I actually enjoy this more than a ''250 million dollar house tour''

I’ve never seen such a perfect little apartment before. I would feel quite content and peaceful there. How lovely it would be to snuggle up on that bed and watch the rain outside for hours on end.

This made me realize that nice US apartments really don’t need all of that extra space

The romantic in me might clean up that roof and with that little table with the fire burning thingy all nice would make a sweet little dinner spot with a date overlooking that pond at night with some lights strung up.

Just imagine a rainy day with all the doors open and screen doors closed. This apartment is awesome

The people in New York and California are peeing with envy right now.

For $300 a month that’s totally a steal for such a beautiful place! 😍💚

This house was more refreshing and homey than a million dollar palace.. when I went to Vietnam, we stayed in s place like this, except for the fact that it was swimming pool instead of a pond..it was so damn refreshing, specially at night!! Totally being nostalgic

That pond in itself is worth the 300.00 a month that whole layout is absolutely beautiful!

Please do an updated apartment tour when you fix up the outdoor space! It has so much potential:)

A little cleaning up and some decor would make this place more of a dream than it already is! I haven't returned to Vietnam in half a decade now and videos like this help me keep up with all the cool stuff happening in my home country. Thank you for posting 💜

The waterfall and fountain spout is probably to keep the water moving. Would help with mosquitoes since they like stagnant water.

imagine going downstairs and realizing you forgot your wallet

You have your own freaking pond!! Like, excuse me, A PERSONAL POND, omg

That’s a seriously awesome apartment, you couldn’t get something that nice or reasonably priced in the states, even in rural areas....great find

Imagine being the poor sod who has to deliver your water up 6 flights of stairs for 60k dong.

$300/month and that outdoor space *and* pond in the middle of the city? SCORE! Congrat's, Cory! :D

What a gorgeous studio! Compared to the overpriced horrendously old outdated horrible apartmenta here in my city, this place looks like luxury. Wow

You can also get dragonfly larvae, they will actively hunt the mosquito larvae.

Omg if I was single while without children this would definitely be somewhere I would love to live this is freaking awesome man like seriously I think the smaller the Cozier you definitely have it hooked up and you are very clean not to say that men aren't clean but my goodness it's nice to see

I can’t believe all the space and privacy you’re getting for $300 a month!!! Wish I lived there! It’s beautiful! Please make an update video when the pond is all cleaned! ❤️

This is a perfect size apartment for one person. And for only $300? Amazing.

Imagine having a nice candle lit dinner on the roof top with someone you really love.

You’re living at the Penthouse of the building.

"The western toilet has a little bidet hose to, like, wash your bunghole" It's the nonchalance that gets me

This would be like $4K a month in Manhattan

This is beautiful! Nice apartment! I know the waterfall probably doesn’t sound the best to you, but water flow provides oxygen to the fish. The water looks super stagnant. Hopefully landlord fixes the other one 🤞

Propane tank stoves are still quite common in Greece and Turkey as well. It’s no big deal. Till you are cooking something and the tank runs out right in the middle of the cooking...

As a Vietnam Vet (a US Army frogman in the Mekong Delta - 1968), it did my heart good to see such a well adjusted (and creative) young man living in a city that used to represent a totally different view to me when I was your age. I’m happy for you and your countrymen, that you have created a beautiful city from the rubble we left behind. We were so wrong to have invaded your country. Have a happy and prosperous life.....

This apartment looks perfectly designed! Thanks for the tour :) First video I've seen of yours so I've just subscribed and looking forward to more!

YOUR APARTMENT IS TOO CUTE, AND SEEMS RELAXING. MY FAVORITE PART IS THE DECK, AND THE POND. GREAT VIDEO

Honestly wish there were apartments like that here for $300 😭

“ to me it’s not peaceful sounding...like...i just feel annoyed like someone is peeing in my pond and...they.. aren’t stopping ” iconic

This is gorgeous. I love the sunlight

Why can't we have tiny cheap apartments like this in America T_T

I LOVE how well they used the space. There is SO much storage for how small it is. It looks fantastic

being a Hanoian, I can tell you that you have scored a pretty sweet spot!! Thanks for the sharing vid!

I love it. Living in something like this seems ideal for me, lol. It's beautiful. I was never the type of person to take up a lot of space anyway.

"I don't know why he is keeping them" maybe because he doesn't want to take it all the way downstairs lol

Wow, you really hit the jackpot when you found this apartment. Such a nice layout, excellent use of space, and storage. And the pond area is a little paradise -- I know where I'd spend all my time! I hope you have fun fixing up the outside and spend many happy years in your little haven.

I love how they created a "backyard" from the rooftop

PLEASE READ BEFORE COMMENTING ---> About the door lock, mosquitoes, the shower, or an update video. **Update video: there is none. I moved out of this place in January 2018, after living there for 1 year. Nothing changed during that time, except the pond was cleaned and more fish were added. **Door Lock: There is a lock on my door, it might not be visible in the video, which is why everyone is commenting that I have no lock. Trust me, I wouldn't live in a place with no lock. Also, the 1st floor is locked by a key as well. The landlord and his entire family live on the floors below me. The 1st floor is their family kitchen and TV room. If anyone tries to even come into the 1st floor, they'll be chilling with my landlord and his parents. **Mosquitoes & The Pond: Don't worry, there are 6 medium sized goldfish and 10 golden algae eaters to help eat mosquito larvae in the water. And I've fixed the tip of the water spout to spray out like an umbrella, so it's quiet and still aerates the water. I've found I have ZERO mosquitoes here, surprisingly. I leave my windows open all day for the cross breeze, but shut it at night to keep out moths. **Shower: My bathroom is what's known as a "wet bathroom" here in Asia. It's the most common type of bathroom in all of Asia. I grew up using wet bathrooms in Japan, and also used them when I was in Korea. Every Asian country I've been to (Japan, Korea, Vietnam, Hong Kong, Thailand, Taiwan, and Singapore) have all had wet bathrooms. I prefer wet bathrooms over western/American style ones, because whenever I need to clean the bathroom I can easily just hose everything down. In this apartment, when I shower, the only thing that gets wet is the general area where I'm standing. The toilet, toilet paper, sink counter, and mirror are all completely dry while I shower. What did you enjoy most about my new apartment? Have you ever had a rooftop apartment? What about a tiny apartment? Tell me all the details in the comments below! ^^ If you'd like to translate my English subtitles to a different language, you can contribute your translations here: kzfaq.info_cs_panel?tab=2&c=UCAQLIhgbZGo1GgyONrKHuWw Thanks everyone, and I will see you all in the next video!

"They are propane-powered." Hank Hill approves.

Amazing place! The pond it's just the perfect bonus, it just need moves at the surface of the water and plants for not let bacterias and algaes come too much like this.

Wow... this is like living “big” in a “Tiny” space.... love the apt design.

It's almost like you have three totally separate living spaces. I love when you can extend your indoor life outdoors easily, and your pond and second roof area are just really nice.

This was a very nice studio tour and I laughed when he said the fountain sounded like someone continuously peeing 😂😊

I love that pond, I would just go buy a couple more filter fish and let them be.

When I saw the thumbnail it honestly looked like it was clickbait especially for $300 a month but when I actually saw the video and the apartment looked exactly like the thumbnail I was shocked!

The pond/rooftop sold it for me. I'd pay $6-700/month for that place, honestly

I was getting nervous when he was up on the roof filming the view. No guard rails. Made my stomach feel funny watching it.

That place is amazing! And you sure can’t beat the price. Oh to be young and unencumbered again, I would love a place like that.

For being such a small inside space, its very functional. The monthly rent cost seems like a great bargain. I loved all the outdoor space. Thanks for sharing the tour.

I love how the sleeping area has big windows and lets in a lot of light and has a view of the pond and greenery. I just can imagine how beautiful it would look like if the pond has clean water and the plants replaced then add some potted plants too. Definitely a design inspiration- Im gonna copy that design... haha

Thank you for sharing! It's so nice and congratulations on your new place!

Cute, cleand and a great price. Really well-designed. I like the towel rack next to the window so it airs out. Omg and a pond!

You have a mini pond? WTF! That is the COOLEST thing ever!

Well you can definitely tell that your landlord is an architect, with those hidden compartments below the stairs and stuff. You got so lucky with that patio area and it's such a bonus your neighbours across the street have those amazing trees!

Love it Cory.. Thanks for the tour.. You found yourself an awesome place!!

dude, i am in love with how it connects to the outside with that pond. i could live there easily. so awesome

$300? 😯 Guess who’s moving to Vietnam!!

Besides having that washing machine on the other side of a thin wall, that's just perfect. I love the place.

Gorgeous! Can’t wait to see the renovations to the pond and patio!

I actually love how that pond looks already, its the most beautifull green color

Wow that is a very nice place. And the back patio and the roof top that is amazing for $300. Congratulation on your good fortune. Enjoy. I'm from AZ.

I live in Hanoi. Its so cheap it's ridiculous. I rented top two floors of a new terrace house (inhabited by family below) for 220 a month. 60m2. Two bathrooms balconies etc

When you said “bunghole” I literally LOL’d. It was much needed. Thank you!

This was the coolest tour. So humble and beautiful. I love that you have all of that rooftop chillin space! What a wonderful place to live in. I hope you do a part 2 and show us how it looks now. Sounds like you love plants too! I’d turn that into a mini jungle! Ahhh just love love LOVE! thanks for sharing 🧚🏽‍♀️

That is an amazing apartment! what a great deal

Your enthusiasm for your home is refreshing ! It's a lovely home, and I was glad to see that you left it open and light by not over decorating..

Lucky you. Once the pond is cleaned up it will be just beautiful.

You are a very humble person and also very thankful! You apartment looks very nice - although small. I hope you wil enjoy a nice and blessed stay!

You need to place many rocks, probably fist-size or smaller, to make the pond sound melodious. The reason brooks and streams sound so lovely is the water changing speed and direction as it moves through the rocks and plants. Lilly pads will help keep the water clear. So will some more water plants. And they will give you Amazing shadows at night. The fountain really should be running 24-7 to keep the water aerated. The fish will thank you for the air and the shade. See if your landlord is willing to contribute to the plant (& planter) fund. If he is, go for the nicest planters you can heft up the stairs. Some things you only want to do once. It would make the architect happy. And be an investment in his investment (tax write-off). You could even ask for floating lamps. I think the large clay pot is used to catch rain water. Your place is Stunning! I would be tempted to inter-space vegetable and palm trees at the edge of the upper roof. Privacy plus food. You could let a cucumber or squash plant grow past the window. And have pots of bamboo plants circling the water towers. Given the climate you could create your own environment. Turn the satellite dish over and plant a tree at the edge of the roof-line. Suspend the rusted bike from the abandoned and rusted clothing rack. Use chain to hang the bike from the rack couple of S-hooks to attach the chain, lean it up against a wall and ta da. If you can figure out a Murphy-bed you'd have more than enough room to entertain friends on rainy afternoons. Set the chairs in a circle around the fire-stove. You should be able to burn coal in it as well. Just have a jug of water nearby. Or bring two of the chairs down to the main level to circle the table Slat chairs are easy to fix. And easy to move from outside to in. If you found a folding table that could store on the balcony you could even invite multiple people over for dinner. Go hang out with the artsies. They usually have the best time. Or you can get a bunch of large uusions to turn your bed into a sofa. Which is an awful lot to drag up 6 flights. You must have legs of steel. My knees salute you. You are going to have an amazing time. Enjoy kiddo!

"Before we get started I'm gonna show you some things about my door here!" haha I was like..."Cory is me"...haha

Wow, I would move in immediately. It´s so nice! You are one lucky dude :) Thanks for sharing and hope you´re still happy and ehalthy in your gorgeous home.

This apartment is lovely! You can't beat the price and you have all you need, plus a luxurious pond! Love it! Thanks for sharing! :-)

I like the slide away features in the kitchen such as the ventilation fan over the stove

Hey Cory, Thanks for the tour 🦚 A few things, The fish are probably hanging out at the bottom because they need shade, If you put some more aquatic plants in the pond they will provide shade and clean up the water, If you plant some large leaved plants in the strip, such as, banana you can block out some neighbors and soften street noises, Using the coat rack, string, rope or wire & big pots up top you can plant some morning glories or some other fast growing vines and create a screen. 🚲 I like your idea of growing vines on that old bike. Cheers

What a nice tour of your home Very well designed and better quality features too Nice find

A really nice apartment. It's feels so cozy that you can live more healthy outside

Very practical. Functionality is a a running theme in Asian design . No frivolity. The Zen garden pond and deck is everything. Water sounds can drown out the big city sounds. That old bike would be very cool on a wall or as garden ornament. Ideal place for balling out with a blunt, but don’t fall off that roof cause you’ll really be fukked up. I really love it. Thanks for sharing.

What I enjoyed most about your video as a Canadian is your positive attitude about living in very tight quarters living very simply so three cheers to you from Canada

Thank you for sharing your life with us. Love your apartment. So very cool!!

Thank you for the video! What an incredible place you have! I love the outside area.

This apartment is soooo cool and beautiful. Great thing about our generation is that we don’t need to stuck in our own countries that charge 700$ for tiny tiny apartment with no sunlight forever and choose wherever we want to live. Im going to escape from my tiny dark expansive apartment someday and move to one of those countries that have bright big cheap flats.

That apartment is amazing. Let me know when your leaving, lol.

I highly enjoyed your tour. Plan on traveling in the coming years and this is helpful.

Hell, yeah! Thanks for the video. I’ll be visiting next month.

What a lovely rooftop terrace, thank you for showing us your home.

Very enlightening. Had no idea Hanoi had progressed this far. Thanks for posting.

Very cool! I love that place. Thanks for the tour. 💕

A lovingly designed little apartment . A lot of care to get that end result .

Loved your apartment, could listen to you all day. Was panicking you weren't going to show us outside, my nose was bothering me .😁 Wrote above during an ad near the end of your video then you showed us outside at night. Wow. Gorgeous.

Beautiful place, very cozy and affordable 👍👍👍💕💕💕

Your apartment is so cute and perfect for you! Loved how you kept showing more and more cool features! A lot of thought in that design. Please post another one when the pond is redone. I’m think it will be killer!

I really was not expecting such a relatively nice place! Especially at that price point wow! Makes a girl wanna move soon lol!

As someone who is Vietnamese, the propane stove tank is accurate and very normal.

CONGRATULATIONS ON THE NEW PLACE.

I LOVE your place, especially with the outdoor patio and pond.

Some aquatic plants would help use up the nitrates that are feeding all that algae in the water.
