my name is Erica Conover and I am a
daily YouTube filmmaker and for the past
three months of my life I have been
traveling the world non-stop living out
of one single suitcase and it has been
the time of my life and for whatever
crazy reason I still cannot figure out
why my travels have brought me back to
the place where all this started
New York City it's funny because the
first video I ever uploaded to this
YouTube channel was an apartment tour of
the place that I had when I first moved
to New York City with my girlfriend time
Jess so welcome to our apartment tour
welcome to our New York City apartment
tour we had just moved to New York City
we were young we had dreams and
aspirations and hopes and through some
crazy combination of hard work and luck
and fate those dreams sort of have
slowly started to come true and now I'm
back in New York City with all that said
today I'm giving you a tour of my New
York City apartment this video has been
a long time coming for everyone

without further ado let's get onto this
New York City apartment tour well
welcome shall we begin the tour no you
have a fit here welcome to my apartment
this is the living room
what come closer to me do mmm
Fraser way to do two three there you
walk in huge couch picking up free even
the old I should've gone with my shoes
on sugar okay first things first let me
take off our shoes the couch is from
Urban Outfitters very nice velvety couch
I like this thing so it's perfect for
like if you have a friend over they need
to crash big couch it's a MUX we will
now go to the dining room which is right
over here nice little table for four I
love waking up in the morning having my
coffee right here I also work right from
here which is really nice I mean I
bought this whole part out operation
over from the beginning so as you can
see oh my hey whoa hahaha oh there's
good neighbor great aha as you can see I
have some nice succulents to give some
life into this kitchen time diner okay
as you can see I have some beautiful
let's get some light into my dining room
and over here I have a beautiful picture
of two lonely well no they're not long
because they're together los santos
palm-tree sound let's go to the best
part you know the best part is the
bathroom no not the bathroom the bedroom
one of the main reasons why I got this
place was for this view of Midtown like
for me waking up every morning and
seeing the view of Midtown it's pretty
inspiration the best thing about this
apartment is the natural light when the
Sun first comes off it reflects off that
giant apartment building across there
it's a solid glass building you see what
I mean though look how bright the Sun is
reflecting off of that apartment
building right there
look at this light you could just play
in this light all day long you look over
this way and you have my favorite
building in the whole city the Empire
State Building in all its glory
blue skies Wednesday morning mm-hmm this
is my bedroom and you can probably tell
there's not much at all in here there's
literally just a bed for the past three
months I've been traveling around the
world with just a suitcase and a bag for
camera gear so I don't have anything I
have a bed some clothing and that's
about it it's a very minimalistic way of
living which is nice I've never lived
like that before when I first came back
to New York City I left the next day to
go do a job out in Los Angeles and I
come back from Los Angeles I'm on the
plane and I realized I didn't have a
mattress so my first night in my new
apartment I slept right here on the
floor I got all my winter clothes out
and I laid them down and stuff on the
floor I'm dead serious
my first night in the apartment
beautiful view of the city I forgot to
buy a bed before I went to Los Angeles
I'm sleeping on the floor in my
apartment I was literally on a plane
flying back from Los Angeles and I was
like I'm so excited to get back to my
new apartment and then like I don't have
a bed after sleeping on boats after
sleeping in hotels sleeping on friends
couches sleeping basically everywhere
but a proper bed it is so nice to have
like an actual bed I want to give a huge
shout out to Valle for partnering with
me on this New York City apartment tour
video without them I might still be
sleeping on my air mattress or even on
the floor so I wanted to give a big
shout out to Lowell
got this thing last week this is the
best mattress for New York City because
it comes to your apartment in a box it
just shows up in this big box I get back
to my apartment look what is waiting for
me in the lobby of my building this
right here is a proper mattress to sleep
on and look at this there's even a tire
sleeping on look how comfortable he is
so exciting
so exciting I have been waiting for this
moment since I moved in here then all
you do is you open this mattress and
it's like a suction that's air vacuumed
in there so I'll use you cut it open and
it inflates itself and there you have a
mattress in a box and now I guess we're
going to cut this open it's going to use
the code down below in the description
to get $50 off your first mattress with
that code you get a 100 night risk-free
trial of this mattress I highly
recommend it especially if you live in
New York City because they literally
show up at your house with the mattress
and you just pop it out a box and here
you know the bedroom is actually pretty
big as far as New York City bedrooms
come because you can see it's a sellout
sized bedroom in about a month or two
months when I actually have some
furniture I'm going to do an updated
apartment tour more so showing the
furniture this is just more or less
showing the space itself we're moving
from the bedroom to the bathroom I mean
I fit the bathrooms not really that much
of it I'll show it anyway bathroom is
pretty standard it has a nice big mirror
which is nice nice shower there's no tub
here which is all right all right now on
to the best part of the apartment the
kitchen which I use all the time I cook
your remiel thank you don't this is the
kitchen and this is actually a very rare
thing in New York City my kitchen has a
dishwasher all stainless steel
appliances granite countertops and like
I said dishwasher so that is it for the
inside of the apartment for the rest of
it we're gonna go to the roof
welcome
[Music]
and honestly this is one of the reasons
why I moved back to New York City was
because of this view it may sound pretty
stupid but I think waking up and like I
said in my bedroom seeing that when you
wake up it just that inspires me
especially in the days when it gets dark
alley four o'clock I've actually never
been in this part of my building and it
looks kind of sketchy but I promise you
it's not sketchy we are down in the
basement of my building who's that
shadowy figure of the stairs one of the
best things about this building is the
fact that there is a laundry room in the
basement if you live in New York City
you know what a hassle it is you know
what I'm talking about you have to go
get your laundry drag it out of the
house send it to the dry cleaner it is
filling his laundry in the apartment so
I don't have to leave the apartment
which is amazing especially this time of
year agent then we walk a little farther
over this way in the basement of the
building having all these amenities in
the building makes life so much easier
welcome to the gym in my building full
size gym free weights machines
ellipticals then you have a bench over
here treadmills over this way and this
right here this is my baby this is the
wrong machine this right here is my
go-to for getting back in shape
the only thing that matters we are
getting faster and that is all that
matters okay if you've been watching
these vlogs for a while it's pretty cool
to see just the progression from that
first apartment my first apartment if
you're new to this channel was probably
250 square feet it was one room I lived
there with my ex-girlfriend
two people in basically a one-room
apartment we had mice we had cockroaches
then finally last year we got a new
apartment and we thought this was our
dream apartment but it turned out our
neighbor was an ex frat boy who is
jacked out on steroids cocaine all sorts
of crazy and now finally to have an
apartment with a cool view laundering
the building a nice gym in the basement
I would be lying if I said that it
didn't make a difference to have all
those things and to live I want to say
comfortably but to live conveniently in
New York City because at the end of the
day in New York you're paying for one
location and - you're paying for
convenience your pen to not have to
leave your building to do your wash your
pants that come down after you wake up
and your gym shorts and tank top and
come out here and rip out a workout on
the rowing machine we are almost done
with this apartment tour there's just
one more thing I want to show you before
I end this video and I've been saying it
the whole video this is the best thing
this is the best thing but I feel like
as a youtuber your job is to sort of
hype things up and be excited about life
but I promise what I'm about to show you
right now is hands-down the best part of
this apartment
[Music]
Josiah waited to know
how ridiculous is this view at night I
mean in the daytime it's amazing but at
nighttime this city comes alive at night
