    I thought that this must be somewhere in London, but it turns out it’s in the outskirts of Bristol. Who would pay for this?

    I don’t see any curtains/blinds or curtain rod/rail, did they forget that people need privacy when they were converting their garage into an overpriced studio flat?

    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? ;)

        Having a bed in that tiny place is a bad choice to begin with, it should be a futon

        I don’t trust their math. Based on the photos and floor plan, I doubt that it’s more than 300 sqft.

    To be fair, they seem to have tied-in the lower brickwork, so when you slam the door the whole front wall shouldn’t fall out.

    But, maybe there’s loft space in that garage studio apartment that they could sub-let and recoup some costs

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

      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…

      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.

    It’s pretty well located, right next to the university. I can see this going very quickly

    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.

    Offered with all bills included set at an extra £295.00 (£1,095.00 in total) on an part-furnished basis. The studio will be supplied with a single bed/mattress, fridge and washing machine.

    Am I reading this wrong or are they saying you have to pay extra for bills included?
