US New York

There are space savers, and then there’s the madness going on in ‘the smallest bathroom in New York City’

We’re very well aware that property sizes in New York City can border on the ridiculously tiny. In fact, this apartment crosses the border and goes deep into the heart of ‘WTF is this and how is a person supposed to fit their stuff in it?’ territory.

But a viral TikTok posted by Emily Bonani@bananabonani – has possibly the most insane space saver we’ve seen thus far.

Prepare to be mad on her behalf.

Erm …we can’t believe nobody could have come up with a more reasonable solution. Neither could these commenters.

My brain wouldn’t allow me to use it bc it would trick me into believing water from the toilet BOWL is what’s coming out the faucet.

At least there is a sink.

I used to live in an apartment like that in Manhattan. At least you have a sink in the bathroom. Had to use the kitchen sink for everything.

Past masters of stacking things, Uno, gave some props.

You win, bestie.

Real estate company Zillow had thoughts.

The gasp I gasped.

In case anyone should be under the impression that lack of space is just a New York issue – welcome to Essex.
