Smallest apartment in NYC (New York City) …

… belongs to “cozy-crazy couple” Zaarath and Christopher Prokop and their two cats, according to the New York Post:

It’s a 175-square-foot Manhattan “microstudio” located in the Morning Heights neighborhood, which the couple recently purchased for $150,000.

Believe it or not, but the super downsized space does have its benefits:

“… [we can spend money in] areas that make our lives better [like restaurants and vacations]…. We get to really experience life and enjoy ourselves. We eat out all the time. On the weekends, we’re outside exploring the neighborhood. We’re at Riverside Park all the time. We’re not nesters. This apartment is perfect for someone active. If you want to stay home or entertain, this is just not the apartment for you…. No one ever stays too long. It’s too small.”

To each their own.
