She needs to do a “how to find an apartment this beautiful in Brooklyn for $2300 episode.” Very dope space Sis!!!! Keep going!
Год назад@adrianprestell +33
I’m trying to see if she owns or rents this place.
Год назад@50crowley +104
$2300 is an absolute steal for this place. It must be rent stabilized, because this apartment would easily rent for $3200 on the market.

yeah they really do a disservice to the viewers with the pricing. what's the point in showing these beautiful apartments with discount prices if they are extremely rare? Anyone who has apartment hunted in brooklyn/crown heights knows the chances of finding this place for $2300 are next to zero.

YES. We love patiently curated pieces collected over time. YES.
Год назад@madeleinerose7090
What makes this place so special is that the rent is claimed to be about one-third the price it should be. 15’ ceilings; original parquet floors; original, perfectly preserved solid wood mouldings, windows, shutters, fireplace, and massive pocket doors; huge kitchen; TWO bedrooms - the only unfortunate aspect of this apartment is the tiny bathroom, and even that has a beautiful window in it. $2300 should only get a dark, cramped studio. Her stuff needs to be cleared out to make way for someone who has the ability to decorate this exquisite piece of history appropriately. She is obviously getting this gifted to her from family (or a ‘friend’) because it is an extreme mismatch.

@@adrianprestell I would say you get MORE space for your money in Brooklyn but this looks like an at least 1000 sq ft space and Crown Heights is a cool part of BK.

Just discovered this channel and I'm excited to dive into your content. Just a thought after watching this particular video - if the rent rate is being mentioned, and there is an obvious "deal" going on, perhaps have the renter can share how they got the rate. A non-NYer viewing this video might otherwise get very misguided about what $2,300 can get them in the city.

Beautiful apartment. You need more art pieces on the wall and inside your cabinet there. Use peel and stick for a hook for your small art prints. The art you do have is amazing and your kitchen is so fab. I can't believe the space for New York but it's amazing. I'm so glad you have plants throughout your home because it creates clean oxygen in your apartment. Try hanging eucalyptus from your shower for a spa effect. There is way too much light in the bedroom for me so I would buy maybe some sage green curtains that i can always pull back to let the light in and you need a nice large colorful print over your bed and maybe a hanging plant.
