literally day one

How long before you just stop getting out of bed full stop.

Ha ha ha, I was just thinking the same thing!

Gotta be really conscientious, really hopeless or really desperate to live in Paris, to take this space.

That would get old fast

In fact when you live in Paris usually you are always out: restaurants, bars, cafés, public parks, theaters, etc., and also you travel a lot, so you don't mind that much to have a small home.

@Christine Taggart ?

@@GaylordBonnafous Wonderful when you are in your 20s or 30s but if you are still a barfly with no intellectual life (books, anyone?), it won't matter whether you live in Paris or Timbuktu, you will be an empty individual. And does no one miss books in these micro apartments? Maybe even a library of books?

@@Arabzene In fact I used to live in a small flat in the center of Paris while having hundreds of books... Anyway there are dozens of public libraries in Paris where you can rent books for free. Without mentioning books on the internet... People who live in large houses in rural areas don't read more than people in large cities. In fact it's quite the opposite...

@@Arabzene Plus a lot of people in Paris read in public parks, in the cafés, and most of all in the metro.

And probably gets stuck easily.

It's a clown car with a mattress and shelves

Jimmy Darmody LOL I'm all right as long as there's a computer with fast internet. LOL jk

Jimmy Darmody Actually, it is. I was always baffled by the sizes of American houses. My current room is less than 10 square meters and it's absolutely enough.

ExclusiveLM That was really funny! I couldn't stop laughing after I read your post.

Jimmy Darmody LISTEN! the room where I keep my books is bigger than that damned match box! Let me stay in my little 3rd world house where I have a yard and fruit trees and a lovely 2 bedroom house!! THIS is what it takes to live in Europe??/

David Edwards LMAO People are like, “Oh it’s SO nice!”

It's not like there's much there to do. 😆

Lol right!

💯

Corona

Poorly "designed"

You guys are crazy. Who wouldn't want a toilet in their shower!?!?

@@PurpleMangoTimeExactly - poor design. And I don't like those big flat European pillows. Not the only things that need plumping up.

It's too much in such a limited space

Good for you. But I can't image living in small or if I say cramped space.

To breathe

Thank you.

@@sunkara8158 you don't breathe in Paris, there's cigarette smoke everywhere

Amy agree! the cleaning is a lot easier in small spaces too. I’m OCD so I must clean every week lol. I live in a 500sq ft. One bed room apartment. While it’s small for a lot of people, it’s big enough for me. My living room + kitchen area is 200 sq ft. I designed it like a studio. All my family and friends were impressed when they saw my place and thought I have a cute studio 🤣

Dorm rooms are hell. Just try to study in a noisy pit like that.

This is NOT a dorm room but a space to live in for YEARS year round.

Agreed. Wages aren't rising much but rents sure are. Gotta get practical at some point and have options like this around.

That’s why you should get a good job.

Girl exactly. The audacity of these landlords

Precisely!!!

@@BimmerBabe landlords? Its the people who rent this shit who are idiots. The landlords are smart for making use of said idiots. Its wrong, but hey it works.

But full size is a lot more expensive.

@@reginaworthey1401 it would almost undoubtedly need to be somewhere else, is the implication. It's always a trade-off. If you want to live in some place like Paris or New York city where the rent is extremely expensive but you have access to the things those cities offer, then that's a choice someone might make. Someone else might be willing to trade some of the conveniences of living in a big city for more space and freedom to move.

you had a tv in your cell?

@@70spoem In some countries that‘s normal🤷🏽‍♀️ I know that in Germany, you have a right for a TV and at least where I live, every prisoner has a TV in their cell.

Watch a video on Hong Kong cage dwellers and feel happy and fortunate for what you have, immediately

Escanor!!!

This is too much like the cage dwellers.

Light Yagami watch a video about Hong Kong’s cage homes. please be grateful for what you have.

Yeah it’s not easy having cabin fever

It's all about perception. Good comment 👌

Lol.... now there’s something to strive for....

It does depend on your point of reference.

It would be logical if it was cheap, but Paris flats are expensive af even when they are very tiny

How are you doing now?

Hotel rooms are bigger than this. But I hear cruise ship rooms are tiny like this.

Not for Real life!!

What? I was often in my room during uni

Yeah... these kinds of renovations aren't cheap. They're not poor. They just want to live in a city that happens to have an extremely high population density like Paris, NYC or Tokyo.

This comment makes you sound very uneducated. Have you even been to a city like Paris?

They could get some ideas from the tiny house crowd on making it a home!

How did nobody stop to ask if it's really necessary to have two sinks directly next to each other?

@@seano4443 it said at the beginning why they did not build a loft. It would take so much Light away

@4ourfutureinfinity maybe the loft would make the kitchen underneath darker? There are buildings across so maybe that causes the sunlight to light in from unfortunate angle that it would darken the kitchen? Or maybe the loft would be too dark from that angle? Dunno, but I believe they thought about it because they said that they didn't want to do loft because of the Light

Amen.

Meggie Gei yea it suits people who are looking to visit but not wanting to stay in a hotel

Meggie Gei My grandchildren and I camp in a tent much smaller than this, it we can go home in a week.

Well unfortunately when you’re a student in Paris you have no choice but to live in a teeny tiny space like this one and this is a well thought and clean one! « Apartments » With shower in the middle of your kitchen/living room/bedroom do exist. The city si so big and rents are so expensive that you don’t really have the choice actually ;)

To

Meggie Gei ya

Nobody lives there yet, so probably that's why. You could put dining table next to the bed, in front of the window. She sais on the wideo thta you could have a Coffee table also, but they probably leave it to the person who moves here. Why do you need a bedside table when there literally is so many shelves right next to the bed

Kitchen table I get. But I'm not a fan of a bunch of tables. I don't really care for coffee tables because I've always told my shins up. Not a big fan of bedside tables either

All she needs is a multi purpose table or something that folds and she could put away

Barbie4U2 she explained that in Paris most people live outside. That is your seat or your coffee table. I could do it.

This is Europe in a nutshell. A lot of fame, no comfort and all for a ridiculously high price. Believe me, I lived there

Erika Jean Salazar Qqqq

ABsolutelly agree! So much wasted space actually for such a tiny flat

I agree. They could have did a loft space in the living room and the cabinet shorter. I think if they showed more features we could get a better feel of what could be utilized.

True

Crux161 I was thinking the same thing

Lazy design solutions....

tfw all this to not drive to a grocery store for 10 min when its a 3 min walk away from you but the city and land developers refused to build a sidewalk.

Is Like french when Napoleón was the cónsul

Real houses that force you to get a car, so you have to spend more time in traffic.

+Christie Janvier I believe that. I've tried living in a 3 bedroom apartment with one roommate and 2 cats, it still drove me crazy.

I agree with you Christie--been there, done with that! It is ok for a limited time when very young, you can put up with it for a while but eventually you need an improved lifestyle--a garden, fresh air, a bathtub. There is a reason there are more mental health problems in crowded cities than in communities with more space, privacy, less noise. Noise pollution, anxiety, insomnia, high blood pressure, headaches, body pains from stress, artificial lights, aggravation, irritating neighbors. Human beings need personal space for relaxation and being alone with one's thoughts for some period of time each day. Eventually in life you want to throw dinner parties, you need a dining table, space for guests, and it is nice to have a couch, a full sized bed, a desk to sit and write, another room to go into and close the door, room to dance if you want. But if a person wanted a place like this for the weekends, or to have a pied a terre for some days of the workweek then get out on the weekends, I can see holding on to a space like this. But people are being sold on the idea that micro-living is somehow progress, when it is exploitation in many cases. Landlords will carve out a closet to rent if they can get away with it--people should not be overly convinced that micro-apartments are healthy, or that there is not greed involved, look at London, people trying to rent out a storage room under their stairs as a place to live.

**Christie Janvier* ~Ouais, quoi! C'est vraiment tant trop cher...et vachement trop minuscule pour le fric qu'ils veuillent gratter, t'as raison!!

I’m in America... I don’t have to have a lot of space... but some where I don’t feel like I’m in a closet ... is Nice... it’s like camping. Gets old quickly.

Brigid eww. Just not my “choice” for sure

Teddy 97 I would need the back support of a couch because I have neck & back problems & wouldn’t want to sit hunched up on a bed 🛏. That’s why I had a klick-klack when I lived in a tiny room. I can rearrange my room but I can’t get a new back!

It's paris. They are happy to upgrade from sleeping with pigs.

@@kiddhkane😂🤣 I don't know. That might be a tough decision for them!

Same carelessness while putting the pillows back into the drawer.

Lol!

I spent quarantine in a 250 sq ft apartment and was just fine, but this is ridiculous.

Not so bad if you have VR.

💯 correct 😂🤣😂🤣

Quelle horreur... Appeler cette cage un appartement...😅😂 Bien conçu mais ridicule.

You made the right decision. Would love to see your video. Open space is priceless. The cities are to Babylonian and of this fallen world

@@dontgiveinfo Cities are indeed rooted in Babylon. God confused their languages so they won't be united in evil.

In socialist countries you only need the clothes on your back

@@willt3223 this is the the result of capitalism lmfao

D Deeze it’s probably in the closets she didn’t open by the bed. But they probably only have a few outfits and shoes.

@abcun17 haha so true! even the roll-away bed :))

😂 now that's a good one🤣 absolutely right..😂😂😂

eurobabe I have a loft style bed n I love the amount of space it provides me underneath..a king size bed would basically take up 3/4 of my floor space.. but now I got 💯.. (not to mention, they are very easy n cheap to build)

When speculation takes over you end up with a real value and estimated value living on different galaxies hhhh ! This is saddening... Even more when you see that this trend ends up slowing down the sales.

Ever play Starship Titanic?

***** All the "positives" you mentioned have nothing to do with the people actually living there.

***** You're doing a lot of things wrong if you're not "actually experiencing things" at home. Making one's home their favorite place to be is one of the main goals in a person's life, however much they love being outside. If there's a reason you don't like staying at home, fix it. Going out just to escape from your own reality is detrimental to doing something about it.

+xXPorcelinxxRoseXx - I live in nyc. we experience our lives outside and only sleep in our apartments. life is more interesting outside. but living in a tiny space with nothing also means you are not living because you have no books, no favorite things, no mementos, nothing that makes it your home. The apartment in the video looks slick because it is empty. when somebody actually moves in with clothes, makeup, shoes, books, coats, pots and pans etc... the place is going to look like a disaster. You cant live in a place like this for a long time and make it your home.

Seriously! I was getting claustrophobic watching this.

Most people who's first language isn't English tend to say okay a lot. Not because she's convincing herself it's okay....

If you have no choice, I mean it is a great organisation with a modern look.👍 In Paris, appartments are very expensive! You optimize the space management. Moreover French are less demonstrative than american. They dont say "wonderfull" "tremendous" in every sentence 😊

Stephen Murphy Many Americans are ignorant and arrogant like that

@Thisgirlashhley You are correct, but she is also showing clear signs of someone that has been psychologically damaged by the confinement.

The number is wrong :) the apartment in the video is about 19 sq m... I lived in a similar one with the same size, it was actually really comforting because of its interior (it was a little bit more colorful and welcoming)... Now we live in 54 sq m flat with my husband and it is two big rooms (just the living room is as big as this apartment in this video) so 129 should be at least twice ss big as ours... :)

Lovely🤗👏👏

You might actually cause an explosion if you fart while cooking.🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

My first thought!

And rent free. That Anton is some smart minimalist, I'm telling you.

I havent been to Paris but I was thinking exactly what you said. It would be fine if the rent is affordobale for people but places like these seem more like a way to maximize profit instead giving affordable options.

What is expensive? How much per month?

@@jessicas3359 This one is newly renovated, and, depending on the location (it looks like it's the 2nd arr? So, as central as it gets) it's probably 1000-1100 eur /month. Plus utilities. You can't get a studio of this size in central Paris for less than 800/month. The other big cities in France are more decent. You can get a normal studio (not a box) or a small one-bedroom for 500/month.

Deja Vu really? I have a friend living in a similar place in district 13; she pays 700€/month. I don’t think it’s that expensive , she lives alone. Here in Spain, Madrid or Barcelona, you pay less but you share apartment.

Médina Maëva I am one of those people, if given a choice between “a tiny place in central Paris” vs “a regular apartment on the outer edge of Paris,” I’d definitely pick the former. Cheap or expensive-I guess that would be subjective, especially on UKposts where many of the viewers come from areas where one can rent a house the size of a gymnasium for 50 Euros or US$ 55/mo. To them, an apartment that costs 800 Eur should come w/ a maid and a tennis court. Of course, they can’t understand why anybody would live in a micro-apartment.

lol

Lol

I wouldn't feel comfortable washing my hands or teeth in the kitchen sink, I feel is a way of cross contamination...

I thought exactly the same

Yeah, in that bathroom sink space they could fit a good size wardrobe

That's like a prison cell... why you are so conformist? Bitch, you need Jesus!

i understand your point, but 12m is a crazy thing!

temhotabot yup

Dj V-Future LMBO......and I bet she's paying over $1000 a month for that box called an apartment. 😂

Tess W No, apartement in Paris are not extremely extremely expensive. Sure it's pretty expensive but I think she paid nearly 300€ (Excuse me for the mistakes, I'm French)

I pay 117.19€ monthly and I own my place.

I guess I could rent a dumpster for that price :( I'm jealous now x)

That place is like my living room only and I'm in Mex...

can't u like share an apartment with other people with common living area, kitchen, maybe even the bathroom?

This is why Nantes is so great, a lot of space for half of the price of Paris.

Not all big city flats are like this. Many are much more spacious. My big city apartment had a full kitchen. But, if you dislike the busy nature of living in a city then you would not like living in a city.

You have to think of where most of the population lives in France. Paris is extremely expensive and there are building restrictions in the city to preserve its looks and architecture. Outside the city is way cheaper

Its a nice kitchen, but more for decoration than for use. 🤣

good, stay away

Paris is a ghetto now.

@One Nation Under God I guess that what god wants.

My mother went in her 20s (she is 57 now) and we stayed there in our way to Switzerland in the 90s.... It was beautiful. The City of Love. Full of culture and just an amazing City. My sister goes a year ago with a group of friends including her boyfriend who is French and OMGGGGG she was absolutely disgusted and so were the group. Her boyfriends parents ended up leaving Paris after living there for 35 years. Its a hell hole now. I wanted to be proposed to there when I used to think about marriage. Not now!!!!!!

@@raphaelr8472 ohh please France is no better

Roca Bibaby yeah me Too remind me when my uncle touched me

inesperfectdrug Thank god....that's what I like about it.Why is any sort of music necessary?

Eyaura Eya what flow? It separates the bedroom from kitchen and creates the illusion of more space.I prefer " naked " floors in small places.

Here's an idea - take the largest room in your house, turn it into 4 tiny apartments, charge $800 for each and get rich.

Patrick Faulkner The living room and kitchen can be a common area!

Steph Ccc Because it is not just any city, it is Paris, very expensive and very, very beautiful

@@EM-qx3hx Paris is a beautiful city for tourists. But the reality for Parisian isn't the same. If you want to live in Paris City you have to be rich ou live in those room. But we are lucky to have Districts (Banlieue: cities around Paris) the rent there isn't that expensive (but still) and you are just 20 min (at least) far from the Big city.

She... she's the one in the video (Julie Nabucet).

Thank you for your reply. So she knows what she's doing. Happy now?

Ha. Don't mind. I do the same thing. Just found it funny.

No yeah but she says.

You can get coffee in Paris everywhere for 1 euro. Even at the fanciest place. They charge by the seating. So high quality coffee can be got for 1 euro at the standing bar.

+Filza N well luckily for you. These are available in nyc as well :|

I have a closet you could rent?!?

+pillowbugg lol

Filza N same here

they are not humble, they simply dont earn enough to afford a bigger place

Plus, this is a very fancy apartment ! most of them simply have a bed and the shower/toilets are often outside in the lobby

MissBerlinerin obviously they don't earn enough but judging from their personality they seem humble. At least in the videos I have seen. Why do you say they are not humble?

I wouldn't say humble, but they seem to be quite smart and creative people who have made life choices that put their personal self development above the material world. They are free !..

This is Paris, rents are on par with San Francisco

Surprise-me-babe I was thinking the same thing! 😂

On top of her... 🙄

In france we dont have the big big bed like you have but yes this is really Tiny for two person..

I live in a place like this in Paris with my three year old boy. Him and I sleep in the same sized bed. Some days you wanna cry. Most day's you're grateful not to be on the streets.

It looks like a 34 inch size bed. Aka, a super single bed. I have one. It’s fine for one, but I couldn’t imagine two people sharing it

Yes indeed, I can't breath watching this video

Wanna know what is really depressing? Sleeping in the street and starving yourself. 💙

Ablequerq: this looks like a nice apartment. What’s depressing about it? I would love to live here.

If you think about it, do you really need all that square footage? How much of that space do you actually use regularly?

The Japanese and New York versions are upbeat. Especially the Japan versions.

That's why Parisians are always at cafes and museums lol

Large space means more cleaning!

+lemonjuice8220 Guess alot of large home owners got cleaning assistance. So they don't have to clean themselves. Zero cleaning is less than just a little cleaning. The time they save by arranging that they use to accumulate more wealth I guess. It's all about prioritizing.

***** The cities are overpopulated,not the Earth,genius.Mostly because every hillbilly wants to live in the city.There are so many abandoned cities(around 100.000 only in Russia),villages and uninhabited regions in the world that can easily be populated with another few billions people.This overpopulation bullshit is just a propaganda of the elite who wants to control everything,including population growth.

I was just going to post the same thing! They could have had storage space where the small sink is.

Makes no sense to have 2 sinks that close together. One sink could have served both rooms.
