Could you live in an Apartment that is only 15sq meters (1151sq feet) ? I think alone I could, with my wife. There is no chance, unless we aren't at home a lot together.

You would probably spill water all over the washing machine with that small sink. Not really suitable for anything, except washing hands. If you want to wash your face with cleaning product you'll have a mess to clean afterwords. It looks nice before you actually live there. It's more suitable to be rented per night like a hotel. For everyday living it would be difficult to live there.

Yes, so-called "studios" in new buildings can no longer be less than 28 square meters. The housing inspectorate should monitor all changes made by the owners to the redevelopment of the apartment, but in practice the owners may not allow the inspection into the apartment! Therefore, in real life, almost no one will forbid making 10 apartments with an area of 6 square meters out of a three-room apartment with an area of 60 square meters! In this case, there is a serious violation of fire safety, three doors should not be in this way! If the fire inspector sees this video, the owner will have serious problems!

My place is a “back house” on the property of my friend of 30+ years, which makes it ideal as we can look out for each other and enjoy each other’s company (when we choose lol!)

В прихожей не только шкаф для одежды, но и место для хранения куда можно убрать пылесос, швабру с ведром и т.д). Все вместе метров 37-40. На этаже 4 квартиры с общим холлом. Такое жилье для одного человека считаю самым подходящим. Для студента также важна близость метро, для пожилого недорогие магазины и аптеки в шаговой доступности.😊

Главное, чтобы соседи тихие были, не бухари, не меломаны, не глухие киноманы и не любители громкого секса. А то обычно у таких квартир тонкие стены, слышно кашель, громкое чихание и т.д. Воспитанные и доброжелательные соседи это находка в наши дни. А то пока со всеми не переругаешься, невозможно установить приемлемое проживание. Я сам живу в студии с тонкими стенами. На одних съемщиков наорал сквозь стену, когда музыку врубили в 00:45 и они тихо съехали. С новыми въехавшими тоже поговорить пришлось и с соседями с другой стены тоже договорились. Я так не люблю конфликтов, но приходилось рамсить. А так, хороших нешумных соседей обнимал бы каждое утро вместе с приветствием и ходил бы к ним взаимно на чай. Почему-то люди перестали ценить добрососедство.

You would never see this in the US. The apartments looked pretty nice, but I don't think I could live in such a tiny place. It looks more like a hotel room. But if the price was right, I might make it work with the help of a Murphy bed. I prefer to have my sleeping area separate from the rest of the apartment. I guess if was cheap enough, I could still afford a dacha in a village and have that to stretch my legs. So, what is the price for these apartments?

They look like hotel rooms. There's absolutely no storage space, even for basic things like many clothes, bed linen, towels, books, suitcases, etc, so it's convenient only for someone who wants to stay there for a short time, not for someone who wants to live there for years. Two improvements the owner could make to free up space (I've lived for years in 12-18 sq meters, so I know what I'm talking about) : 1) The bed takes up too much space. The bed mattress could be put on a loft so the space under the bed would be freed. 2) The fridge is too big for 1 person, he could have installed a much smaller fridge (around the size of the cupboards under the sink) and free the entire space above the fridge in order to place the microwave oven and above it have one more cupboard next to the others.

The first one was good, I think it is very clever how they have put the washing machine underneath the bathroom sink.

20m² apartments are common in Europe. They're often called a garconniere (bachelor's pad), although that word might have a certain different meaning in some countries 😂 It's an apartment for singles, not couples. I've never heard of one as small as 15m² though. Mostly people buy them with intention to rent them out. No one plans on being single forever. If your parents are rich, you might get one when you move out, but regular people don't bother buying them. They're too much money for such a small space.

Я достраиваю свой двухэтажный дом близ Новосибирска , там рядом есть мирового уровня зимний курорт Шерегеш и много курортных зон. Там есть мои родственники и я там иногда бываю). Еще хочу купить квартиру близ Урала в крупном городе и там тоже много зон отдыха, месяц два там пожить неплохо . А так в основном я живу около Москвы, чтобы быстро можно было приехать в Москву.

I've seen 9 sq meter apartments in Paris for sale. The first apartment I rented in Athens was 26 sq meters and it was adorable. For a single person in a European city, small apartments are preferred. I settled for 39 sq meters and I love it 😻

Loved this video Russel! Thanks!! There is no way I can live in such a small place but that’s just me. I’m absolutely amazed at the washing machine/sink combo! I will have to look up on the internet how that works! Thanks to Yuri for letting us see them!

Usually there are all kinds of folding sofas (on the cheaper side) or beds lifting into wall/furniture like rush hour seats in the subway (more expensive).
