    I tried to find out why kitchen tubs and showers might be a thing (back when some were first posted here) and read an article about how ages ago in new york, landlords were required by law to provide baths for tenants. So they just stuck them where there was already a water hookup. So, in old apartments in New York, you’ll occasionally run into a kitchen tub.

    So far that new knowledge has been completely irrelevant to the kitchen/bath situations posted here, but maybe someday it will be useful that I know that now and I won’t be left assuming a fetish situation.

    Idk man, dishwasher, hotplate, a shower, and your own space for 400ish dollars a month? Seems kind of worth it. My first apartment was 750 a month.

      You don’t know the location. If you’re spending another 400 monthly and 2-3 hours daily on commuting, this might be not that great a deal.

    That looks like a place that never had water running to it, and they retrofitted a small apartment and ran all the water and sewage into the most convenient corner. Honestly, I’m more confused about where the toilet is …

    Reminds me of where someone I knew was living with her ex when we met… there was a shower in the carpeted kitchen/living room.
