is 46 square meters small for an apartment?

eta: it's TINY. say that's about 150 square feet, TOTAL. so that's 50 square feet a room, if the kitchen's a separate room. that's 5x10--the size of those u-haul trailers that you drag behind your car or truck. of course it could be instead, say, 8x8. maybe the kitchen is just one corner of one of the other rooms.

that seems rather high rent for such a little space. (418.80 euros a month?)

Oh, it takes some getting used to, the whole tiny European apartments thing. Everyone used to come over to my old 70sm apartment and go: "wow, this is fucking huge." And I'd be all like: WTF are you on? My old place in Australia had more cupboard space than this. But eventually you forget all about it until you have to fit your parents in for a week. Then you discover just how tiny it is all over again.

When I was living with my boyfriend, we had 65m2 and we thought it was ginormous. 46 might be a bit cramped or it might not, depending on how it's structured. With enough storage space it could be great.

My studio was 36m2, I think, and that was pretty sizeable for one person. (Plus it had lots of dead space because the building was a converted townhouse that had at one point been used as a grocery store, and my apartment was sort of leftover space.)

Oh yeah, the way it's structured is so important. Although we had 70m2, there was so much dead space that it never really felt that big. It could have easily had an extra room if it had been better designed. What are you doing in Finland, by the way?

What, me or Cim? I'm in Finland because I never left. Cim is coming... because I won't leave, I guess. ;) Actually because it's easier for her to get here than for me to get there.

I really have to start paying attention to who I'm replying to...
