To all those who were concerned about Veto not being able to sleep in my bed, after a year and three months, he built up the random courage last night to come up the stairs on his own to sleep in my bed with me 😂. Getting down was quite easy for him all of a sudden, but he did it again tonight- thank you all for supporting him and giving him the extra push to be brave lol
@sofiarossi1434 Your home is great! I was confused though since you mentioned 1:51 that you paid the builder to construct the house but also pay rent? How does that work? is the rent for the land?
Wow, impressive 23 year old... owning her own practical, affordable, nicely designed home all done on her terms. And with a good dog too. Love her priorities.

@@yayyayyayyyyayyay I answered this! All liquid waste drains into my gardens and all solid waste is collected in a composting bag and is disposed of regularly. It never smells because a small fan runs on it 24/7.
@@yayyayyayyyyayyay You must not watch very many Tiny vids. The vast majority have composting toilets & they all say that three is no odor because they have externally vented fans.

Why all the snarky comments on this one? She's a smart lady, happy and living the life she wants. That should be enough for anyone. I think her home is beautiful, and the video looked very professional too.
I think her home is beautiful and that she is a smart, accomplished young lady. I Also think that some people on this globe are jealous, male chauvinist pigs, haters, and just plain Stupid. It is apparent by some of these comments in this thread.
Thank you! Sofia here- it’s enough for me and all that matters! (Plus, if I really cared to follow everyone’s opinions, never would I have ever ended up living in such an untraditional home LOL)
Sofia, I, too, live tiny in the same amount of space as you. I’m proud of you and your intelligence, sister. It took me many years to figure out that less is more. Thank you for showing your smarthome with biglove ❣️
The Mexican tile back splash and the gallery wall are wonderful and add a lot of style and personality to Sophia's home. The house is wonderful! (Veto looks very similar to my dog Wally.) Thanks for the tour! 💗
Wow! I am so impressed with how well thought-out every part of this tiny home is & how much she knows about her home! How many of us can say we know as much about ours?! Plus, she has nade great choices for our planet & also minimizing her expenses! Ok, I am very impressed with this young lady, period. Only 23? This gal will have a life - a very good life - of her choosing & whoever raised her should be very proud!! She has her s**t together & is well in control of it. Good job, girl!😉 (Snarky people & jealous ones need not reply.) I'm an "older woman", so couldn't live in that compact space & the stairs...Ugh! (Maybe a slide for down & bigger staircase outside? LOL) I love that every single inch of space is put to good use, fitting an amazing amount inside! And the books! I love my books & would HATE to give them up "going tiny" ~ this many, I could do. 1 thing that makes me sad is that her dog can't go upstairs to her bedroom with her.😥 Is this cuz' stairs are too dangerous, slippery? If that's it, could you just stick little carpet squares (cut in 1/2) on the stairs, giving dog non-slip traction for paws? Just a thought. (My dog & cats would make me sleep down on the pull-out to get any sleep! I'm...uh... well-trained.) Congrats to you, so smart & self-aware.🥹 You will go far & your tiny home can go with you... Good job! Do what makes you & your dog happy!
Hi! Sofia from the video here. Thank you so much for the lovely comment. My parents are reading all of these comments too and are very proud (could not have done any of this without their support). And as for my dog, he is very happy sleeping on the couch and his bean bag because the stair gaps are too scary for him. We both sleep much better separately, but we have a cuddle routine every morning and night :)
@@sofiarossi1434 Awwww...so glad to hear about the snuddle sessions!🥰🤗 I can see where - especially going down - would be scary for a dog. Plz give him a head rub/hug for me. I always mean everything I say, BTW. And I wish you the very best life has to offer! Great parents - kudos to them too!
SO happy to see that you didn't let your first builder shatter your tiny house dreams either. Upper Valley Tiny Homes did the same thing to my first $20K tiny home deposit in 2017 and it took me awhile to bounce back financially but I achieved my tiny home dreams in 2022.
What a sweet little place! I would be interested to know where in Los Angeles she is renting space. Finding a spot to park a tiny home in So Cal is very challenging. This location seems very reasonably priced.
I love Sofias home. Love her dog too! What a beautiful home. Love the tiles. It’s beautifully well built. Nice to see a woman who’s smart and has a good head on her shoulders. Love this home.
Beautiful! As the mom of a 23-year-old and an almost 25-year-old, I can fully appreciate the extraordinary accomplishment of being a home-owner at this age... and what a fabulous home it is!! Congratulations🤟🥰
Wow! I really like this little house. It looks larger than it actually is too! Loved the tiles, the shower, the bookshelves. I could live their and be happy!
Congratulations on achieving a milestone accomplishment of home ownership at 23 years old 🎉! She fully researched the tiny home lifestyle and made great decisions. I appreciated her clarification and explanation of Noah Certification vs. RV Certification.
I love that yellow sink! Very cool. Nice to have your own "portable" house at age 23! And with solar, too! I don't have running water where I live either, and it is amazing how thrifty one becomes when you have to haul all your water by hand! I figured out that on average I use about 8 litres a day - so about 2 gallons per day. That doesn't include for doing the bulk of my laundry. But by wearing the same thing every day for several days, other than hot summer days, I reduce the amount of laundry I have to wash. Not everyone's lifestyle, but it allows me to live on a very small income. We each make tradeoffs that work for us! Well done with this house!
Me, too... i have no running water inside my house, and the laundry is a shared place that unfortunately has become a point of contention with a couple of other tenants here, so i try to avoid needing to do much washing. I air out my clothes on an outdoor clothesline between wearings, but unless i work up a sweat, i see no reason to wash with every change, or to change clothes every day. (Once you get into this habit, travel becomes really easy... just wear what you wear with one backup!) I get by on one or two laundry loads a month. I have a feeling that many people think that's just weird... but hey! Once you try it you find it very practical, and there's not one thing wrong with it that anyone can see or smell. I admit that i AM happy in a little-things kind of way when i change to a fresh outfit!
Great tour-very smart homeowner! Loved everything-and what a handsome dog❤The two of them are living their best life! The idea of not having to pay an electric bill every month is really pushing me to do this.
I liked how smart she was. I built my own tiny home and yes get a big sink. I would love to hear more about solor and water off grids. I have electric, water, sewage. I wasn’t sure going tiny and off grid all at once what to expect now I love tiny I want to go off grids. I bought my land in Branson and my home and land would have to stay with plumbing
I could never live in small homes being a big guy and having claustrophobic but that being said I do enjoy these videos because of the creative ideas it's entertaining seeing how people live in this lifestyle
Great home. NOAA cert very good idea. You’ve got a great layout, including a washer/dryer & spiral staircase. Your dog is great. He’s very loyal and very, very, protective. I hope he’s got Shepard skin & doesn’t have their hips. I think it’s great that the fan works to keep your cool most of the time. For me, I’d have blinds on all of the skylights, and have them on remote. I’d also be running the mini split a lot. I run warm. I don’t know where in LA you found a place to land AND got it for $600 a month. That’s amazing. Blessings.
Good for you! So impressive & so happy that you’re happy. I pay more for monthly maintenance fees in my condo apartment than you pay in rent for your tiny. 👍🏻
Sofia, I like 👍🏽 your home 🏡 my only negative honey 🍯 is the spiral staircase 😮🤯. Is there any lighting 💡 in the middle of the night 🌙 you 🫵🏽 can use to go down the stairs safely in case you would like something to drink or eat ?
I am so impressed with this video! I don't know if you designed it or if they designed it but I like the way you did the decor and I thought you were so thorough with your video it was very informative. Congratulations on the house! I would love to know what the parking situation is for you, it seems like you're just about 100% off grid but are you paying to park someplace?

Hi! All liquid waste drains out into my gardens and solid waste is collected in a bagged bucket where I dispose of it properly. It never smells because there is a fan running 24/7, I put pine mulch in the bag to give it a woodsy smell on top of that which is quite perfumey, and when I take it out, I just remove the bucket, tie up the bag, and get rid of it properly!
