Room for one plate: viral TikTok shows off ‘the smallest apartment in New York’

AJ Webber offers a tour of his 75 sq ft West Village apartment and tells viewers: Whatever your expectations are, lower them'

Most New York stories ultimately revolve around property, but one TikTok user has shown the world just how crushing the city's rental apartment situation has become despite the Covid-19 pandemic.

In a 46-second viral clip, AJ Webber offered a tour of his minute, 75 sq ft, low-ceiling West Village dwelling that just barely contains a sink, a microwave, and a loft bed. The short video has now had more than 26m views on the platform.
