Apartment hunting in NYC 2021! For some perspective on these higher rent prices... go check out my IG story. I posted a photo of one of my first rentals in NYC...a 250 sf studio in the UES I was paying $1,200 / month for. Enjoy the video!
The 2nd was huge easy to furinish and had a newer finish with the older feel but the 4th one was a couple thousand cheaper with a unique layout high ceilings and that terrace I like the first more but the 4th is really good to
Apartment number one wins by miles. The best spaces, without being overly big for just one person (and a big puppy), having a nice kitchen-living room space , best views, nice ammenities and outdoor space.
Erik: I’m moving because this rent isn’t practical when I’m traveling/for one person Also Erik: **only tours apartments that are close to/more than his current rent**
Super overcast days might be the BEST days to look because you see the apartment at its (almost) darkest, so you know the worst case scenario as far as lighting goes!
Honestly the 1 was the better for me.. It is indeed a little white boxish.. but they all were tbf... you can just add some nice color with the furnitures and art deco
Apartment 1 is the best for sure. Is it basic? Sure. But it's really nice, has plenty of space for one person and a dog, and (likely) great views. The amenities are great too.
1st one seemed to be a nice deal to be honest, as living amidst corona, you need everything to be as close to you, like the in-building gym. 2nd and 3rd are way too big for 2 people, and 4th is just weird tbh. That whole ladder situation makes no sense :P
The 4th apartment is so weird, that latter and the ceiling... my favorite for 1 person was the first too, maybe because I'm used to living in 'cookie cutter' places as well haha
I loves the first one with the 2 large south facing windows, separate bedroom, modern esthetic and great building amenities that sound like they are included in the rent. With the building amenities you do have access to more space. The first one also feels more like a home. Again those windows!
I loved the last one. You can adjust another kind of ladder for Theo, but that apartment with the price they are asking, all that outdoor space... perfect for a guy and his doggo.
The first apartement was my fav! It cost $7000/mont wich is cheaper than the other option,it has the best view in my opinion,the bathroom was really cozy,the rooftop nice,and you can save more money comparing to other option. Pretty much good deal if you choose the first one.
Yeah I was thinking the same. I’d much rather buy a house with $10k per month knowing I will own it. I cringe even spending the low amount of rent I currently pay. I can’t even imagine the feeling of tossing $10k to someone else every single month so they can pay their mortgage
Hes choosing the absolute most expensive neighborhoods in the city. Never understood why ppl pay high rents to live in soho when you can move uptown or to brooklyn, save thousands and be a 15 minute train ride away from soho
Who the heck thinks $10,000 a month is a good price to pay for a month's rent? The $5,000 one is better but still outrageous. Makes me glad live in Arkansas where I pay $750 rent.
I really like the 1st one. Seemed like best bang for your buck in regards to features and amenities. The last one is super cool and cozy and the price is right if you’re going to be doing a lot of traveling
Hey Mr Erik Conover i,ve been following your channel since 2018 i gotta say it been an honour to follow you on your journeys past 3 years ,watching your channel & family grow has been one of the most motivational factors in my life.Your content helped me grow as a person as well ,helped me make smarter decisions in my life.Congrats on all the success and thanks for all the motivation you been giving us past few years a devoted follower of your channel.
I‘d go with the 1st one- it‘s shape isnt as odd as the last ones and has a great view- don‘t underestimate that- after a period of time you will be seriously annoyed by this odd big building blocking the view
I think it’s interesting you decided to move out of the current place because it costs too much, but you’re second and third place were similarly priced. It makes me think you just want a new place to build new memories without Hanna. If that is the case, I understand. My younger sister just passed away suddenly in Oct. We were roommates, and that makes living in the place we shared difficult. I’m saving up to move as soon as possible. I’m actually going to move from Springfield, MO to Phoenix, AZ for work. I’m going to be buying a place, so this video gave me some good things to consider. My budget is way lower though, like $100k-$200k. Lol. In regards to apartments, I liked the first one best. I liked the fourth one, too. But you seemed to love the second place. Although, I agree - hanging lights were odd. I feel like that will be the one you choose. I also think it would be good to check out other places besides these four.
@@Jonathan-uc6we I don’t know why they broke up. Hanna indicated she had to sign a NDA, so she can’t talk about it. That tells me it didn’t end well between them. It’s none of my business anyway. I still support both of them individually.
I'm so sorry for your loss. I currently live in Phoenix, AZ and I think it'll be a nice place for a fresh start. You will never not grieve your sister (in my experience. I lost my mother young and my sister last year), but it will become easier to deal with. God bless.
@@michelletaylor4298 Thank you. I miss Danikka so much. I know I will carry that with me always. I had originally planned to move to Colorado Springs because it’s a big tech and insurance city, but my parents want to move somewhere drier and warmer. My best friend just moved to Phoenix last year. It seems like the perfect place for us. I currently work from home for Progressive, and they have a physical branch in Phoenix, so it would be a great place for me as well, if I want to move up the ranks. I’ve received some of my sister’s life insurance money, so I’m going to use it to for a down payment for a place. My parents are planning to sell their house and buy a place in Phoenix, too. The cost of housing is a bit of a shock compared to the Midwest, but that’s the cost for the increase in opportunities.
I don't think he meant it like that. It's like buying a van/truck or a car for $10,000. They cost the same but if you have no use for a van/truck then it's a waste. This new places he's checking out have a lot more usable space, so it wouldn't be wasted even though he's spending the same amount (if not more).
@@amber1862 He said he wanted to travel more now restrictions are lifting so didnt wanted to waste the money on an apartment if he’s not going to be in it a lot of the time
I feel like maybe he's actually advertising these apartments, not actually looking to rent them, as part of his youtube channel revenue. Coz yeah, why is he looking at apartments the same price as his current one, and yet smaller? Doesn't make sense. Feeling duped.
@@velily1 i think the real reason is he wanted to get out of the last one because it reminded him of his ex gf. he hints at it in begginning of video saying he wanted a new fresh energy for his apartment. makes sense i empathize
EC: “It’s pretty crazy how many people will sign on for a new apartment and only see it for maybe 5 or 10 minutes.” Me: Well, to be fair, most people aren’t looking at $7500 - $9000 per month apartments. Demand is high for more affordable places, thus forcing quick action. Also, I like apartment #2. :-)
In my opinion, the 1st one is the best. Reason - Its layout is like a real house, the finishes are awesome, the windows are big and the kitchen is really good and it has decent space and can be furnished really beautifully and as for the white walls, you can put paintings and stuff eric! The first one is not that expensive and is really greatt and good looking with best in class feautures and the amenities in the buildings are great too and a rooftop also. I will get that first apartment definately!
Theo is like: "I hear hooman talking, but he's not talking to me, who is hooman talking to? Maybe hooman is crazy... I'ma stay here in the fire escape just in case."
the last apartment you toured would be in my opinion the most versatile. the loft could be utilized as an office space with views from the A-frame windows.
I like the luxury high-rise. I know you say is a bit cookie cutter but its beautiful, modern and spacious and you cant beat those views. Plus the rooftop with the barbecue and a full gym in the building... A no brainer!!! The view from that apartment is why people move to New York!
I think that he realized he cannot travel as he wants for at least another year (due to the pandemic going worse in many places around the world), but he got tired of the apartment he is in now.
man i hope you move to the first apartment. the view is great, the prize is right, and the commodities it offers. man you will be able to make great videos and memories in such a beautiful space.
Definitely the first one ! Honestly, I even prefer your previous studio the 3 others appartments ... This is just impossible to fill all these empty spaces : weird shapes, lots of windows, huge doors ... And no rooftop !
Eric so glad to see you doing well and great to see a more casual vlog style video again! You’re a real gem of a human - I’ve been watching for a long time.
#1 is #1 for me, clean, polished and the kitchen is a dream. #4 has many things for it, the kitchen is great. The A-frame ceiling/window with all the light is magic. The price is great. #2 certainly has fantastic kitchen space and appliances....the over all space is very retro loft concept. #3 is very hap hazard, the kitchen looks like it was thrown together. I think very anyone who cooks and wants to entertain the kitchen is everything. When you cook having a nice amount of work space is crucial. So #1,2 or 4 would great, but #2 is the entertaining artist apartment. I love your videos so much....
Apartment 1 is actually the best one of the list. I just love that black windows with the white walls and these doors are absolutely beautiful. I think for your dog it would be also nice to have this outdoor space. 😉
Definitely No 1, it has the most practical layout, the best view and a nice outdoor area and gym. Nr 4 would need further investigation, with a bit creativity it could be a great deal.
Yes no. 4 even if he doesn't use the loft space he has a nice private bedroom tucked away + the open private deck is a nice place to have friends over!
After watching your videos for I guess more than 2 years, I have to tell you that I realy enjoy watching them and the NY atmosphäre is great (especially for a person living in a small village)
Number 1 is handsdown my fav! For 7k ur living in a pretty luxurious building w a rooftop, a gym, and an incredible view. Besides, the apartment space looks really clean, especially the kitchen and the bathroom.
I used to live in Kentuckyand it is amazing how many stupid people would spend 6,000 or more on rent a month when thats like 5 or 6 months rent down here
My favorite is #4. I agree with you in that I don't like the ladder to get up to the loft area, but that wouldn't be a dealbreaker for me. To me, that one is the most unique with that huge a-frame ceiling leading to the balcony area, which is a huge plus for me. I just liked the overall feel of that one best.
No 1 is my favorite. It’s has the best view, very functional, wide windows for natural light and I think is adequate space for you and Theo. The white is not boxy for me but expands the space. White expands the space. You can add accents furnishing with colors to tone that the whiteness. The view is a killer for me. Love it.
My favorite was the fourth one. The loft space could make for a nice home office space (I'm a film/video editor and colorist) and the uniqueness of the A frame is really cool. Only drawback to me is that big building.
love the morning brew newspaper, i’ve been reading for a few years. makes me feel so much more in touch with what’s going on in the world. life seems really peaceful for you right now, happiness looks wonderful on you!
Everyone of those apartments per month is more than my mortgage is per year and my house is considerably bigger than all of them. Blows my mind how expensive rent can be.
Imagine spending over 100k a year on essentially a room and a small space behind some cupboards to put your bed with zero privacy. Do yourself a favour, save up and buy a place instead.
You were right about checking apartments at different times. I heard a story about a couple who bought an apartment in Red Hook. They paid nearly 6 figures for the place. They did not check the area first. After moving they found that the neighbor across the street was a milk distributor. Of course that meant they worked from around midnight till midmorning.
Definitly apartement 4. Yes it has a ladder but if possible a twisting staircase could replace it. It has that House feeling, that the others didnt have which would make it an easy choice for me
Apartment 2: lots of space and it combines old with new. Lots of light which is super nice! I think it’s stunning and seems to suit you. Good luck with the apartment hunt...can’t wait to see what u pic!
Your dog would like #4, the last one, the best. The outdoor room is priceless despite the ok view and look at the $ available to use elsewhere saving on rent.
I like Apartment 4. Not only is the rent the cheapest, but there is a lot of space and natural light. The kitchen and bathroom are all new, which is a plus. And that outdoor space + tall ceilings + in apartment laundry = perfect. I also (surprisingly) like the loft. I think it could be used in many different ways - office, guest bedroom, storage, etc.
Every time when I see someone living in a big Appartement/house or with lots of furniture, how do they clean the place and does it collect dust? I have to clean my room once a week, wiping down dust and vacuum to keep it clean. Or do you just have a cleaner come to your place?
My advice is neither of them. First one of you really have to choose. I don’t know why you are moving, but your current place seems like a fantastic find for that price point. Do you really need to continue spending this much money for a clone of your current place? My suggestion cut your budget in half and get a smaller place. Smaller places are much easier to maintain. Theo might not be as happy but it gives you an incentive to take him for more walks. Also, why not consider other boroughs? Yeah, Manhattan is cool, no doubt, but from what I understand you can get a much better place for half the price in, say, Brooklyn. Don’t throw money to the wind. Pretty sure you will move at least a dozen times before you finally settle down in a retirement home Edit: typo
I vote for either of the first two --- (a) the first for the quality of the finish, and (b) the second for the space --- it's perfect for your furry baby.
@@erikvanconover Yes, you inspired me to take up an internship in NYC in the summer of 2015 and I had the best time ever! Been a joy to follow your journey all this time 😊
apt. #2 is my favorite. it’s unique and charming, although the lights are a bit weird. you could definitely add floor lamps and other fixtures to distract from the lantern-things. i love that the bedroom isn’t completely closed off, and there’s a ton of space!
Ayo if I'm not wrong you are moving out of your current apartment because it is too large for you and Theo and your current apartment is probably 2000 sqft. Then why would you consider living in Apartment 2 which is also 2000 sqft? However, my fav apartment was the 4th one.
tbh the first one seems the best option in my opinion but obviously you should like it so loft is also a great idea! loved the video, such a chill vibe 😌

First one!
Third
The first is the best
First!
Apartment number one wins by miles. The best spaces, without being overly big for just one person (and a big puppy), having a nice kitchen-living room space , best views, nice ammenities and outdoor space.
It is for 2 people I think
@@joellee6671 Just one sadly. Erik and Hanna split a little bit ago, so happy Erik is moving forward with new things in life!
I agree 100%
Yup number one is the best for me too. even better than his current loft. his current loft does have character but the space is not utilized fully imo
Too bad he already chose number 4, the worst of the bunch :D
I didn’t particularly like any of these that much. Number 2 though, is a big no. It’s just the offbrand version of your current apartment
It was cool I guess, but I passionately hate electric stoves and the elevator is scary
Number 2 bathroom is actually the best one out of all of them. Still, they need to fix the flooring and the walls to make it more modern.
@@nntflow7058 some ppl like a vintage/classic look, modern houses can be very cookie cutter
Erik: I’m moving because this rent isn’t practical when I’m traveling/for one person
Also Erik: **only tours apartments that are close to/more than his current rent**
😂😂😂😂 exactly what I was thinking like why is he touring large lofts in that price range. There are great apartments under 6k in nyc lol
Probably not the actual story of that apartment, lived there for a couple of months had it on his channel and now its sold.
@@eden5260 it’s being renting now. Didn’t sell.
@@erikvanconover what
My thoughts exactly!
Super overcast days might be the BEST days to look because you see the apartment at its (almost) darkest, so you know the worst case scenario as far as lighting goes!
Good perspective to have !
Honestly the 1 was the better for me.. It is indeed a little white boxish.. but they all were tbf... you can just add some nice color with the furnitures and art deco
Fr
Apartment 1 is the best for sure.
Is it basic? Sure. But it's really nice, has plenty of space for one person and a dog, and (likely) great views. The amenities are great too.
The first bedroom might not seem special but I definitely think it's better than your current loft sleeping area.
He wants brick walls, and feels like NYC.
@@CommandoMaster he can buy textured brick wallpaper and save several thousand dollars a month lol
Same thoughts
Yes
1st one seemed to be a nice deal to be honest, as living amidst corona, you need everything to be as close to you, like the in-building gym. 2nd and 3rd are way too big for 2 people, and 4th is just weird tbh. That whole ladder situation makes no sense :P

Indeed, number 1 is the best. Number 4 is just a mess.
me too
I loves the first one with the 2 large south facing windows, separate bedroom, modern esthetic and great building amenities that sound like they are included in the rent. With the building amenities you do have access to more space. The first one also feels more like a home. Again those windows!
Dude that first apartment was insanely good for the price and honestly was better than all the other more expensive apartments you showed after it
That first apartment for $7000 was wow 😍
I wish you good luck Erik on the new apartment searching
I loved the last one. You can adjust another kind of ladder for Theo, but that apartment with the price they are asking, all that outdoor space... perfect for a guy and his doggo.
I hate that you have to go, but I’m excited to see where you’ll end up! Thanks for taking us on this journey!
The first apartement was my fav!
It cost $7000/mont wich is cheaper than the other option,it has the best view in my opinion,the bathroom was really cozy,the rooftop nice,and you can save more money comparing to other option.
Pretty much good deal if you choose the first one.
There has got to be something better out there for $10k a month
Yeah I was thinking the same. I’d much rather buy a house with $10k per month knowing I will own it. I cringe even spending the low amount of rent I currently pay. I can’t even imagine the feeling of tossing $10k to someone else every single month so they can pay their mortgage

@@danielsmith8111 You can rent a full brownstone in park slope (one of the nicest neighborhoods in BK) for 10K
Who the heck thinks $10,000 a month is a good price to pay for a month's rent? The $5,000 one is better but still outrageous. Makes me glad live in Arkansas where I pay $750 rent.
That's the City for you
I really like the 1st one. Seemed like best bang for your buck in regards to features and amenities. The last one is super cool and cozy and the price is right if you’re going to be doing a lot of traveling
I totally agree! It's my fave too
Me: Oh I will move to NYC soon, I should check this video out!

Apartment #2 gives you the flexibility you need for any decorative concepts you have and there’s a bunch for Theo. Gorgeous loft.

I love the First apartment in particular. Definately something I would go for.
Keep posting this type of content!
Same here! That rooftop and view 🤩
EC: “It’s pretty crazy how many people will sign on for a new apartment and only see it for maybe 5 or 10 minutes.”
Me: Well, to be fair, most people aren’t looking at $7500 - $9000 per month apartments. Demand is high for more affordable places, thus forcing quick action. Also, I like apartment #2. :-)
In my opinion, the 1st one is the best.

The first one is not that expensive and is really greatt and good looking with best in class feautures and the amenities in the buildings are great too and a rooftop also. I will get that first apartment definately!
Apartment #1 was nice. Super clean design and layout. Beautiful view - simple living
Theo is like: "I hear hooman talking, but he's not talking to me, who is hooman talking to? Maybe hooman is crazy... I'ma stay here in the fire escape just in case."
the last apartment you toured would be in my opinion the most versatile. the loft could be utilized as an office space with views from the A-frame windows.
Ya or he can just use the loft as storage space for not too heavy stuff! But the living room and walkout private terrace is nice to have
I like the luxury high-rise. I know you say is a bit cookie cutter but its beautiful, modern and spacious and you cant beat those views. Plus the rooftop with the barbecue and a full gym in the building... A no brainer!!! The view from that apartment is why people move to New York!
Number 2 is my favourite. It has the most ‘NYC’ feel to it and the open space looks amazing comparable to your current one you are moving out.
Not having a washer and dryer in a NYC apartment as a standard feels so strange to me.. that's one thing so much better about living in London
What happened to: "I wanna travel, I don't need a big expensive place"? Now you show 9-10k huge apartments. The F?
Lol for real
I think that he realized he cannot travel as he wants for at least another year (due to the pandemic going worse in many places around the world), but he got tired of the apartment he is in now.
man i hope you move to the first apartment. the view is great, the prize is right, and the commodities it offers. man you will be able to make great videos and memories in such a beautiful space.
I love Aparment 2. As a interior designer that gives the best function and flow.
ur crazy
It was SO good.. except those lights??? Who would choose that.
Theo is just a whole mood :D love your doggo.
Definitely the first one ! Honestly, I even prefer your previous studio the 3 others appartments ... This is just impossible to fill all these empty spaces : weird shapes, lots of windows, huge doors ... And no rooftop !

You lost me when you said the kitchen “has everything you need, 2 ovens and a cappuccino maker” 😂
I just realized there was a voiceover while you were touring the apartment. I thought you were shit talking the apartment in front of the agents 😭
#1 is #1 for me, clean, polished and the kitchen is a dream. #4 has many things for it, the kitchen is great. The A-frame ceiling/window with all the light is magic. The price is great. #2 certainly has fantastic kitchen space and appliances....the over all space is very retro loft concept. #3 is very hap hazard, the kitchen looks like it was thrown together.

Apartment 1 is actually the best one of the list. I just love that black windows with the white walls and these doors are absolutely beautiful. I think for your dog it would be also nice to have this outdoor space. 😉
New beginnings are always the best feelings!!

My favorite was the fourth one. The loft space could make for a nice home office space (I'm a film/video editor and colorist) and the uniqueness of the A frame is really cool. Only drawback to me is that big building.
The first apartment had me like, “YUP! This is IT. When do I move in?”💯😍
I really think that the first one is the best. The lights, the roof and the space.
love the morning brew newspaper, i’ve been reading for a few years. makes me feel so much more in touch with what’s going on in the world.
life seems really peaceful for you right now, happiness looks wonderful on you!

I agree!! She is so useful and inspires me with my own channel
@@rayenharchay821 same!!!
@@John-oh8nq So exciting :)
The first one is the best for sure. It's all brand new and the amenities of the building are fantastic.
What bread of dog is Theo I love how he doesn't bark even at all the activity of New York
How tired and cute you can be?
Theo: yes
All the mr robot fans immediately recognized that "big building tho blocking the view" at 13:10
the second one is so cool - so much potential!!
Everyone of those apartments per month is more than my mortgage is per year and my house is considerably bigger than all of them. Blows my mind how expensive rent can be.
number 1 and 4, 4 BC they have big balcony for theo and 1 you have all gym, terrasse, bbq...number 3 not bad...
I love your videos so much. You're my favorit youtuber!
see you chose one! congrats Erik, I really liked this idea of vlogging apartments- for a short moment I feel like I am there with you, thanks! :)
Imagine spending over 100k a year on essentially a room and a small space behind some cupboards to put your bed with zero privacy. Do yourself a favour, save up and buy a place instead.
Erick Conover I think that apartment #1 is your way to go !
If it was me l would go for the loft apartment it was the cooler one of them all and the outdoor space was nice good for your dog ...
I like the last one because it has the outdoor space for puppy. First one is good too because you can take puppy to the roof top.
You were right about checking apartments at different times. I heard a story about a couple who bought an apartment in Red Hook. They paid nearly 6 figures for the place. They did not check the area first. After moving they found that the neighbor across the street was a milk distributor. Of course that meant they worked from around midnight till midmorning.
only veteran new york city ears can hear 6:38. there is ALWAYS a siren, a car backing up, or a horn honking in that damn city 🤣
its in any city tbh. You cant walk anywhere in the vicinity of center city without hearing that crisp knife sound of the sirens
The fourth is everything ✨
Your spelling is nothing 😁
@@dougy_dawg thanks😌not everyone can be a native speaker:)
Definitly apartement 4. Yes it has a ladder but if possible a twisting staircase could replace it. It has that House feeling, that the others didnt have which would make it an easy choice for me
Apartment 2: lots of space and it combines old with new. Lots of light which is super nice! I think it’s stunning and seems to suit you. Good luck with the apartment hunt...can’t wait to see what u pic!
By far the first one. Whats up with the ladder in that last one, thats just a lawsuit waiting to happen.
I kinda liked the last apartment 😳 it had a unique vibe
I agree!
Your dog would like #4, the last one, the best. The outdoor room is priceless despite the ok view and look at the $ available to use elsewhere saving on rent.
He hit "rent as high as $9,000" and I was shook. I thought 900 was expensive 🥴
Wish I had that kind of money dang.
When are you doing a tour of "the one"?
Good question
most likely not, I have A LOT of work keeping me in NYC for the summer
@@erikvanconover any upcoming house tour or penthouse
Four. What do you need all that space four? Use the loft to meditate. There is also an outdoor area for you & your sweet pup.
I like Apartment 4. Not only is the rent the cheapest, but there is a lot of space and natural light. The kitchen and bathroom are all new, which is a plus. And that outdoor space + tall ceilings + in apartment laundry = perfect.
I also (surprisingly) like the loft. I think it could be used in many different ways - office, guest bedroom, storage, etc.
Every time when I see someone living in a big Appartement/house or with lots of furniture, how do they clean the place and does it collect dust? I have to clean my room once a week, wiping down dust and vacuum to keep it clean. Or do you just have a cleaner come to your place?
There's no way he picks any of these apartments because the addresses are shown.
My advice is neither of them. First one of you really have to choose. I don’t know why you are moving, but your current place seems like a fantastic find for that price point. Do you really need to continue spending this much money for a clone of your current place? My suggestion cut your budget in half and get a smaller place. Smaller places are much easier to maintain. Theo might not be as happy but it gives you an incentive to take him for more walks. Also, why not consider other boroughs? Yeah, Manhattan is cool, no doubt, but from what I understand you can get a much better place for half the price in, say, Brooklyn. Don’t throw money to the wind. Pretty sure you will move at least a dozen times before you finally settle down in a retirement home
Edit: typo
Yeah, I'd prob keep looking, but totally agree first one was best :)
I vote for either of the first two --- (a) the first for the quality of the finish, and (b) the second for the space --- it's perfect for your furry baby.
Been watching since you interned at The Actor's Studio 🙂
Wow back in 2014!
@@erikvanconover Yes, you inspired me to take up an internship in NYC in the summer of 2015 and I had the best time ever! Been a joy to follow your journey all this time 😊
It's the first apartment for me 🙌🏿
Hi, Erik. Well, it seems to be the second is the most appealing to my taste. Love that elevator and the general space is very nice.
apt. #2 is my favorite. it’s unique and charming, although the lights are a bit weird. you could definitely add floor lamps and other fixtures to distract from the lantern-things. i love that the bedroom isn’t completely closed off, and there’s a ton of space!
apartment 4 with a nice view on the nsa data gathering building...creepy
Guaranteed GREAT Internet Connection, tho
Ayo if I'm not wrong you are moving out of your current apartment because it is too large for you and Theo and your current apartment is probably 2000 sqft. Then why would you consider living in Apartment 2 which is also 2000 sqft? However, my fav apartment was the 4th one.
He’s probably moving out so that he doesn’t have to be reminded that him and his gf lived here before . He obviously wants a fresh start
@@darekborges929 hit the nail right on the head.
tbh the first one seems the best option in my opinion but obviously you should like it so loft is also a great idea! loved the video, such a chill vibe 😌
so glad your vlogging again, more, please : ) I like the big one in the beginning. You need space with that big handsome puppy !
Do you experience difficulty in trading
