Apartment #1

Pictures are worth a thousand words, so I decided to add a couple of pictures so you can see what we are looking at. This particular apartment was roughly 400 square feet, which must include the duct work, pipes and drains.

Here is the "kitchen", the small appliance you see on the left side is a tiny portable induction burner- hey they already fulfilled criteria #1: kitchen must have cooking capabilities. You can see the refrigerator in the corner is about 1/2 the width and 3/4 the height of refrigerators you would find in the US.
The realitor lost us when she said, "this kitchen would be perfect for a couple and is excellent for lite cooking". By light cooking, I think she meant cereal....if you can find a place to store it.

This next photo showcases the spacious restroom. Hey at least there is a toilet with a toilet seat.The part you don't see is towards the left, which is basically a shower head attached to the wall...and the best part is that the toilet doubles as a shower bench.

This photo also shows the spacious hall, which is pretty much the majority of the apartment. Behind the restroom is where you will find the "kitchen".

I love that the realitor described this as the master bedroom. I would have taken pictures from other angles, but there simply weren't any. That small waist height rack in the bottom right of the room is where we can store all of our clothes.

Oh, I forgot to mention that the apartment does have a laundry room as shown in this picture. This may look familiar, but look you can see the washing machine under the counter.


Well I guess we may just need to use the space wisely like this architect in Hong Kong: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lg9qnWg9kak&feature=player_embedded

  1. Hi Lindsay - Thanks for the pictures, I'm so glad you started a blog. My favorite is the toilet in the shower - what? Good for multi-tasking...that could really save you about 60 seconds a day. Good luck with the hunting. -Jen
