    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. If you curious about these apartment a little more, you can contact Yuri though his social links: Telegram youtube.com/@investremont or his website: investremont.com/

      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.

      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.

В кухне помещается все необходимое -плита с вытяжкой, холодильник с большой морозилкой, микроволновка, стол и даже небольшой диванчик, в санузле обязательно стиральная машина. 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.😊

    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.

    Russell, one thing I can say I really admire about Russia is how they are very family friendly. Just look at the room specifically set aside for mothers' baby carriages. 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?

    This is by far the nicest apartment building I have seen in all of your videos (the others have been horrendously awful), and I think it's also the first one I've seen that has an elevator. This one has a great lobby area, very nice hallway floors, hallway walls in perfect repair and nicely painted and very nice apartment doors. Inside these look very much like smaller studio apartments in any large American city and everything in these apartments from the fixtures and appliances to the furniture looks brand new - accentuated by the fact that there is no bedding on the beds and nothing in the kitchen cabinets or on the shelves, and the bathrooms and showers look like they've never been used. They are SO different from your other videos I'm having a hard time believing anything about this building is "typical."
