Transcript excerpt

This is what £950 a month of rent in Zone 2 London gets you. Okay. So when we first moved into this flat, it was completely unfurnished as you can see in the video. Nothing came with the flat, but this is it now. So this is the living area where we watch TV and just hang out and eat and spend most of our time. And, yeah, pretty much everything that we've bought in the flat was either secondhand, charity shop, Facebook marketplace, or we found the street actually. Probably my favorite part of this part of the flat is the massive windows. It just brings in so much natural light. So that was the living area, but if you're interested in seeing the kitchen or the upstairs, which is two bedrooms and a bathroom.
