While I appreciate the host's enthusiasm, she needs to let the person she's interviewing complete their sentences before she jumps in to talk over them. The constant interruptions made their whole interview sound choppy and chaotic. The host needs to stop centering her reactions and allow the conversation to flow. Ask your questions and let the person you're interviewing respond. That give and take makes the interaction entertaining for your viewers. This exchange was just irritating.
Obviously she's incredibly nervous, and is way over animated in her reactions to fill the empty sound space, which she can't even allow to happen. She's young, she'll get better at it. I notice she calms down a bit more towards the end.
People also don’t realise when you live in a small inner city space like that, you actually spend a lot of time outside enjoying life & the amenities of the city actually become extensions of your home. I lived in an equally small space in Sydney Australia & the coffee shop downstairs was my chill zone, Hyde Park was my backyard & a short bus drive to Bondi was my swimming pool. Best socialized years of my life actually.
It's one thing to do that because you want to, but the question is are you doing it because you have to? I loved going to the park or jogging trail, had a favorite coffeeshop, attended plays and poetry jams, went to concerts, conventions and movies, and exploring thrift stores and secondhand shops. And I did all this while living in Indianapolis, Indiana, and living in a 1-bedroom flat with far more space and paying less money. I'm happy she's happy. But other cities have great amenities and offer a vibrant social life without the cramped quarters and absurd price tag. I want everyone to be happy with where they live, but let's not act like that's the only place to create the life you want.
@@candacen7779 it’s a choice to live that lifestyle & it paid service to a period of my life when it was good. I left that life because I wanted a shift for more space & the ability to buy my own home, so I moved cities and moved states to do so nearly a decade ago.

@@r.handerlie9607 I lived my youth on a very old and big house and now on a tiny apartment and I don't regret it because you are not a cleaning slave squad 24/7
I love how she is proud of her space and genuinely is excited about living on the Upper West Side which is a legendary neighborhood... She makes it work well
I think what some people fail to understand that is for her, living where she wants to be, near the people she loves, and the experiences and work opportunities that she has in NYC is a trade off she is willing to make. And from looking at all the effort she's put into her space she seems happy with that trade off. What works for one person might not work for another. Or indeed, what works for her now might not work for her 5 years from now. But she's making the best of what she has now so she can have the future she wants and that's the truly important thing to remember.
She is quite happy and doing what she loves so that's all that matters really. People who have lived in New York just love it because there's so much to do and the city NEVER sleeps.
It wouldve been nice to see the bathroom, but otherwise I'm glad to see such a realistic looking small apartment. I feel like often they dont look very lived in and its hard to imagine actually trying to fit all of your stuff, but emily actually has SO much storage!!
"All your stuff" ceases to be an important phrase. You never get to have ALL of your stuff in a tiny space. You narrow it down to essentials only and maybe 3 or 4 nostalgia or decorative things. After that, you have reached maximum saturation and rotation is essential. 1 new thing coming in means 1 old thing goes out.
You think so until you realize 2 seasons of clothes don't fit in the closet and when summer is over and fall/winter comes in summer has to be stored somewhere. Where do you hang puffy winter jackets and a big shoe wardrobe god forbid you have boots! Where do you store extra sheets and towels and cleaning products a a Swiffer or broom?
I wanted to see the apartment and hear what she had to say… but the interviewer kept cutting her off and rushing her. I wanted to know how many units were in her building and she was not allowed to answer that. She is very interesting, but I guess whoever was interviewing her did not want to hear what she had to say. What I don’t understand is why you cannot just do a regular interview and edit out any parts you don’t like? Her story is excellent and so interesting. I think the person doing the interview wanted to be the star and did not want to share the limelight.
@@GiGiRedCherri I understand and she also may have just been anxious but you don’t learn from your experiences without any sort of critical assessment. It seemed to me that she was a little bit impatient and not very good at listening. If she wants to become good at interviewing she needs to become more patient and learn to listen better.
I like what she’s done with the place. It’s all she needs, and to her, location is more important than size. Two things that would’ve made this video better (in my opinion): show us the bathroom & tell us the rent. Thanks!
I think the apt is just adorable and perfect for a single person. I grew up in NYC and have lived in many countries in huge houses but one of my fondest memories is my studio apartment on 91st and Second Avenue in my 20s. I had a view all the way down the city and the space was super functional and cute. If you live NY you shouldn’t mind living in a smaller space.
I grew up in the Midwest, where living spaces are generally spacious. But I completely understand Emily's choice to live in this apartment. I could easily see myself doing the same, even though I am no longer young. I'm leaving the "acquisition" stage of my life and entering the "de-acquisition" stage, and it would be a relief to winnow my stuff down to what would fit in an apartment like this.
As a single person, my needs wouldn't require much more than this. The kitchen here is quite adequate, and the couch-bed (I'd be happy with a single) works OK. Fine for one person who doesn't entertain a lot!
Perfect small space apt! The brick is amazing and adds warmth, the one window is huge! The older I get, the smaller space I need (single) and I'd rather not spend my precious time cleaning larger spaces and multiple bathrooms. Love that the owner is a NYC lifer!
It's not for me, but I do like that it's also a pre-war building which makes me think the rent is actually a lot because you don't hear a sound from other units in that kind of building.
Same here, I don’t want a big house fill with stuff that it’s constantly a project to clean! I love my tiny apartment, I got all my essentials and the things that really matter to me ❤
I would like to see a lot more "Tiny Spaces." It would be a great contrast to the massive (and unobtainable by the average person) places that are usually featured on most of the Serhant related channels.
@@belindabruceaustin7127 I get the implication from the size and its lack of mention that it is one of those types of apartments that share a bathroom with others on the same floor. A definite "No" for me if I were looking for an apartment. I have to have my own bathroom. Even if it is the size of a closet.
I personally have always lived downtown but I have an Uptown fantasy. Like she said, you can get more peace and quiet there and then you have Central Park to walk to, and the "hustle and bustle" nearby if you want that too. Good job with this, looking forward to seeing more.
Absolutely brilliant! I love how she has combined practical organization with beauty and decor. How wonderful to be in walking distance of family and so many World renowned landmarks! Thank you for sharing your home!
Great spot! I love that they actually showed a space that isn't expert/professionally/bougily designed. I love how she so perfectly utilized this space. Looks like she's stocked on paper towels and stuff. Same here; I have mine above the fridge, like she has hers above the cabinets, but I think I'm gonna get a wicker basket to store them in, to make things more aesthetic. She hit the nail on the head about small spaces getting cluttered really quickly. Same thing goes when you don't have enough storage/furniture, so you don't have a proper place to store all your things, so it's just out in the open "all over the place". It's fascinating how there's adults in cities with excellent transport, who don't drive. Correction: CHICAGO is the best city in the world. 😅😅
I love it, you've done an amazing job with picking each piece of furniture and making it work for you. Is very quaint and cozy but with a modern edge! Very nice 😊
I love this space! Tiny is where it's at, most New Yorkers will appreciate her creativity and desire to live where she loves in a space that works for her. Well done, and thanks for sharing!
She did a great job with her space, made every inch of it funtional. I'm sure she is out & about in the city she loves so it's not like she never leaves her space. I could definitely live there but I'm not nearly as creative.
I like the hosts bubbly personality but she’s got to let the guest talk. Every 5 secs she’s interrupting her. Also, I understand they prepped questions for her to ask but at times the conversation came off as forced and unnatural. A good interviewer knows when to ask questions vs when to listen. Lastly no one thought to ask the guest where her bathroom is? Does she have one? Is it one those shared bathrooms for every floor situation? And what’s her rent?
Exactly! I laugh when I see these programs on how to live in a tiny space because New Yorkers (and Parisians, Londoners) have been doing the tiny thing for centuries.
Love the segment. I hope you were able to give Emily a little compensation for sharing her beautiful space and tips on to make it work. Cost of living for young adults is tough in any city.
I doubt she needs a "little compensation." Clearly her parents or someone else is paying for that apartment. What she's making as a musician would not even begin to pay for that apartment.
A lot of NYers don't have what they need. They're simply making do with what they have, often because other greedy NYers are charging absurd prices for cubicle-size spaces. Singapore and Tokyo have a similar situation, but that is due to genuine land scarcity. Not just greed.
LOVE what she’s done with her space- very practical! Also her access & proximity to the places she frequents is a big bonus (especially in New York). The only suggestion I have is to buy a stepladder. Using the dining chair is not only unsafe, it’s hard on the structural integrity of the chair. Otherwise, cute place 😍
The big question for me is does she have a bathroom??? I could live in the small space, I’m pretty sure she owns way more items than I currently have, so for me I’m reorganising things in my head. Although I don’t think a small space like this would be good for my cat, he needs more room to roam.
This is how ppl live in some areas of the world. I started tiny living and i would never go back. It makes me feel safe, it’s reduced my anxiety and tbh it’s what kicked my healing journey into gear. Got to see that owning things was not important, living is and doing things u love and that make u happy.
Also it’s saved me money because I stopped having to buy things to fill space. I don’t own excessive things like I used to and stopped buying and spending so much money on things like clothes and shoes I didn’t even need, it’s helped me put money away 😊
Love this apartment and could absolutely live in it! So cute and so cozy! She did a very good job! She made very good use of her space! It is my dream to purchase a Tiny Home so I have no problem with this tiny studio - no problem whatsoever! 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
❤ how she makes the space work for her, and the storage hacks are great. She has the best of life nearby: The park, Broadway, museums and family. Thanks for sharing this sweet space.
What a difference that one stone wall makes! Cozy from the start. Best feature for me is her dining table with the chairs that go all the way under it. Love it!
This apt is adorable, functional, creative, and full of personality! Thank you for the tour. I live in 180 square feet and love it. It's more like playing house rather than keeping house.
@@kenyonbissett3512 yes. It has a small RV sized tub/shower, sink with vanity (and storage) a large medicine cabinet and of course a toilet. Total dimensions: 3' x 4' 10"".
@@suzannecranford6819 tiny but functional. We lived in an rev with a bathroom just like that while our home was being built (30x70). Every time I moved to wash a body part I hit my elbow, lol.
@@kenyonbissett3512 lol!!! It's amazing how I end up in there with 2 cats and 2 dogs all at the same time. I want to get a smaller toilet in order to gain a couple more inches of floor space. 😁
That's a great space for a single person, especially good that she has her own bathroom and doesn't have to share with her neighbours. I would happily live there!
@@Emviolin417 Is the bathroom in your studio, or is it a shared bathroom outside your apartment? I love your space, you have everything you need in a a fabulous city. Yes, you can get a MUCH larger place in BFE, but there is NO comparison. And I know because I live in BFE and would trade you in a heartbeat! LOVE YOUR SPACE!
@@rmonson5002 It's in my studio! I have my own shower, tub etc. If you watch again you see there is a space behind the "kitchen" area, across from the "foyer" that's where the bathroom is. I even have my own bathtub :)
I've lived in an apartment in Seattle that's the same as this one and I can say that it's very doable. I also only pay $925 a month in rent with all utilities paid for which is dirt cheap for Seattle.
I love ❤ her place... It's small... It's bright... She turned 175 square feet into a home........ And the furniture she added... And the way she placed everything... Very clever... . If I had her place... . I'd never move out... . It's fantastic... . 🎉🎉🎉 Thank you for making the video. It was fun and enjoyable to watch... . I look forward watching more.
I lived in a studio apartment for six years and loved it. So many of my friends were “house poor” because most of their money went for rent. I only moved out because I met my husband who’s 6’2” and didn’t fit too well in the place. I now live in a 4300sf house but sometimes I miss my little place. Everything I needed and wanted were within an arms reach. 😀
I grew up in a 300sq ft apartment with my father and sister. Now I live alone (husband died 8 months ago) in an over 7000 sq ft house. Until very recently, house prices in Idaho were quite cheap by national standards and this house cost us one third the price of a house one third the size of our house in Los Angeles where we moved from. My water bill last month was a whole $1.69. That is not a typo btw.
@@skywalker6648 North Idaho has a bigger population than Spokane, Washington and a better standard of living. You should check out North Idaho or the Boise or Pocatello area sometime. Rexburg is beautiful too.
@@lisabaltzer4190 I'm saying what is there TO DO in Idaho to make it more interesting than living in LA where you said you used to live? I never said nothing about Spokane.
@@skywalker6648 There is hunting, fishing, boating, ice skating (rink and lake), roller rink, bowling, good restaurants, theatre’s,etc. I can do everything I did in Los Angeles in North Idaho. My only real complaint is about buying clothes and shoes. Most clothing is limited to farm and outdoorsy wear , and if you have tiny feet like I do, forget it. To get petite size clothing, I usually go to Spokane and I have to buy my shoes online. NOBODY carries my size shoes anymore 😔 (4 1/2).
Gorgeous apartment. I actually love it!! The layout is perfect with the hallway and the way the kitchen is set up. Where is the bathroom? Is it shared outside?
I would say probably 1800, depending upon how long she’s lived there, I had a 1 bedroom in at townhouse for less than 2300 on the UWS, and west of broadway.
There's so much to see and do in NYC, you don't get all caught up over your living space. I have a house now, in ''the burbs" because my job moved out of Manhattan to another state. I would trade my house in tomorrow to live in that studio apt. Nobody here understands that, they think I kiss the ground every day because I now own a house. They are totally wrong, period. I'm retired now and plan on heading back to the city if I have to live in a tent there!!
I couldn't tell... but was there a bathroom (right inside the entryway)? I know some of the tiny apartments in NY have shared bathrooms on each floor. I'm all for living tiny...especially in a city you really want to be in. I moved to Seattle 5 years ago and downsized and got rid of my car. I'd live in a shoebox to be in somewhere like London or Oslo... so much to get out and do (pandemic lockdowns notwithstanding).
That ceiling looks higher than the standard 8', maybe 9-10'? I would have built a bunk bed system with the bed on top and the desk and sofa underneath it
First time I watched the channel. I'm not sure that you are aware you totally kept talking over the young lady. I know it was such a cute and unbelievable space that you were probably excited. Loved the space.
Beautifully done, your home is so well organized and put together to fill so homey, I would love this size. So happy for you that you have family close by, what a Blessing. God Bless love🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾❤️❤️❤️🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾❤️❤️❤️👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👋🏾👋🏾👋🏾
What the what?! You have more countertop and kitchen storage space than I have in my 1 bedroom apartment, which is over 3 times the size of your place.
NYC is a great place to live so much happens there. Your in the middle of it. You have done so much to make it your own. You have a positive attitude and knowing just how difficult Real estate is. The views at night would be even greater. You are just so BLESSED. Stay positive do not listen to negative people. I love it I live in Adelaide South Australia .Thank You I am impressed.
She has a positive attitude because she's most likely NOT paying the rent, probably her parents are. There's no way she could afford this on what she makes as a musician--this is NYC'S Upper West Side!
l LOVE your space! I decided to watch this to get ideas for my tiny space. And for the negative comments (which I cannot understand why folks can be so cruel with words) can be put out with the trash! There's no space for them. (pun intended)
This was hard to watch because of the interviewer, she didn’t let her finish a question. She wanted to ask the question and answer it. Horrible interviewer just horrible.
I adore her apartment and her approach to life. I also agree that New York is a great place, a unique place in the whole world, full of opportunities and challenges. I have lived there and enjoyed that time. BUT living in another city is not a step down from NYC. And I find that living in another city doesn't necessarily include constant conversations about how much better my place is than anywhere else in the world. The most wonderful city in the world for me is the one where I can do my work, have friends, have joy -- and that might be many other cities besides NYC. That famous cartoon shows a map of Manhattan and the rest of the world is simply nameless because New Yorkers are so centered on their city.
@@ljtinney - Found it; sorta. $1600/mo end of 2020. It’s in one of the comments in the original TikTok, but she deleted her own response confirming the price, which is probably higher now since rents have returned to or surpassed pre-pandemic levels. That’s not bad for a studio in a really good location in NYC. If it’s high floor up with no elevator, that might not be as good of a price. Also, random side note, the dog is her family’s; just likes to hang out with her. 🐶
LOL..."below her budget!" This is NYC's Upper West Side! There's no way her earnings as a musician are paying for this. Someone else is footing the bill, probably her parents.

She did a great job with her space, made every inch of it funtional. I'm sure she is out & about in the city she loves so it's not like she never leaves her space. I could definitely live there but I'm not nearly as creative.
I like the hosts bubbly personality but she’s got to let the guest talk. Every 5 secs she’s interrupting her. Also, I understand they prepped questions for her to ask but at times the conversation came off as forced and unnatural. A good interviewer knows when to ask questions vs when to listen. Lastly no one thought to ask the guest where her bathroom is? Does she have one? Is it one those shared bathrooms for every floor situation? And what’s her rent?
Where is the bathroom. Please 👍 🥰
Agreed.
@@dianebaker5243 Bathroom is in the front behind the kitchen. It was cut out due to time restraints- I do have a bathroom... and a bathtub! :)
Agreed. It really took away from the tour. Relax.
I had to stop watching it because of the interruptions 😝
They have all these TV shows about micro houses but New Yorkers have been doing it forever lol... I love this and wanna see more episodes. Subscribed.
EXACTLY!
Exactly! I laugh when I see these programs on how to live in a tiny space because New Yorkers (and Parisians, Londoners) have been doing the tiny thing for centuries.
Love the segment. I hope you were able to give Emily a little compensation for sharing her beautiful space and tips on to make it work. Cost of living for young adults is tough in any city.
There will be more!
@@Trunswim1 I am a huge fan of NYMDL and Ryan Serhant since the beginning as well as you!
I doubt she needs a "little compensation." Clearly her parents or someone else is paying for that apartment. What she's making as a musician would not even begin to pay for that apartment.
I love that NYers have only what they need. They do what they love. There is no harm to understand home is where her heart is. I love the space! 😍
A lot of NYers don't have what they need. They're simply making do with what they have, often because other greedy NYers are charging absurd prices for cubicle-size spaces.
Singapore and Tokyo have a similar situation, but that is due to genuine land scarcity. Not just greed.
LOVE what she’s done with her space- very practical! Also her access & proximity to the places she frequents is a big bonus (especially in New York). The only suggestion I have is to buy a stepladder. Using the dining chair is not only unsafe, it’s hard on the structural integrity of the chair. Otherwise, cute place 😍
No, not safe and also not hygienic to climb the counter in what looked like her gym shoes, lol.
The big question for me is does she have a bathroom???
I could live in the small space, I’m pretty sure she owns way more items than I currently have, so for me I’m reorganising things in my head. Although I don’t think a small space like this would be good for my cat, he needs more room to roam.
See bathroom in original tiktok linked above :)
@@Emviolin417 wonder why skip it?
This living space has happiness all over it! It's cozy and doesn't feel cramped. I love it. Thank you for sharing and inspiring us!
Yeah the crosstalk was a little much, but I guess it matched the vibe of the apartment lol. Nice place, overall!
This is how ppl live in some areas of the world. I started tiny living and i would never go back. It makes me feel safe, it’s reduced my anxiety and tbh it’s what kicked my healing journey into gear. Got to see that owning things was not important, living is and doing things u love and that make u happy.
Also it’s saved me money because I stopped having to buy things to fill space. I don’t own excessive things like I used to and stopped buying and spending so much money on things like clothes and shoes I didn’t even need, it’s helped me put money away 😊
Nice video! The music, production, and editing was top notch! Whoever did that must be very talented!
I love the apartment😊
She has what she needs and it’s just perfect for her.
Thank you for sharing Talia
You are so welcome! We are so happy you loved it!
It's probably what her parents, who also live on the Upper East Side, can afford to pay for.
This series is great and I really loved this tour especially. The girls that get it, get it.
I LOVE this segment. Talia you rock!
Love this apartment and could absolutely live in it! So cute and so cozy! She did a very good job! She made very good use of her space! It is my dream to purchase a Tiny Home so I have no problem with this tiny studio - no problem whatsoever! 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
Had a great time on this tour. Aloha from Honolulu, Hawaii byways of Waikiki
I love her apartment. I’d live there in a heartbeat!
❤ how she makes the space work for her, and the storage hacks are great. She has the best of life nearby: The park, Broadway, museums and family. Thanks for sharing this sweet space.
Love it!!
Love it! I lived in a tiny apartment in the Bronx, and it was one of my all favorite apartments.❤️
What a difference that one stone wall makes! Cozy from the start. Best feature for me is her dining table with the chairs that go all the way under it. Love it!
This apt is adorable, functional, creative, and full of personality! Thank you for the tour. I live in 180 square feet and love it. It's more like playing house rather than keeping house.
Does your 180 have a bathroom?
@@kenyonbissett3512 yes. It has a small RV sized tub/shower, sink with vanity (and storage) a large medicine cabinet and of course a toilet. Total dimensions: 3' x 4' 10"".
@@suzannecranford6819 tiny but functional. We lived in an rev with a bathroom just like that while our home was being built (30x70). Every time I moved to wash a body part I hit my elbow, lol.
@@kenyonbissett3512 lol!!!
It's amazing how I end up in there with 2 cats and 2 dogs all at the same time. I want to get a smaller toilet in order to gain a couple more inches of floor space. 😁
@@suzannecranford6819 having the 2 dogs, you must get out a lot. Are you near a park for them to enjoy?
That's a great space for a single person, especially good that she has her own bathroom and doesn't have to share with her neighbours. I would happily live there!
NYC is awesome. Home is where your heart is. Life isn’t about square footage. Question though…. No bathroom tour!
It was cut out due to time restraints- I do have a bathroom... and a bathtub! :)
@@Emviolin417 Is the bathroom in your studio, or is it a shared bathroom outside your apartment? I love your space, you have everything you need in a a fabulous city. Yes, you can get a MUCH larger place in BFE, but there is NO comparison. And I know because I live in BFE and would trade you in a heartbeat! LOVE YOUR SPACE!
@@rmonson5002 It's in my studio! I have my own shower, tub etc. If you watch again you see there is a space behind the "kitchen" area, across from the "foyer" that's where the bathroom is. I even have my own bathtub :)
@@Emviolin417 Right on! Great space, love the exposed brick!
I've lived in an apartment in Seattle that's the same as this one and I can say that it's very doable. I also only pay $925 a month in rent with all utilities paid for which is dirt cheap for Seattle.
She's a born and bred New Yorker, she's happy to live in that space as long as its in NYC and near her family. Where is the bathroom?
It was cut out due to time restraints- I do have a bathroom... and a bathtub! :)
It appears to be by the door.
@@Emviolin417 Maybe, some of the conversation should have been cut instead. Since it would have allowed viewers a complete picture of the apartment :)
@@skywalker6648 You make a good point- unfortunately I had no control over what did/didn't make it into the video
@@ravent3016 Yes it's by the door behind the kitchen! you can see a sneak peak of it in the original tik tok
I love ❤ her place... It's small... It's bright... She turned 175 square feet into a home........ And the furniture she added... And the way she placed everything... Very clever...
.
If I had her place...
.
I'd never move out...
.
It's fantastic...
.
🎉🎉🎉
Thank you for making the video. It was fun and enjoyable to watch...
.
I look forward watching more.
That woman never let Emily finish a sentence. God I hate people who have to chime in half-way through anything you try to say!
I love the coffee area, the little counter space there is very cute.
And I kinda think the brick wall is a treasure ❤️
I lived in a studio apartment for six years and loved it. So many of my friends were “house poor” because most of their money went for rent. I only moved out because I met my husband who’s 6’2” and didn’t fit too well in the place. I now live in a 4300sf house but sometimes I miss my little place. Everything I needed and wanted were within an arms reach. 😀
I grew up in a 300sq ft apartment with my father and sister. Now I live alone (husband died 8 months ago) in an over 7000 sq ft house. Until very recently, house prices in Idaho were quite cheap by national standards and this house cost us one third the price of a house one third the size of our house in Los Angeles where we moved from. My water bill last month was a whole $1.69. That is not a typo btw.
@@lisabaltzer4190 That's great pricing but what's in Idaho, lol?
@@skywalker6648 North Idaho has a bigger population than Spokane, Washington and a better standard of living. You should check out North Idaho or the Boise or Pocatello area sometime. Rexburg is beautiful too.
@@lisabaltzer4190 I'm saying what is there TO DO in Idaho to make it more interesting than living in LA where you said you used to live? I never said nothing about Spokane.
@@skywalker6648 There is hunting, fishing, boating, ice skating (rink and lake), roller rink, bowling, good restaurants, theatre’s,etc. I can do everything I did in Los Angeles in North Idaho. My only real complaint is about buying clothes and shoes. Most clothing is limited to farm and outdoorsy wear , and if you have tiny feet like I do, forget it. To get petite size clothing, I usually go to Spokane and I have to buy my shoes online. NOBODY carries my size shoes anymore 😔 (4 1/2).
LOVE this tiny apartment (lack of bathroom and exorbitant rent, aside). It is all about location, location, location.
I think about it like this be glad to have a roof over your head small space or not god bless her 👏🏾
Amen!!!
Double Amen. No matter the size, that's home for her and she is very proud of it 👏
love the kitchen setup! when you are young and move out of your parents home, anything larger than your bedroom is spacious!
I love the excitement.
Such a cute place! I just felt she was interrupted every time she tried to answer a question. Made it hard to finish.
Gorgeous apartment. I actually love it!! The layout is perfect with the hallway and the way the kitchen is set up. Where is the bathroom? Is it shared outside?
That's what I want to know. I think its probably shared
I was thinking it might be the space just as you walk in on the right, behind the kitchen wall.
Great use of space! 💪
Thank you!! :)
It would be very interesting to know how much would this space in New York would cost to rent per month!
~2,300 could be more
Upper west side
I would say probably 1800, depending upon how long she’s lived there, I had a 1 bedroom in at townhouse for less than 2300 on the UWS, and west of broadway.
Probably, the way rent has went up around 2500 or more.
Where the hell is the bathroom?
No bathroom, no toilet
Probably somewhere on the floor shared with 258 other people
😂
There is omg. Its on the right when you enter the apartment. You can see it in her tik tok video. The apartment has a bathroom.
Kitchen sink .
Wowwww...I wanna visit new york after hearing those storiessssss...woww!!!
Did I miss the Toliet & shower area? I thought everything was well laid out & very nice. Thank you.
There's so much to see and do in NYC, you don't get all caught up over your living space. I have a house now, in ''the burbs" because my job moved out of Manhattan to another state. I would trade my house in tomorrow to live in that studio apt. Nobody here understands that, they think I kiss the ground every day because I now own a house. They are totally wrong, period. I'm retired now and plan on heading back to the city if I have to live in a tent there!!
NY is her home and she loves it there. It’s no one else’s business why she lives there. She WANTS to live there! I love the space! You go girl!
Hello how are you doing?
UPPER WEST REPRESENT BABYYYY
I can't wait to see more ! I binged all the Tiny space videos :)
I couldn't tell... but was there a bathroom (right inside the entryway)? I know some of the tiny apartments in NY have shared bathrooms on each floor. I'm all for living tiny...especially in a city you really want to be in. I moved to Seattle 5 years ago and downsized and got rid of my car. I'd live in a shoebox to be in somewhere like London or Oslo... so much to get out and do (pandemic lockdowns notwithstanding).
Watching From The Caribbean 🇻🇨...I Really Love The Space.
Thank you so much!! :)
Hi Iam, we are so excited to know that we have viewers from St. Vincent! Greetings from New York City :)
That ceiling looks higher than the standard 8', maybe 9-10'? I would have built a bunk bed system with the bed on top and the desk and sofa underneath it
Yesss I did that in my apartment in Chelsea to make extra space underneath
I put a little mini couch too
It's a charming space in a particularly lovely and civilized neighborhood. If I were alone, I could see myself living there, even though I'm old.
Talia really needs to let other people complete their sentences. She can’t seem to stop talking over her guests.
I noticed that, it was distracting. The apt is so cute. To be able to live alone in NYC at her age is a gift/accomplishment.
I feel like they were competing to talk. The host is cute but would not let that poor girl finish a sentence.
First time I watched the channel. I'm not sure that you are aware you totally kept talking over the young lady. I know it was such a cute and unbelievable space that you were probably excited. Loved the space.
I think this video should be edited and add a voice over. Nice Space though 🤷🏽♀️
It's like that in all her videos. Can't watch them anymore.
I love that you built the side bar w/ cabinets and enlarged your kitchen.
You apt is cozy and quite cool❣️
I really need to know where her bathroom is! I love how she uses her space!
Beautifully done, your home is so well organized and put together to fill so homey, I would love this size. So happy for you that you have family close by, what a Blessing. God Bless love🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾❤️❤️❤️🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾❤️❤️❤️👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👋🏾👋🏾👋🏾
What the what?! You have more countertop and kitchen storage space than I have in my 1 bedroom apartment, which is over 3 times the size of your place.
NYC is a great place to live so much happens there. Your in the middle of it. You have done so much to make it your own. You have a positive attitude and knowing just how difficult Real estate is. The views at night would be even greater. You are just so BLESSED. Stay positive do not listen to negative people. I love it I live in Adelaide South Australia .Thank You I am impressed.
She has a positive attitude because she's most likely NOT paying the rent, probably her parents are. There's no way she could afford this on what she makes as a musician--this is NYC'S Upper West Side!
An inspiration for vertical living!
Thank you!! :)
Love this so much! Let's see more tiny spaces please :)
Coming at you soon, Natalie :)
Love this! Making it work
Thank you!! :)
l LOVE your space! I decided to watch this to get ideas for my tiny space. And for the negative comments (which I cannot understand why folks can be so cruel with words) can be put out with the trash! There's no space for them. (pun intended)
This was hard to watch because of the interviewer, she didn’t let her finish a question. She wanted to ask the question and answer it. Horrible interviewer just horrible.
I will live there too I believe as long as it’s your own space anything will do. It’s cute and cozy ty for sharing
I like how you made this space yours! Just one question: where is the bathroom?!
Towards the front! We didn't show it in this tour, but it's nice!
@@listed Ok, thank you for clarifying :-)
@@listed Why didn't you show it? Would have loved to have a peak :)
@@lsamoa It was cut out due to time restraints- I do have a bathroom... and a bathtub! :)
@@Emviolin417 It must be a lovely bathroom, I really like your place :)
I adore her apartment and her approach to life. I also agree that New York is a great place, a unique place in the whole world, full of opportunities and challenges. I have lived there and enjoyed that time. BUT living in another city is not a step down from NYC. And I find that living in another city doesn't necessarily include constant conversations about how much better my place is than anywhere else in the world. The most wonderful city in the world for me is the one where I can do my work, have friends, have joy -- and that might be many other cities besides NYC.
That famous cartoon shows a map of Manhattan and the rest of the world is simply nameless because New Yorkers are so centered on their city.
You’re right. I find this true especially of manhattanites. They don’t even believe the other boroughs exist lol
I'd love a small space like this in NYC! But how much is rent?
This is the question we are all dying to know.
@@ljtinney - Found it; sorta. $1600/mo end of 2020. It’s in one of the comments in the original TikTok, but she deleted her own response confirming the price, which is probably higher now since rents have returned to or surpassed pre-pandemic levels. That’s not bad for a studio in a really good location in NYC. If it’s high floor up with no elevator, that might not be as good of a price. Also, random side note, the dog is her family’s; just likes to hang out with her. 🐶
@@hummersd Thank you. You're the MVP.
@@hummersd It only went up $50 :)
@@hummersd Bravo 👏 Excellent research.
Definitely Upper West Side is my favourite place for staying in NYC !
I agree!
Lovely apartment. Thanks for sharing 👍 🥰
Thank you so much!! :)
I love how she explained what type of building this is or was, and if all units are the same (studio) 8:00
She makes it look so cozy 😊
Hello 👋 how are you doing?
I think you've done an admirable job. You've proved less is more
i love how they kept talking over each other.
😂🤷🏽♀️
This is one of the nicest tiny apartments in NYC I’ve seen!!
How much is her rent? Whatever it is, I hope it is well below her budget. If she is able to aggressively save living here then I support it.
LOL..."below her budget!" This is NYC's Upper West Side! There's no way her earnings as a musician are paying for this. Someone else is footing the bill, probably her parents.
Id bet 2000
love this place, she's so creative with the space, nicely done!
wonder how much she pays
