"The last apartment I was at wasn't that": Pokimane lists issues with old apartment

Pokimane's latest vlog not only featured a full tour of her new apartment but also showcased how she made the move.

After documenting her move for over six minutes, the Moroccan-Canadian streamer finally explained why she made the decision. She revealed that the lease on her old apartment had expired and that she initially had no intention of getting a new place. She said:

"I wanted to sit down and talk about my move, in my janky, undone stream room."

"My lease was up. And I was fully intent on staying at my old place. Cus I really liked it, and like, it was good. Actually it was great. The internet was great, I liked being on the space."

The 26-year-old then explained that there were many issues that had been bugging her while she was living in her old apartment:

"One, there was no way to set up in way I would have natural lighting. When I sit in a gremlin room: no sunlight, artificial light. And I am streaming for ten hours and I start at like, 11 AM and when I'm done there's no sunlight out? I feel like it was messing with my circadian rhythm and my head."

She added that having natural sunlight was also one of the reasons she started looking for a new apartment:

"I think having natural sunlight is really important. So, I just happened to look at new apartments, even though I was thinking of staying. And I found one that checked all the boxes."

The second complaint Pokimane had was that the balcony in her previous home faced the street, and the noise was too loud for her to relax on it. This isn't the case with her new apartment. She explained:

"I think it matters a lot if you can step out. Get some air, get some sun and not have a ton of noise blairing at you. My balcony is like my relaxation, touch grass but really it's just air spot. And the last apartment I was at wasn't that."

She continued to praise her new home, saying:

"I think this place was just made for me. I love just about everything about this place."
