Influencers share peek inside shoebox NYC apartment where they are forced to live out of suitcases

Two roommates have shared a peek inside their “shoebox” New York City apartment, revealing that the space is so tiny, they are forced to live out of their suitcases because there isn’t enough room for closets.Audrey Stasko and Maggie Gholston, both 22, moved to the Big Apple after graduating from Auburn University, trading sizable Alabama abodes for an extra-small pad in Manhattan.The women say they love their lives in New York City, much of which they regularly document on TikTok, but they admit that their new dwelling has taken quite a bit of getting used to.While many Manhattan homes are limited on space, Gholston and Stasko’s apartment takes the concept of tight living quarters to a whole new level.It has hallways so narrow, the women can barely fit down them, and the only available storage for clothing is a single coat closet.In a viral video, which has so far amassed over 2.2 million views, they opened the doors to their humble pad, where they live out of suitcases.“Just come this way,” Gholston tells viewers as she shimmies down the hallway to their apartment door.
