    Yes, it is tiny. But the loft makes a good bedroom. It has laundry, private, bathroom, and a big window. That's more than I've seen in some other places.

    as someone who lived in a students dorm in germany for about 7 years i could totally see myself living in a tiny apartment like that as long as i can fit my 6'6'' self on a matress to sleep somewhere. i love having everything in arms reach.

    This is honestly a fantastic design. This is very affordable. I live in an apartment that is quite large in the middle of no where for $700 a month. I wish it were smaller. I like the idea of everything being compact. I'm a gamer so I would have a small desk set up down on the ground floor.

    There you have it! It is in SHINJUKU! That is not luxury. In Tokyo, the district where you live might show luxury for convenience to/from work. The facilities in that flat are outdated and except for the WC that is heated, nothing in that room shows luxury. Actually, owners need to be held accountable for building and being allowed to rent spaces less than 20square meters.

    • @nealwhite1434
      @nealwhite1434 Před rokem +2

      Yeah, ridiculous to call this Luxury In the title. They just found the most overpriced tiny apartment In the most expensive part of Tokyo and labeled it luxury. My favorite part was one of the guys acting like 30 min one way is a long time on a subway/train lol.

    @SuzetteKath Před 11 měsíci +1

    There is also other factors to consider where the various apartments are. Employers will look to see what area you are living in if you apply for jobs. Best to not want to be caught living in what the Japanese culture considers to be the 'Burakumin' areas. Harder to get jobs living in such areas.

  • @patriclo9509
    @patriclo9509 Před 11 měsíci

    I had a 35 m² apartment 45 minutes west of Shinjuku. I was paying ¥51,000 a month. That included a parking space. I had a nice little patio. It was about a kilometer from the train station. In Japan, prices drop the further you get away from the train station.

  • @DesignTechie
    @DesignTechie Před 11 měsíci

    I wouldn't, not because it's small but because of the bedroom loft. I get up a lot at night, I'd probably off myself trying to go up and down those stairs in the middle of the night while half asleep. I also wouldnt be able to set up the loft as a workspace because of the same reason.

    @raven_bard Před 11 měsíci

    Absolutely not, especially since I work from home. Not having a separation of space - kitchen, living room/bedroom - would drive me round the bend. I think these flats are only good if you're really on a shoestring budget and want to be in the city center or if you're hardly ever home.
