If you watched a sketch of a great country last week that laughed at the housing market in Tel Aviv - the most expensive city in the world, you might think that the following article is also a joke. But it is true for real. Because it turns out that Tel Aviv, which has already ousted larger and better cities from the top of the cost of living table, also has more to learn from New York City.
A video uploaded by a young man to Tiktok in which he shares a tour of his apartment - which he calls "the tiniest apartment in New York", managed to break viewing records on the social network and went viral.

Inside the "apartment" there is a bunk bed, a small sink, next to it a refrigerator (more like a minibar) and above it a microwave, two shelves for groceries, a few more shelves for clothes and ... that is, actually.
This concludes the tour.
What is not in the apartment?
toilet and shower.
In an interview with USA Today, Axel explained that when he has to take a shower or use the toilet, he leaves his apartment for a shared bathroom with a toilet and a shower (which means that his building has more apartments of the tiny and impossible genre).
Toilet paper by the way is not included in the rent and Weber should remember to take it with him every time he goes to the bathroom.
At least there is a window.
