A Reddit user posted a photo of an apartment that can be rented in New York for $ 950 (almost 27,000 hryvnias).
The owner of the apartment, 31-year-old Ron Erwin, claims to live in one of the smallest apartments in New York. Its area is 100 feet, or 9 m2. The apartment has a mini fridge, twin beds and a clothes hanger, but no hob and private bathroom. The man shares a bathroom and toilet with a neighbor from another apartment. He doesn’t need a stove or a microwave because Ron rarely cooks. He also has a common yard.
Ron makes the most of space and furniture: a chest of drawers is both a desk; chairs – only folding, instead of a closet – a clothes hanger.
Erwin posted a video of his sightseeing tour of the apartment in his TikTok. It received more than 2.1 million views.
In an interview with Insider, Ron said he saw the surrender announcement about a year ago when he moved to New York.
“The price was right. I’m fine. So I just took it and I like it all. And I love this area, “says Erwin.
However, this way of life is not suitable for everyone. In the comments, people are surprised not even by the size of the apartment, but by the size of the rent.
“Damn, you actually pay to live in a prison cell, and they even have a toilet,” “A closet for $ 950 a month,” “I don’t quite understand what an apartment is called.” It’s a single room with a sink, “” If you don’t have a window, it could be illegal, “Reddit users wrote.
