“The kitchen is tiny, so only a couple of people can fit at the table. There’s really no other shared or living area in the apartment. You end up being stuck in your room most of the time.”

“Every time I shower, the bathroom floor ends up soaked because the slope of the floor sends all the water toward the toilet area. I know it’s basically a wet room, but it still floods around my toilet and I have to sweep it up every single time. I’m looking for something I can put there to stop that from happening.”

“The place could definitely be a bit better for what we’re paying. I ran into a few problems as soon as I got there that I had to sort out, and even now I’m still dealing with small annoyances.”

“The social space and kitchen are too small for me to really hang out with my flatmates.”

“I think it would be great to have a proper living room with a TV and some couches. Because my flatmates and I are really close, we usually end up hanging out in someone’s bedroom, but it just feels too cramped.”

“If I could tweak anything about the living space, it wouldn't really be a major change, but I’d definitely add a longer mirror somewhere in the rooms. We already have one in the bathroom, but it’s pretty small and kind of short. I think it would be great to put a full-length mirror in the room near one of the closets, right by the door opening. That would make a big difference.”

“We made the kitchen a little bigger.”

“I could really use more room on the fridge shelves.”

“The walls are thicker, thank goodness, because I really don't want to hear my neighbours arguing or getting intimate.”

“It’s nice to have a real common space, not just a kitchen.”
