Russell, another question, I noticed the 3 entry doors all face out, surely there must be incidents where 2 people leave at same time and hit doors at some point? Trivial I know but just an observation 😁
These apartments are perfect for students n retirees living alone. I could live in one without issue. Less things to clean and less strata levy. The building complex is amazing .
Students will never be able to purchase an apartment in such a location in Moscow. The apartment is good for singles with a good salary. But I don't understand why anyone would buy an apartment that is only suitable for singles, do they plan to stay single forever?
You would probably spill water all over the washing machine with that small sink. Not really suitable for anything, except washing hands. If you want to wash your face with cleaning product you'll have a mess to clean afterwords. It looks nice before you actually live there. It's more suitable to be rented per night like a hotel. For everyday living it would be difficult to live there.
Yes. BTW I cannot see any place or thing to dry your washing like hanging ropes in the balcony or something. And when you need to wash your bedsheets you need external laundry
I agree. These apts are very nice for those who can get along without much. I would think the three connected apartmenrs would require people who are friends or even family.
@@TravellingwithRussellyou should show more micro & mini apartments. I'm not interested in store reviews but the YT algorithm showed me this vid. There are vloggers whose content is mostly abt apartments (E.G. Micro Apartment Life - from Japan, Cash Jordan - from USA/NYC). All the best to you.
Well, if you live alone, perhaps a young couple at the beginning of their journey or a student, then the studio is quite suitable for living. And if you already have a family and a child, then of course you already need a full-fledged apartment.
@@elliotgirl3921 You just need to cook food for two right away 😂 I agree with you, but some couples in Russia actually live in studios, since it is cheaper and more affordable housing than buying a large apartment at once.
These 3 studio apartments were probably purchased to be rented out to tourists and other people coming to the city. This kind of investment is common here, especially in large tourist cities such as Moscow, Sochi, St. Petersburg.
@@elliotgirl3921 Agreed, for living together you really need two separate rooms. Actually I'd say this is quite cramped already to live long term for a single person.

Отличная квартира для мужика, предпочитающего холостяцкий образ жизни! Практически идеальная! Меня всегда удивляли дуралеи с 3-х этажными замками-пылесборниками.) Что нормальному человеку для жизни нужно? Всё в этой квартире есть! Кровать, санузел, кухня! Лежи, смотри ТВ, слушай музыку, читай книги. И убираться легко! И платить меньше за обслуживание квартиры.
Главное, чтобы соседи тихие были, не бухари, не меломаны, не глухие киноманы и не любители громкого секса. А то обычно у таких квартир тонкие стены, слышно кашель, громкое чихание и т.д. Воспитанные и доброжелательные соседи это находка в наши дни. А то пока со всеми не переругаешься, невозможно установить приемлемое проживание. Я сам живу в студии с тонкими стенами. На одних съемщиков наорал сквозь стену, когда музыку врубили в 00:45 и они тихо съехали. С новыми въехавшими тоже поговорить пришлось и с соседями с другой стены тоже договорились. Я так не люблю конфликтов, но приходилось рамсить. А так, хороших нешумных соседей обнимал бы каждое утро вместе с приветствием и ходил бы к ним взаимно на чай. Почему-то люди перестали ценить добрососедство.
Yes, so-called "studios" in new buildings can no longer be less than 28 square meters. The housing inspectorate should monitor all changes made by the owners to the redevelopment of the apartment, but in practice the owners may not allow the inspection into the apartment! Therefore, in real life, almost no one will forbid making 10 apartments with an area of 6 square meters out of a three-room apartment with an area of 60 square meters! In this case, there is a serious violation of fire safety, three doors should not be in this way! If the fire inspector sees this video, the owner will have serious problems!
That is the citizens of the country duty to report to the inspection services ,department of health ,and fire department of violations ,if every citizen help enforce the law every one win

The sink over the washing machine is such a clever use of space! The finishes and attention to detail is really very good indeed! It’s like staying in a posh hotel. Great review and Uri is very cool!
Such an interesting video; thank you for filming it! I’m a 58 y.o. American woman and, post-divorce, I happily live in an under 300 sq ft apartment (but I do also have a private yard). It has everything I need and it’s wonderful to not have much upkeep. My place is a “back house” on the property of my friend of 30+ years, which makes it ideal as we can look out for each other and enjoy each other’s company (when we choose lol!) It’s in Southern California, US, about a half mile from the beach and I pay $1200 a month, which is a STEAL around these parts! 😊
I lived in a 16 sqm micro apartment; I could afford on my own. Otherwise, I would need a roommate. And I didn't want to. At the time I worked at a bookstore and attended university. I was very social and always out with friends. I wasn't home much, just to sleep and shower mostly.

When i compare different places, they have got a lot bigger over the years. This micro apartment really breaks the norm. But there aiming for a certain market and customer.
This apartment is divided for rent in parts. It is easier to rent three small apartments than one relatively large one, since the cost of renting a large apartment will be more than the mortgage payment for it. My sister lived in an apartment of 16 square meters (+2 meters of balcony). It's very small even for one person, so she swapped it for an apartment three times bigger.
I've seen 9 sq meter apartments in Paris for sale. The first apartment I rented in Athens was 26 sq meters and it was adorable. For a single person in a European city, small apartments are preferred. I settled for 39 sq meters and I love it 😻
They look like hotel rooms. There's absolutely no storage space, even for basic things like many clothes, bed linen, towels, books, suitcases, etc, so it's convenient only for someone who wants to stay there for a short time, not for someone who wants to live there for years. Two improvements the owner could make to free up space (I've lived for years in 12-18 sq meters, so I know what I'm talking about) : 1) The bed takes up too much space. The bed mattress could be put on a loft so the space under the bed would be freed. 2) The fridge is too big for 1 person, he could have installed a much smaller fridge (around the size of the cupboards under the sink) and free the entire space above the fridge in order to place the microwave oven and above it have one more cupboard next to the others.
The appartments are lovely. . If the beds folded up against the wall there would be room for exercising.but they are fine for one person. Thankyou for showing us.🦘🦘🦘
I would love the one with open space....outside... forgot name. The apartments are modern and clean..Hey! Russell, you did not tell us how much rent is.
20m² apartments are common in Europe. They're often called a garconniere (bachelor's pad), although that word might have a certain different meaning in some countries 😂 It's an apartment for singles, not couples. I've never heard of one as small as 15m² though. Mostly people buy them with intention to rent them out. No one plans on being single forever. If your parents are rich, you might get one when you move out, but regular people don't bother buying them. They're too much money for such a small space.
As a business/landlord its a great way to maximise your income, 3 rentals, which would no doubt be higher than one rental for all rooms as one house, they are done to a good standard and would suit single people but a couple/family i think would find it hard space wise and just being on around each other constantly. The last one i looked at the gap and thought overweight people risk getting jammed in that gap, yes myself included, but i would happily stay in any of those. Another great video 👍
@@TravellingwithRussell yeah I was very impressed with each of the rooms, Yuri is about the same build as me, but he's far better looking, but again I'm very impressed how they can pack so much into small spaces, would love to see how they did the 9 metres one. Watch a lot of your videos but this one I liked, always worry when I see curtains over radiators that are hot but maybe I'm just a worrier. Keep up the great videos 👍
@@garyclements2821 The radiators are not hot enough to damage the curtains :-) When I lived in an apartment, my cat liked to sleep between the wall and the radiator.
@@garyclements2821 We have very cheap heating. I think that the tenant will pay a maximum of 2000 rubles per month for heating one of the apartments shown in this story. Usually, in apartments and houses in Russia, the temperature is maintained at about 22-25 degrees Celsius (note that radiators with a temperature regulator). The average salary in Moscow is 130 thousand. I live in Siberia in a house made of sip panels, with an area of 180 square meters, and in the coldest winter months I pay 2.5-3 thousand rubles for gas. Together with my wife, we earn about 300-350 thousand rubles a month.
You should realize that this is not the initial design of the apartment. The owner converted a 2-bedroom apartment into three studios for daily rent....
This is perfect. It’s the size of a hotel room but has a kitchen and washing machine. I’m in Moscow for a month at a time living out of a hotel… so something like this would be perfect for me.
I think 1 & 3 i could live easily, but not 2. That was a little to small for me it diddnt feel right But it was so clean, beautiful entrance court yard is gorgeous yh i would be happy Russel big hello to your friend 😅
Ngl I’ve been watching a load of Sims4 builds and when I saw the thumbnail I was thinking it was those… shocked me when a real man walked in. This cc is getting scary good 😂😂😂
I really like this apartment! You could have a small sofa bed and chair instead of the bed. I love the balcony ! It’s like another space to relax and take in the view.
I'm Russian. I will never buy an "apartment" with an area of 20 or 15 square meters. Because these are not apartments, but storerooms. This is a shame caused by the greed of those who divided one, not very large apartment into three parts. There is nothing to admire here. This is a hymn to Yuri's greed. It's a shame. My apartment is 80 square meters (three rooms) and at the same time I don't consider it big (I have a wife and a child). Even my studio apartment (room and kitchen) has an area of 38 square meters. You can't call what Yuri shows you an apartment. Yuri is lying: he himself will never live in such housing. Europeans don't understand this, but Russians buy housing for their family, not just for themselves. Because the meaning of a person's life is his family, which he must take care of. The family will not be able to live in the pantry. I am even sure that this redevelopment (dividing one apartment into three) was not agreed upon and therefore those who buy them will have problems with resale. But it won't be Yuri's problem anymore...
Really quite beautiful little apartments! What a gorgeous area!! And Spotless !!!!! The apartments are lovely..not too sure for more than one person ?? The finish on the buildjng itself and apartments is excellent. Thanks Russell and hi to Yuri....
Loved this video Russel! Thanks!! There is no way I can live in such a small place but that’s just me. I’m absolutely amazed at the washing machine/sink combo! I will have to look up on the internet how that works! Thanks to Yuri for letting us see them!
The layouts of these Micro Apartments are way better than the ones around where I live in the US. for a single person you could easily live there while you get your life situated and what have you. It all boils down to what would a average income be and what other expenses would you have on top of rent, food, internet, phone, cable, etc.
These are really nice, furnished but small studio apartments...I like that each loveseat is a foldout sleeper for someone visiting and that they each have a washer/dryer combo in the bathroom. It's definitely doable.
I wouldn't call it living but you certainly could survive if need be. I'm reminded of an engineer I used to work with who said that, in speaking of the crowded city, he wasn't going to live in an "ant hill". I have to agree with him now that I've reached that age. To each his own.
Agree! it's disgusting! what's next? will they move people to live in coffins? We are not Japan! We don't live on an island! We are the largest country in the world, why are they saving space for housing?
Russell, you know those brand new apartments you did show us there in Moscow I understand each floor different price I wonder if they rental and how much 2 bedrooms. 4th floor and up. If there a Real estate or someone that can help us. 👌🙏 Thsbks Russel 🧚♀️
Agreed. Used to live in a 20m2 place for a while, really did not enjoy it. Too claustrophobic, primarily because it did not have a balcony. It might work if you spend almost all your time outdoors/outside.
My only concern with those would be the micro-apartment doors crashing into each other in the case of everyone getting out in an emergency. I think the 5 metres of corridor could have been used a bit better for the four doors needed, perhaps by opening inwards to the apartments.

У меня есть квартира недалеко от Москвы, но я сделал ремонт не хуже, чем второй вариант этих аппартаментов. Дом тоже новый , но квартира просторнее и все дешевле в разы , чем в Москве)
👏🏻 да
In which city, if not a secret?
@@SwissCHer не секрет ) Зеленоград 👌, это город рядом с Москвой, больше природы и отдыха)
@@SwissCHer по русски называется "Зеленоград". Название состоит из двух слов: "зелёный" и "город".😉👍
@@SwissCHer у меня, кстати друзья из Германии в гости приедут зимой в декабре, они живут в Швейцарии сейчас. Мы с ними поедем в Новосибирск. Я достраиваю свой двухэтажный дом близ Новосибирска , там рядом есть мирового уровня зимний курорт Шерегеш и много курортных зон. Там есть мои родственники и я там иногда бываю). Еще хочу купить квартиру близ Урала в крупном городе и там тоже много зон отдыха, месяц два там пожить неплохо . А так в основном я живу около Москвы, чтобы быстро можно было приехать в Москву.
Wall Dude Looks like a modern take on Michelangelo's David if he lived in Moscow 2024. I could live there in my extreme minimalist living mode.
My family of 7 - dad, mom, five kids lived in a 1100sf house in the 60-70s. Houses are enormous today.
When i compare different places, they have got a lot bigger over the years. This micro apartment really breaks the norm. But there aiming for a certain market and customer.
@@TravellingwithRussell Oh I know. I live in 27 square meters now. I’m retired and just me. I do have a 27 square meter porch as well.
I would rather prefer not bastardized an original 60m apartment
This apartment is divided for rent in parts. It is easier to rent three small apartments than one relatively large one, since the cost of renting a large apartment will be more than the mortgage payment for it.
My sister lived in an apartment of 16 square meters (+2 meters of balcony). It's very small even for one person, so she swapped it for an apartment three times bigger.
smart student living.
I've seen 9 sq meter apartments in Paris for sale.
The first apartment I rented in Athens was 26 sq meters and it was adorable. For a single person in a European city, small apartments are preferred. I settled for 39 sq meters and I love it 😻
They look like hotel rooms. There's absolutely no storage space, even for basic things like many clothes, bed linen, towels, books, suitcases, etc, so it's convenient only for someone who wants to stay there for a short time, not for someone who wants to live there for years. Two improvements the owner could make to free up space (I've lived for years in 12-18 sq meters, so I know what I'm talking about) : 1) The bed takes up too much space. The bed mattress could be put on a loft so the space under the bed would be freed. 2) The fridge is too big for 1 person, he could have installed a much smaller fridge (around the size of the cupboards under the sink) and free the entire space above the fridge in order to place the microwave oven and above it have one more cupboard next to the others.
I'm very impressed I like all three, but the one with the small balcony does it for me.
The appartments are lovely. . If the beds folded up against the wall there would be room for exercising.but they are fine for one person. Thankyou for showing us.🦘🦘🦘
I would love the one with open space....outside... forgot name. The apartments are modern and clean..Hey! Russell, you did not tell us how much rent is.
Wow - awesome, thank you Russell!
I thought you would tell us the price of each?
Perfect studio Apartments, it's the new trend in very big cities
I liked them. Not sure my wife would see it the same way.
Perfect only for single people.
The first one was good, I think it is very clever how they have put the washing machine underneath the bathroom sink.
If you have a big family you could rent three units, have a private foyer and just leave the doors open.
Good idea.
20m² apartments are common in Europe. They're often called a garconniere (bachelor's pad), although that word might have a certain different meaning in some countries 😂
It's an apartment for singles, not couples. I've never heard of one as small as 15m² though.
Mostly people buy them with intention to rent them out. No one plans on being single forever.
If your parents are rich, you might get one when you move out, but regular people don't bother buying them. They're too much money for such a small space.
4:30 magic ✨
Thank you Yuri and Russell.
As a business/landlord its a great way to maximise your income, 3 rentals, which would no doubt be higher than one rental for all rooms as one house, they are done to a good standard and would suit single people but a couple/family i think would find it hard space wise and just being on around each other constantly.
The last one i looked at the gap and thought overweight people risk getting jammed in that gap, yes myself included, but i would happily stay in any of those.
Another great video 👍
Thats why we had Yuri step in the shower to prove it would fit us both. )) Your right, 3 rentals for the price of one apartment originally.
@@TravellingwithRussell yeah I was very impressed with each of the rooms, Yuri is about the same build as me, but he's far better looking, but again I'm very impressed how they can pack so much into small spaces, would love to see how they did the 9 metres one.
Watch a lot of your videos but this one I liked, always worry when I see curtains over radiators that are hot but maybe I'm just a worrier.
Keep up the great videos 👍
@@garyclements2821 The radiators are not hot enough to damage the curtains :-) When I lived in an apartment, my cat liked to sleep between the wall and the radiator.
@@АндрейХорошилов-з3г thanks for that 👍
Yeah I would actually love to live in something like those in the video, would be cost effective and warm 👍
@@garyclements2821 We have very cheap heating. I think that the tenant will pay a maximum of 2000 rubles per month for heating one of the apartments shown in this story. Usually, in apartments and houses in Russia, the temperature is maintained at about 22-25 degrees Celsius (note that radiators with a temperature regulator). The average salary in Moscow is 130 thousand.
I live in Siberia in a house made of sip panels, with an area of 180 square meters, and in the coldest winter months I pay 2.5-3 thousand rubles for gas. Together with my wife, we earn about 300-350 thousand rubles a month.
очень милое и разумное декорирование и мебилировка квартир. Уютно
It’s a great space to use for Airbnb.
If only that worked in Russia. They left a long time ago.
@@TravellingwithRussellWhy was that ? 😊
@@TravellingwithRussell there are dozens of Russian booking and like Airbnb online services.
What a great area! Love the shops and not too far to get to Red Square. I would love it. It's like a nice hotel room.
You should realize that this is not the initial design of the apartment. The owner converted a 2-bedroom apartment into three studios for daily rent....
Only as a tourist, and even that for short periods, 2 weeks at best.
I really enjoyed your video on studio apartments and yes Yuri made the video.
9 square meters... a luxury jail cell
This is perfect. It’s the size of a hotel room but has a kitchen and washing machine. I’m in Moscow for a month at a time living out of a hotel… so something like this would be perfect for me.
Beautiful architecture.
The buildings were amazing for a new build.
@@TravellingwithRussell Yes. So many decorative details. Very unusual in our time. Maybe a prestige project.
Beautiful micro apartment. Good layout maximized the limited size. Thank you for the concept!
You forgot to say what the rent was for each apartment?
the cost of such apartments is about 350-550 dollars per month + utilities, including unlimited Internet - 20-50 dollars
@@ПолБад вы где такие цены на интернет видели? Вы что, с Украины? А цены на аренду из Германии взяли?
New York can learn something from this
I think 1 & 3 i could live easily, but not 2. That was a little to small for me it diddnt feel right
But it was so clean, beautiful entrance court yard is gorgeous yh i would be happy Russel big hello to your friend 😅
Ngl I’ve been watching a load of Sims4 builds and when I saw the thumbnail I was thinking it was those… shocked me when a real man walked in. This cc is getting scary good 😂😂😂
I really like this apartment! You could have a small sofa bed and chair instead of the bed. I love the balcony ! It’s like another space to relax and take in the view.
I'm Russian. I will never buy an "apartment" with an area of 20 or 15 square meters. Because these are not apartments, but storerooms. This is a shame caused by the greed of those who divided one, not very large apartment into three parts. There is nothing to admire here. This is a hymn to Yuri's greed. It's a shame. My apartment is 80 square meters (three rooms) and at the same time I don't consider it big (I have a wife and a child). Even my studio apartment (room and kitchen) has an area of 38 square meters. You can't call what Yuri shows you an apartment. Yuri is lying: he himself will never live in such housing. Europeans don't understand this, but Russians buy housing for their family, not just for themselves. Because the meaning of a person's life is his family, which he must take care of. The family will not be able to live in the pantry. I am even sure that this redevelopment (dividing one apartment into three) was not agreed upon and therefore those who buy them will have problems with resale. But it won't be Yuri's problem anymore...
Better than being homeless isn't it.
@@twigbird6058 Russians could live like UAE citizens
Clever use of space, very nice and cosy. Thanks for sharing.
I personally can't live in a high rise. I used to, not anymore. Some mental hiccups I guess.
There not for everyone, I can understand.
More Yuri on your adventures! ❤
Really quite beautiful little apartments! What a gorgeous area!! And Spotless !!!!! The apartments are lovely..not too sure for more than one person ?? The finish on the buildjng itself and apartments is excellent. Thanks Russell and hi to Yuri....
URI you make us laugh, thank you for showing us around. What is the weekly rent of these apartments
В прошлом году я купил похожую квартиру - студию 18кв.м в 10 минутах пешком от метро и сдаю за 37000р в месяц.
@@mralxandrosify Thanks for the info.
@@mralxandrosifyесли будете еще искать арендаторов свистните мне за такую цену 😅
How they passed the fire inspection? Those entry doors are so wrong! If you open one door it blocks the other two! Very poor design!
How are all of these apartments financed ? They are very nice for sure ! Thanks Russell !
It is small but very well designed. Great decor
Hi Russell thanks for video. Would be really interesting to see new display homes as well like the ones you see in Australia in new estates. Thoughts?
Loved this video Russel! Thanks!! There is no way I can live in such a small place but that’s just me. I’m absolutely amazed at the washing machine/sink combo! I will have to look up on the internet how that works! Thanks to Yuri for letting us see them!
The sink and washing machine combo are very poplar even in bigger bathrooms. Thanks for watching ) Yuri really was a great guy.
A lot old flats in Bucharest are same size but as luxury 😊
These sizes of places really were a thing year ago.
I love the space looking chandelier!
How much does this cost?
Beautifully designed.
Спасибо за прекрасный Обзор, было очень интересно
The layouts of these Micro Apartments are way better than the ones around where I live in the US. for a single person you could easily live there while you get your life situated and what have you. It all boils down to what would a average income be and what other expenses would you have on top of rent, food, internet, phone, cable, etc.
These are really nice, furnished but small studio apartments...I like that each loveseat is a foldout sleeper for someone visiting and that they each have a washer/dryer combo in the bathroom. It's definitely doable.
Washer/dryer combos are a pain. It takes multiple hours to wash and dry a load of clothes.
The Greek guy on the wall kills it.
It's what happens when you let a designer choice the decor.
Under bed storage would really help, i like these tiny apartments. I can see this being a big thing in the future
Beautiful flats
I wouldn't call it living but you certainly could survive if need be. I'm reminded of an engineer I used to work with who said that, in speaking of the crowded city, he wasn't going to live in an "ant hill". I have to agree with him now that I've reached that age. To each his own.
I would be ok to live here alone. No chance with my wife and I together though.
whats the price

Знаешь, Рассел, я поставил лайк, ещё не досмотрев видео до конца, потому что я давно смотрю тебя, и уверен: ты плохого не покажешь!😁
No, I can't, it should not exist.
It was originally a 60 sq meter place, that was separated into 3 smaller apartments.
Agree! it's disgusting! what's next? will they move people to live in coffins? We are not Japan! We don't live on an island! We are the largest country in the world, why are they saving space for housing?
Russell, you know those brand new apartments you did show us there in Moscow I understand each floor different price I wonder if they rental and how much 2 bedrooms. 4th floor and up. If there a Real estate or someone that can help us. 👌🙏 Thsbks Russel 🧚♀️
bigger than many apts in NYC/Manhattan for 4500/mo, or downtown Paris.
Agreed. Used to live in a 20m2 place for a while, really did not enjoy it. Too claustrophobic, primarily because it did not have a balcony. It might work if you spend almost all your time outdoors/outside.
Being from Canada, it’s funny to me that he clearly doesn’t take heating for granted! Oh look! The hallway is heated!!! 😂😂😂
3 doors can't be open at once => fire safety?
My only concern with those would be the micro-apartment doors crashing into each other in the case of everyone getting out in an emergency.
I think the 5 metres of corridor could have been used a bit better for the four doors needed, perhaps by opening inwards to the apartments.
almost like a hotel room, a nice room.
At first, I was thinking the same thing.
Perfect for me ☺️
What is the idea to show apartments and ask would you live WITHOUT knowing the COST of it. Location? Services?
Maybe because Russell is not selling it.
@@lauren6889 I mean what is the rent or sales price. Otherwise no meaning for video
It's nice I would live there if good sound proofing ,thanks for your content
