      I live alone in London! It's the most wonderful, liberating thing any young adult should do. My goal was to do it before turning 30. Mission accomplished!

      Refinery29 People talk about living alone like it’s such a foreign/rare thing. Lol I hope everyone experiences living alone at least once in their lifetime.

      Really cute, eclectic, boho, stylish, apartment. Love the art/book corner too. Pretty artwork. Sunshine coming into the kitchen made me smile and gave me a sense of serenity. Teal was a good choice for the bathroom color. Also I liked your dress which was so attractive on you. It wasn't a dress that you would typically see on other women. I like it when things are not cookie cutter. Be blessed!

      I'm 28 y.o. and I've lived alone for over 2 years and it's been a wonderful experience. I'll be moving in with my fiance soon so it's kind of bittersweet because my condo was the first place that was truly my own and I was able to design it exactly how I wanted. Living alone really helped me learn about myself and become more independent and responsible. But I'm excited to be starting a new chapter of my life with my future husband :)

    This is probably my favorite apartment that I’ve seen in this series so far. I love how spacious this apartment is even though it’s a railroad, and you keeping it so neat maximizes even more on the space!!! $2000 is a lot, but for a single bedroom place like this in NY?? Girl, you are winning!

      This is a spacious mansion compared to most of the other apartments I’ve seen in NYC. IMO, 600 sq ft is more than enough room for a single person. Depending on the layout, that amount of space can accommodate 2 people. It’s very beautiful, but I’m also a fan of those who have the smaller spaces. And I also think everybody should experience living alone for a period of time!

    By far my favorite episode so far. Megan just seems like the type of girl you instantly want to be friends with. And even though I always feel like people in NYC pay way too much for rent, I'd pay $2000 for that apartment.

    Living alone is great, you really gain a sense of independence. It's wonderful to share a home with the person you love, but it's nice to have space and that sense of control you have with living solo. LOVE her style, too. I am all about mixing multiple styles/vibes and bringing them together.

    I love what she says about living alone! As someone who has shared a room with a sibling and only a few years ago had my one room in the same house, I am looking forward to move in an appartment alone as I feel it would help me get to know myself better and challenge my sense of responsability, especially before commiting to any long term serious relationship.

    I got married after college. I sort of lived alone because my husband was in the submarine service of the Navy. His duty was 3 months on shore and 3 months out to sea. I liked both 3 month segments of my life. It was the best of both worlds. You seem like a really nice person and I would be happy to live next door to you.

      reminds me of the dress *Ashley Kai* was wearing *[$1750 in L.A.]* although •hers• was long and from my end, a kind of muted mustard yellow (not sure if the camera translated the color?)..but similar vibe, both outfits, imho..and i don't think *i'd* look good in either - but both of the ladies looked comfortably 'at home' and absolutely beautiful and elegant in those dresses..and maybe it's something *only* worn at home? and/or in a 'homey' environment?..but to me, they each looked lovely!: and like sisters from another mister..well, they'd fit right into *my* extended, *'United Nations'* 🌈 family, anyway, *LoLoL!!* 😆 if they *were* sisters in a parallel Life! 💁🏾 😄

    I loved living alone. I was never lonely. I just enjoyed the hell out of it. I had roommmates off and on, and I loved them too,. Now I’ve been married for 29 years and have 3 children, 19, 17, and 13, (all still at home at the moment, one leaving the nest in a couple of months) but love this stage too. I guess I’m well adaptable.😄

    I just watched your Sweet Digs video. I know it's been awhile since you posted it but I just wanted to say how much I loved it, as for the sofa, I love the color it is although I did see in the comments someone say blue and I think a deep blue would look gorgeous, maybe in a velvet type fabric. I personally stay with neutrals because you can add color with pillows and throws. I heard you mention how living alone is character building and I must agree although mine came through in a sad way. I moved straight from my parents home to being married at 16, he recently past so for the 1st time at 54 I'm living alone. Good or bad it is a great way to learn about yourself, I highly recommend it. Well God bless and hope things turned out great for you!! Love an update

    the key to living in a small apartment is order and organization, if you have a lot of things it is a problem, unless you can make everything in order. It is difficult but you get used to it, in my case I live with what I really need it costs in principle but you adapt, now I like the simple and minimalist, because I have no other option hahahaha :)

    I think a lot of these folks think they’re very unique and “quirky” but they are actually all the same. They morph into one collective blob of Hipsterdom.

      Omg. I was thinking the same! It starts to make tour skin crawl after awhile. Never mind all the people being pushed out of their homes!

    Her apartment seems so spacious for 600 square feet. So bright and airy, I agree that the couch is overpriced. I did see comments about it being “mid century modern collection piece “...,,,,ummmmm yeah....,overpriced and the purchase could have been better. Overall a great looking apartment! Cute!

    Your apartment is one of the best that has been featured so far. Real estate in New York is 500% luck. If I snagged that place I would never leave!

    LOVE the sensibility of the design! And get new cushions altogether for the sofa- thicker, fluffier, more comfy and modern:)

    I've been watching a lot of apartment hunting/tour videos from NYC and this one is amazing! Like yes, 2000 is still a lot every month, but she has space and it's so nice! There's all these influencers out there wanting to live in SoHo or the West Village cramming into tiny 1 bedrooms with no light for $3000

    I love this apartment I have always wanted to live in NYC but being from a one stoplight town I have a huge fear I wish I could overcome.

    I like the airy feel in her space. Lots of natural light. The plants are a good touch too. Btw, she got ripped off on the “$600” couch
