@@wilmaknickersfit I don't think the owner of this home can afford it either -he needs to rent it part time to pay the bills. Solutions, not excuses -I like it! I have the money and will not live in a home that puts the bathroom a flight of stairs away from my bed. In another post under this video I pointed out that by volume, the bathroom in this house is large and any rational person would use that upper volume for an up stairs bathroom. But that would be far less impressive in photos and video. The bath in this home is a work of art and it does make sense to just have one bath to clean in a rental. I most envy how easy this home is to clean. I hope I didn't come across as snobbish talking about the cost. There are just sooooo many comments saying "I could see myself living there". I can't help wondering, is it because it's a $7000/mo lifestyle upgrade?

First time that i see a small space/house that actually feels good to live in. Most small spaces/houses that i see either have no provisions for the laundry, the bathroom feels awkward, the living room feels too small and the kitchen is lacking. But this however, the bedroom feels comfortable to sleep in and the study feels good to do things at, the kitchen with the courtyard feels very homey and still looks good, the bathroom looks good as well and actually has natural lighting (i think), and the laundry being inside is quite perfect especially during rainy seasons, the living room is very aesthetically pleasing and doesn't feel too crowded.

A very interesting and quite good revamp of the original layout, I enjoyed viewing it. I really do think it’s designed for short term living so the architect met the owner’s requirements. You would need to add more storage to live in it full time, which looks doable, but again that wasn’t the stated goal. I do love the Courtyard doors, as well as the new staircase. I’d like to see some artwork on the wall, the esthetic is too minimalist for my taste, but I don’t live there.
