floor.
@@superlynniethat’s subjective. Whats your definition of average income? What’s the cost of real estate/rent where you live? Whether average or high income earner, why would this be considered really bad?
@@jlynn6465because it’s not a CHOICE. In HK, this is all most people can afford if not less. That’s why it’s bad. The housing is so expensive and bad, that the only option most people have are apartments like this, some which are literally smaller than a parking lot.
I remember watching your flat hunting in HK video YEAAARRSS ago and talking in your comments when we both had like 100 subscribers. It is so nice to see this pop up on my feed!
I love it. If you're not very rich it's now hard to get a reasonably sized flat in places like London and Hong Kong. I lived in a studio flat for years. I organised/decorated it well (thanks IKEA), it was well-located for work and affordable. And most importantly, I was very happy there.
@@maryamm_7 The same everywhere now. When I moved you could afford shelves, cupboards, a mattress (never again) in one trip without feeling faint. At some point they seem to have seriously whacked up their prices. Quality still the same though. Shame.
Hey bro, can you tell me what these flats provide, I mean any furniture or anything or just they provide an empty room? Would be a great help for me. Please if you tell me more about these flats.
@@ritvizi_ 99% just an empty room BUT “landlords” would provide air con & electric water heater for showering. U need to buy yr own furniture and other electronics appliances.
I understand how this place could be claustrophobic for some, but I personally love small living spaces. It allows me to utilise the space as efficiently as possible and to make it look super cosy. Something about small flats will always be cute and cosy to me. 😂
@dejaysam How much space would be perfect for you? I live solo and I feel about 300ft2 would be perfect for me. I lived in a 500ft2 studio in NYC and it was way too much space. I now have a one-bedroom outside NY that is 600ft2 and I don’t like all the space I am not using. It also encourages me to have a lot of things I don’t need. I prefer not to have a roommate situation bc I do prefer living alone. I don’t plan to renew my current lease. I want to downsize.
This is so cool i love seeing normal peoples lives & how they live & stuff. The worlds so big yet so small in the sense were all humans and just tryna survive and enjoy what little we have with the time we got. So wholesome
Nice place, so homely. Congratulations to moving to the new place. That monster building many people go there for photos no? I might pop by one of these weekends, I hear there is a arabica near by.
Your iMac wants a clean for sure. And the grey one looks nice too. I have it in blue :) And I would be so claustrophobic in your room but it's quite nice compared to other room tours I saw in Hong Kong that are not for the upper class.
As a chronic claustrophobic, this is my worst nightmare. You are lovely for staying you are "so lucky" and grateful but there's NOTHING wrong with wanting better for yourself... esp living standards.
Thanks for sharing. We have some places like this in some cities in the States as well. The landlords are coming under scrutiny though because it’s see. As unsafe for the tenants. Like if there’s a fire or something. You did a great job with the space though. Congrats on your new place! ❤
I have a friend that lived in Ireland and he used to live in a similar arrangement, but it was a house... But then if I'm not mistaken the people in the same floor would share the bathroom, so here you actually have more privacy...
Good for you for being so positive but can’t help feeling sad for today’s youngsters in HK. I grow up in HK in the 80’s before moving to NY in my teenage years. My family had very little to start with but my parents worked hard to go from renting a shared flat of 400 sq feet to buying a 700 sq feet flat an flipping that to a 900 sq feet flat on the island at Kennedy Road. I remember my room was about 100 sq feet at the rental but was able to get to about 150 later. How time changes. HK today is not the city I love and grow up anymore.
I’d thrive her for sure! I LOVE small space living! My place is 200 sqft (for what would be around 1300 usd (converted), so larger than yours but still small, however I adore it!!!
This looks v comfy to me and I think you did the best you could with what you had. Personally, I'd buy a few more uniform boxes for the shelf, so it looks less cluttered but that's the only nit I have to pick.
Instead of watching home tours of large spaces, I tend to watch people of meagre/barely above income showing their room tours like these. Because I learn so much about using the minimal space adequately, smart buying of miniature furnitures, and still making them look comfy and elegant.
Your flat is really neat and tidy!! 😘 I lived in the standard flat in Fok Cheong building with my family with max 6 ppl. The flat is very small but cozy. The location is very convenient with few big shopping centres, MTR stations and also the waterfront in Quarry Bay park! Hope you enjoy your life in HK ❤
I love it. So cute that you arranged everything neatly. I can live with this because it has a big window. That is all I need even if the room is small ❤
It's fab, thank you for sharing, I lived in Stanley for a few years. I always wanted to see into one of these high rise blocks, You've done it so good.....sending kisses from London....I have subscribed and will look forward to your journey...😘
We enjoy your every video. We thank you for giving us more knowledge about Hong Kong and we hope to make more videos with more beautiful content. We are following your videos from today. Your every video helps us to make better projects after studying the Hong Kong market.
As a French I can say that we’re really not used to this types of big buildings full of people 😮 that is so fascinating for me and also a bit scary haha But even if it’s small, it’s well organized
Hi, first of all thank you for introducing us to your apartment. I have the utmost respect for people who can live in confined spaces. The houses remind me of the game Stray, which I love to play.
I love your tiny space. Mine is around twice as yours and due for a renovation. No plans of moving out since a tiny place suits me fine. Got new ideas for the renovation based on your flat. Good luck on your new place. 😊☘️
Your such a beautiful lady ,being Independent is not easy but you learned a lot of things being alone and do a lot of what you want to do having a space by your own hope that keep up the good work to achieve your dream . I work in hk when i was 20 years old as a domestic helper i leave there in Kowloon our house also tiny but i enjoy and i have alot of memories in hk i love hk and i miss hk .
wow, es del tamaño de mi habitación en mi casa… quiero llorar por el bendito gran espacio y patio que tengo ❤🥹 diferentes estilos de vida y necesidades supongo
Question about the bathroom: when you shower, doesn't everything get significantly wet? The toilet, the sink etc? How do you manage that? Huge props to you for making the most out of the space you have, btw!
It definitely gets wet everywhere so you just have to move things like toilet paper to a higher shelf and then turn on the ventilator after you're done so the bathroom can dry off :)
Excellent location to live in but you need a bigger space, even if slightly bigger. Then you need to organise it and make the most out of the space even more, leave some space in the middle empty if you can and put more mirrors to make it look and feel better, I wish you the best girl, stay healthy and please put bed frame under that bed so it doesn’t mold. Stay strong and have fun!✌️
Can’t believe smth pretty & cozy like this is inside that bldg, went there last december for our trip and honestly the hype didnt lived to it as I saw it in person huhuhu I’m sorrryyyy and also lost on my way for 4x 😭🤣
It's small but not that bad compared to some awful places in HK. Never been there but i saw some videos about housing crisis especially for people with very low incomes. Your place is nice and clean
I think it’s perfectly good place to live. My dorm room was not bigger than this - kitchen. My kitchen was shared. And I’ve studied in one of the best universities in England…. And it wasn’t even in London. So her room is very normal
Bless your heart you are so adorable. The rice cooker comment made me laugh so hard, it totally caught me off guard. Someone asked what a place this size costs... did you reply? I know you've moved, but I'm curious. ❤
Oh, well, you’re so sweet and pretty and you have such a calm voice😘. But seeing this place, I should apreciate more mine’s which I always thought about it that is crowded and narrow. How can you shower there? I can imagine the water going all over the toilet and the sink. And the rent is so expensive for what this room offers😢.
personally, i love how compact the flat is bc every surface is used properly. the natural light is definitely a big plus!!
Yesss the big window makes a world of a difference for sure!
Your smile and how your eyes smile is just so beautiful, you actually radiate such positive vibes. The apartment is cute and I like how you have everything thought through yet somehow you still have quite lots of light and area to move freely. Hope everything goes well for you🩷
Thank you so much for your kind words!❤️
Careful about keeping your mattress directly on the floor. They need airflow, so mold will develop underneath if you sleep on it directly on the floor.
Yea it would be good if she can place a wooden tatami deck beneath the matress
Idk, I have mine on the floor for years and there was never mold in it
@@ClaraGD Hongkong have humid climate.
@@ClaraGD not all mold is visible.
Her positivity is pretty cute, honestly.
Having this type
Of space helps with not over consuming and buying too much “stuff”. I like it!
I think it's nice when it's a choice. This is all you can afford on average income, this is really bad.

Yes IKEA for the win 🙌
Ikea is so expensive in my country :(
@@maryamm_7 The same everywhere now. When I moved you could afford shelves, cupboards, a mattress (never again) in one trip without feeling faint. At some point they seem to have seriously whacked up their prices. Quality still the same though. Shame.
@@AbbyA-z6jnope it’s not the same everywhere. you’re entitled to say this. in some countries shopping at ikea costs a whole years wage.
@@فلسطينحرة-ث9ض In the UK it's not quite a whole year's wages yet. But the recent increases on some items have been shockingly steep.
As a local Hong Konger, I can tell this subdivided flat is “quiet” big for living alone. I saw many other subdivided flats were smaller than this.
Yep I was pretty lucky to get a space like this
Hey bro, can you tell me what these flats provide, I mean any furniture or anything or just they provide an empty room?
Would be a great help for me.

🫢
I was thinking that. I’m an introvert and this is perfect for me
Lots of bright light coming in and love the white bedsheets! 😊
Yes! Thank you!
Nice space as long as all your necessary needs is within the vicinity of the building❤
Yes I really loved the location of this building so much!
Nice place, so homely. Congratulations to moving to the new place. That monster building many people go there for photos no? I might pop by one of these weekends, I hear there is a arabica near by.

U can make better use of space if u raise ur bed up, kind of like bunk bed
yeah, a loft adds a lot of spcae
Although it looks so tiny, also it looks so comfy🥰

Thank you for your kind comment 🥰
So they took a normal apartment with three rooms and divided it into three apartments to make more money? This is legal? That’s crazy in my opinion!
Welcome to Hong Kong or Asia !!!
Not all places are legally built but this is legal in HK and quite common
So people have a place to live. It's an overpopulated area.
If you think that's bad, check out Hong Kong 'coffin homes'. Pretty much just the size of her bed....seriously.
I have a friend that lived in Ireland and he used to live in a similar arrangement, but it was a house... But then if I'm not mistaken the people in the same floor would share the bathroom, so here you actually have more privacy...
I absolutely love it, the saying goes less is definitely more ❤❤❤
Atleast she is independent

Good for you for being so positive but can’t help feeling sad for today’s youngsters in HK. I grow up in HK in the 80’s before moving to NY in my teenage years.

Thank you and hope your renovations go smoothly :)
The most important thing is she keeps it clean
The natural lighting is a big plus
You can use a shelf for your mattress, so that the bottom can be used for storage

Congratulations Ashley. I wish that you 're going to continue being happy in your Home (Monster Building). Greetings From Brasil. 🙏
Regardless of the size of the apartment, what's important is your privacy and a place you'll be comfortable with.
u could get a levitated bed that reaches up until that window and put tons of storage underneath. cute apartment btw!!
I definitely considered this but unfortunately the room was too tight to fit a bedframe 🥲
@@AshelyKim if the walls are concrete some strong triangle shaped shelf holders and a plank might do it.
The video started and first thing was.... Aww she is cute ✨🦋

Yes there are definitely worse places out there in HK and I'm grateful I found this place 🫢
Nice video ❤
I love that you have your own bathroom. Cause I am someone who loves to take long shower. I think I can live here for a few years honestly.
Having your own bathroom is super important for sure 😩
This is a nice cosy apartment for hk standards
Thanks for this video!
Thanks for sharing!❤
Thanks for watching!
Over the door hook units are sanity savers.
Very nice! I probably stend up the bed with some storage unite under that. 😊
Would have loved to do so but I had no space to fit a bed frame haha
It's a decent room for a student single person really good

Her view out the window is interesting.
The bathroom and the natural light are great compared to a bunch of hong kong apartments I've seen
And after watching this, I ended living !!!!!!
I just want to give you a warm hug ❤

It looks pretty decent for a small place. Bathroom's reasonable despite the size, at least your showerhead isnt above the toilet bowl.
