You've heard about New York City's micro-apartments, haven't you?

If you haven't, let us catch you up. NYC's first micro apartments became officially available to rent in November.

These apartments are located in a building called Carmel Place on East 27th Street and at they're sized between 260 square feet and 360 square feet. They cost between $2,000 and $3,000 a month.

After Carmel Place's opening, micro apartments were built at the Brooklyn Navy Yard last spring. They're equipped with kitchenettes, wheelchair-accessible bathrooms, nine-feet-tall ceilings, and big windows.

Tenants also have access to storage units and common spaces throughout the building, which makes living in such a small apartment more bearable. Developers say micro apartments are the future of urban living.

Is that the truth? That these tiny, used-to-be-illegal apartments are the future of NYC?

Well, now that Oliver, the no-fee broker app that helps New Yorkers find a great apartment in a neighborhood you want within your budget, we highly doubt it.

Still, we're curious what the inside of these micro units look like. Mostly, we're curious whether they're actually livable.
