        Probably has zero insulation and needs the heat on constantly. I also doubt that it has separate water metering so they’re likely paying the landlord’s bills too.

    I mean, with a little love that could be quite a nice little courtyard, but damn, not for ~US$1k/mo.

      I thought the bed was a bit close to the stove, but I guess there’s not much arrangement you can do with less than 400sqft

        Stove? Nah, just buy yourself a decent Weber kettle grill and do your cooking outside. It’s not like it rains much in England, right? ;)

    I paid more that that for a bit smaller apartment in Tokyo that had no bills included. That’s not even in the pricier parts of Tokyo. Only difference was a sliding door between the beedroom and the rest and bath position. I did have a small veranda for drying clothes (and, in my case, growing some pepper plants).

      To be clear, this one isn’t in London or one of the other big cities; it’s in the suburbs of Bristol, a smaller city.

      I was under the impression that property prices in Tokyo were pretty insane. This is more like the equivalent of a garden shed in Fukuyama.

    Honestly not that bad, coming from someone living in San Diego. I’ve seen worse that is more expensive.

      I would have dealt with it when fresh out of flight school, though at upwards of $1000 a month plus utilities I’d have laughed in your face so hard you’d need to clean your glasses.

      Same in Vancouver. I’d actually consider that if it was close to my school. Better then living in someones mouldy DIY renovated basement “suite” that you share with four other people. *…and usually pay ~$800 a month for…
