I never thought one could live in a place this small and actually enjoy it. Now I do. Simon and Anna have convinced me that with smart, efficient design a small place can be accommodating and comfortable.
Their tiny apartment is impeccably clean and is furnished so that it has everything one might need without feeling crammed or claustrophobic. The couch, chairs, table and everything else in the apartment feels solid and looks beautiful. Nothing is wobbly or shabby or on its last breath. Nothing is late-ikea-falling-apart-cheap-junk. There is plenty of light, a nice view into a small and quiet court yard. The bed is super comfortable and the kitchen is efficiently equipped. If there was a gas stove, I’d be preparing more elaborate dishes, but hey, we had decent, simple meals even with the electric stove top.
Once you step outside, all sights are within an easy and pleasant walk. Restaurants and pubs abound and we’ve shopped for food at a supermarket, a health-food store and an ethnic market all within a 6 minute walk from the flat.
I would gladly come back to this apartment and will sure recommend this place to my friends. I also think that interior designers and compact living space enthusiasts should come and look at this place to admire the host’s taste and sense of proportion.
