Hi everyone, so I've had a few similar questions asked in this comment section and just wanted to answer everyone here. For the people who have subscribed to me thank you so much 😁 this video was not sponsored by IKEA unfortunately. So this nano flat is located in Causeway Bay (Hong Kong Island) . HK island is more expensive so for the price $7000(hkd) per month... Its actually not that bad. Yes this place is tiny but HK is also quite cramp. I already knew this before moving to HK to settle down. I am living in Causeway Bay because its extremely convenient. Meaning I don't have to travel 2hrs to work or pay more for transport. In the end I'm actually saving (but everyone has their preferences). As some of you know my plan is to buy a place, hence I'm just living here to save up. 7k for 2 people is pretty reasonable. Size for short term is manageable if you're a easy going kind of person 😂 As for the glass door, seeming as im moving soon I decided not to cover it up. But it is a good idea for anyone who has glass within their house. So thanks for the suggestion! Because this is a small place it is easy to get wet and humid during the summer so make sure to buy loads of dehumidifiers and air freshener 😂 Any other questions, please comment down here 👇 thanks!! ❤️
You probably can apply a removable film to the glass door to make it opaque. It's relatively cheaper than replacing the door. And when you return the apartment, it's easy to remove. I believe the film is used by graphic designers to make signs and/or car enthusiast to apply to cars.
Lol I just wrote that and then saw your comment im non native in english so I was struggling to explain what you explained really well! There are ones really pretty to cover the windows but they can be used for this to
Certainly in this country (UK) you could get films that would be a solid colour too, or 'stained glass' or various patterns - whatever you want really. Completely removable and you can choose whatever suits you.
Loved your design ideas, the reason it makes the room spacious is the illusion of light play and being organized. Ceiling lights and cabinet lighting helps breaks the monotonous layout of the room, I advised you try warm yellow/orange lighting specifically on your bedroom to set the mood and help with sleeping and avoid any blue lighting at all!
You can try getting a dehumidifier machine to help reduce the humidity in that small space. Dehumidifier rods from Olee placed in your wardrobe keeps all your clothes dry, crisp and fresh . No molds , no smell.
$1000 per month. It is more expensive compare to NYC. But you and Kurt organize the space well, good job. Knowing your channel thru yesterday Appledaily video, you two were cute in that video
This is definitely one of the better designed micro-apartments I've seen. I could deffo see myself living in that space, which isn't something I'd often say for an apartment that only measures 10sqm!
There is a type of film that you can place on the bathroom glass door or you can also use some type of contact paper. They are easy to peel off when you are ready to move out.
HK housing developers control and took most wealth from the young generation. Government should have more policies to help young people in living spaces, skills development, create jobs ….. etc.
But the problem is they can't help every single person. They have to pick and choose who they want to help. And then people are going to complain anyway.
it is indeed a tiny apartment. If lived for short term , it 's okey but definitely need a bigger space for relaxing. I live in HK for 7 years still want bigger space.
I feel that no matter how big or small the living space is, as long as there is Love, comfort and coziness will rule and filled the heart with what most matters :)
try to live like this for a year, you will not say something like this. This kind of "home" is inhuman and ridiculous, don't beautify this... noone wanna live like this and a rich society shouldn't let this happen.
We have been living here for over half a year now and are totally fine with it. Not sure if you know that Hong Kong is as mentioned "one of the most densely populated city's in the world" hence its impossible to create large houses or bigger apartments like in the West. Ofc a large house would be nice~ but if its not an option you either move to another country or stay where you are and appreciate it as much as you can. It's all about changing perspective and appreciating the small things in life.
I have a full window in my front door. I wanted a curtain without drilling holes so I used little plastic hooks with a sticky backing on the door then I sewed little plastic rings into some fabric to make a curtain. You could probably do something like that to get privacy in your bathroom. You might also be able to search for a suction cup curtain rod or suction cup curtain. I'm sure there's a way to make that glass bathroom door more private.
Yeah~ meanwhile I've stuck some fabric on with blue tack until I can get something else 😂 Wondering if the privacy film other people are talking about can block out light too 🤔
You could consider moving to the New Territories where you will enjoy much more humane living standards. As HK public transport is so efficient you could go anywhere you want within 45 minutes max.
O my god .....this apartment is so beautiful ... My dream apartment .. hope i can afford that kind of layout in future..sooo pretty beautiful awesome apartment
You can also buy a sort of sticking paper (don’t know the name in english) there are kinds of wall paper made of plastic that you can use to cover that bathroom door and they cabe be took away when you leave the appartement
Can you get a roll of privacy film over there for the bathroom door? It's just cling film that you put on the glass after spraying it with water..it's awesome and comes right off when you move out..no adhesive!
Yes I've been looking in to it 😂 I think they should have in some kind of DIY store. I'm glad to hear it can come off! Do you know any brands you can recommend?
@@KiekoM You can get those kind of films from Living Plaza (AEON store). Google it for the nearest store to your place. I put those films on my windows so that my neighbours won't see my place.
Hong Kong is very crowded, hot and humid in summer, air quality kinda bad and very expensive for tiny flat. But I do go back HK every 3 years either on Chinese New Year or Christmas cause I love the atmosphere. But for Now I will stay In San Diego, CA enjoy My 2500+ Sq house with my big backyard feeling the breeze while I am enjoying my starbuck ice mocha ☕️ in my balcony and the beautiful weather and the beaches in San Diego.
Just in case you are interest in the CC (English UK) It’s like this word/settings.xmlPK word/fontTable.xmlPK word/webSettings.xmlPK docProps/app.xmlPK docProps/core.xmlPK word/styles.xmlPK
I love this apartment. Mine is 92 sqm, and it is just too big for one person. I would like to downsize to something like yours. Thanks for the tour and great ideas/inspiration!
@@KiekoM Haha it's way too big, but obviously I don't live in Hong Kong, so it is only $700 US. I would love to live in a big city though, so much more to do.
@@torstenwow wow that's such a good price for a huge place! Wish I could swap haha. This apartment is around 900usd! I guess because it's very central.
Hi Kirk and Kurt, You two are so blessed that you have love for each other. Actually, I have bought a nano studio in New Territories. It is small and expensive. Some might got jealous of me because I have done something that many others in our age could not do yet. But, I just want to say, the love between you is the most valuable thing I am jealous of for I am still a bachelor and no one loves me🥲 NVM, and btw, I bless you to can love each other until old.🙂
I have to say your tiny apartment looks more like a home than mine which is 10X larger. I pay equivalent HK$18000 for rent in my city, and you have convinced me that I should probably save some money by living in a more affordable house. Knowing to delay gratification is really important for a young family to grow. You will definitely be getting a bigger house very soon.
Thank you. Although living in a tiny apartment has its con, it's good for saving and I like the convenient location 😊 Definitely learnt how to live a more minimalist life here and made awesome memories too 😁 Look forward to buying a house in the near future!
How do you cook without a stove or a cooktop? it is the HK government fault of limiting land for housing development to keep the price of land super high
May I give you a few advice: 1) set up a patreon link & put it on the description section of all your videos, so people could contribute some money for you to make more videos, most youtubers do that. 2). make sure you remind people to Like, subscribe, and click on the Notification bell on every single one of your video, because people forget. 3). You could upload daily or weekly vlogs. With you two’s looks and different cultures, you two could eventually become very successful youtubers. Reach people from all over the world. ** good luck to you both. 😘😘
Hope you quickly move out of that tiny apartment. I'm from HK and I know how ridiculous property is in our city. Maybe you would be able to find some good friends to share an apartment.
I am paying $5k & $200 on utilities for a furnished 120sq room in Prince Edward even though the landlord asked for $7k, you just gotta learn to haggle as HK landlords are quite dodgy.
Why dont you shift back to Singapore? The housing in Singapore is much more affordable, quality of life and living condition is better as compared to Hong Kong.
😂 The matress from IKEA was already rolled up and flattened, so all we had to do was deflate it for 2 hrs or something? I think it can still fit through the door though. It's a small double size.

can't imagine living in such a tiny space haha but you organized everything so well
haha thank you!

Especially with another person . . . Wow! She did have all the necessities though.

amazing how you and hubby squeezing into 100 sqm but i think it is very cosy for newly wed :)
Very satisfied designed. Glad to know you wouldn't mind whether your home is narrow or spacious. Hope you are all doing well. ☺☺☺
So clean and organized that good for small space

Thank you 😊 yes HK is really expensive!

Manhattan is more expensive
Apartment for Idiots! Smart HK money move to Canada

You are so organised girl!!
Thank you 😊

Yes it's so Tiny! Thank you ❤️❤️
When she said, "When you enter, you see, everything!" lmao, that's only 10 Sqm.

That's a hall way lol but Hong Kong is very desensly populated and I've heard rent is expensive there. You make due with what you have to.

I agree, this is only good for short term rental haha
I can imagine myself bumping into that glass door after coming from shower.
😂 I've done it a few times at night when I need to go to the toilet
You can stick a film on your glass toilet door so lights still can go through but with shadows casting in the door only

@@KiekoM You can use shelf liner with adhesive backing as privacy film, so yes you can get opaque types and it comes off easily later. :)
Thanks for sharing the home tour. Tiny space but you got al the the things you need. I really love it.
Compact and bijou! Looks very cosy ☺️
Thanks 😊
I think you two spend a lot of time cleaning your home, because its so clean and tidy!!
うちの物置？ってくらい狭いけど、…家賃は結構しそうですね。工夫でcomfortableに暮らしてらっしゃるのですね！✨

Wow very tiny. I think I would go crazy with my bf all day in there. Very organized tho !

You may use glass frost stickers or contact stickers for the glass door.

Hi Kirk and Kurt,
You two are so blessed that you have love for each other.
Actually, I have bought a nano studio in New Territories. It is small and expensive.
Some might got jealous of me because I have done something that many others in our age could not do yet.
But, I just want to say, the love between you is the most valuable thing I am jealous of for I am still a bachelor and no one loves me🥲
NVM, and btw, I bless you to can love each other until old.🙂
Nice home. I have watched the story of your home in apple daily. 加油🙂
Ikea approved 👍
Sounds like an Aussie ! Bluey and bingo!
Lived in HK for 9 years but dont miss the small living areas
Waduh enak di Indonesia 1000 dolar dpt apartemen 2 kamar tidur dapur dll lebih luas lagi...mewah pokoknya tengah kota lagi
It’s really tidy!!
Thank you 😊
These Apts are like little RVs, lovely video tho👍
you look beautiful and best wishes to you two!
Hope to see your exploration as have a foreigner face in HK.
Thank you 😊 💕
although the room is such small, you are so organised!!
hk is sick :( how come ppl needa live in these kind of small room

i really amaze how you can organize everything.. can you send to me every detail of size?
thanks for like my comment..
so special to know your hongkong apartment..
Welcome to Hong Kong~~
How do you cook without a stove or a cooktop? it is the HK government fault of limiting land for housing development to keep the price of land super high
We had 1 electric stove in this apartment. It's next to the sink.
wow this layout is very workable. Surprise that such a small space can be that functionable. :)
Also LOVE your earrings
Haha thank you! 😘 😘
This apartment is a dream organisation! Very pretty. BTW, if it was me, I would never buy black furniture: dust loves them to much.
So what’s the view out of the window like?
Which floor somit on?
How are the neighbours there?
Out of curiosity, how much is rent in HK for an apartment this size? Love the vid btw!
I am a simple guy, I see an elegant girl I leave a like.
Can i know what area is it in and the approximate price please? Coz it looks really good
Hi, it's in the HK Island side, approximately 1000USD per month. Thanks!
I thought it was so small the video ended after 15 seconds😄
Very nice tiny apartment
You gotta go to Brazil. One tiny apartment in HK is the same price of a big fat and enormous house here. Hehe
Really? 😂 That's amazing! 😍
Just watching this video is making me claustrophobic
Just a suggestion but you could get rid of the laundry basket and put your dirty clothes straight in the washing machine. When it's full turn it on.
Hi I am at Hong Kong too love collaboration culture food I am friendly love photography making videos dear friend
May I give you a few advice:
1) set up a patreon link & put it on the description section of all your videos, so people could contribute some money for you to make more videos, most youtubers do that.
2). make sure you remind people to Like, subscribe, and click on the Notification bell on every single one of your video, because people forget.
3). You could upload daily or weekly vlogs. With you two’s looks and different cultures, you two could eventually become very successful youtubers. Reach people from all over the world.

Check out glass film that will give you privacy.
Ohh thanks!! Will check it out :)
Hope you quickly move out of that tiny apartment. I'm from HK and I know how ridiculous property is in our city.
Maybe you would be able to find some good friends to share an apartment.
I'm actually ok with this place 😂 I know there's a lot worse~ but I will be moving out in to a bigger place in September 😊
What do you use to iron clothes? Thanks
Nice House.
I am paying $5k & $200 on utilities for a furnished 120sq room in Prince Edward even though the landlord asked for $7k, you just gotta learn to haggle as HK landlords are quite dodgy.
Hi San, from Prince Edward to University of Hong Kong, Pokfulam is there any metro or required to transfer ferry to mainland then metro ???
@@rajibulhasan86 you can take island line and transfer to tseun wan line at central/admiralty and vice versa
Need to be very clean,very organised to live like this
For a micro apartment is like 10mill. 😗
It looks more like a dorm room but its cute
No living room and dinning space.... but it is organized and clean.
I am curious how to hang up the socket in the kitchen wall?
The socket has two holes at the back so we just hooked it on to 2 ikea towel hooks 😂
Sooo cute❤️❤️
Man living is Hong Kong is tough.
How much rent of the apartment ??
Nice vlog....🥰
It seems like windows in HG apartments are rarely transparent, why so?
beautiful!
how much in one month badget all and apartment rental
Full clean
The rent isn't low even though it's a tiny flat
Just wondering, how much is the rent for the apartment?
Why dont you shift back to Singapore? The housing in Singapore is much more affordable, quality of life and living condition is better as compared to Hong Kong.
how much money you pay every month for this apartment
Welcome to HK
minimal style i like. How much rent for same this room
For this room size in HK Island it will be around 6000-7000hkd. It might be cheaper on the Kowloon side~
it almost looks like a room on a steam boat or an overnight train.
One question haunted me the whole video- how did you squeeze that mattress in there ?!?
😂 The matress from IKEA was already rolled up and flattened, so all we had to do was deflate it for 2 hrs or something? I think it can still fit through the door though. It's a small double size.
Actually, the glass toilet door is quite cool..... Naturally, no privacy, but under the circumstances.... No choice.
You didn't show the view ☹
That's because there isn't one 😂
Nice. How much is the rate of that cozy apartment?
Where is it locate? I’m looking for a living place like this
以前香港に在住していました。香港は家賃が高いですよね。遠距離ですが、天水ワンや、ユンロンの一戸建てや、深圳よりの政府のアパートメントををおすすめしたいです…
そっちの方の家は香港アイランドより大きいですね～政府のアパートメント初めて聞きました。
