When you think of a tiny home, you often think of a standalone unit where you spend a lot of time outdoors, like an RV or camper that's permanent enough to build a porch or patio. This is not that. A Greenwich Village apartment that's a total of 77 square feet keeps going viral because it's so tiny. At seven feet wide and 11 feet long, you'd better bring a standard or twin size bed and not much else. It comes with a small sink and a mini-fridge, but no oven or stove. And no bathroom. There's a toilet and shower in the hall that is shared by four units. Imagine holding it in while someone takes their morning shower before work.

The rent has gone up since this video was posted in December. The apartment can be yours for a mere $2,350 a month. Why would someone pay that much to live in a tiny room with no toilet? Because it's Greenwich Village in Manhattan. You can still get a single room in other boroughs for less. With a toilet. Apartments in Tokyo of the same size are a quarter of the price.
This is just another example of why realtors tell you that location is everything. I would add that it may be the top thing, but you also need a little space and few other considerations. Maybe the house or apartment you have doesn't look so bad in comparison. -via Fark
