Are my standards through the floor if I find that it looks half-ok?

SomeoneElse@lemmy.ca · 26 pts · 3y

Mine must be too because I didn’t think it was that bad either. It beats a flat share and you could make it look a lot nicer with not too much money.

It does look a bit shabby. But if it's up to code, insulated properly and has a bathroom I'd take it. I've seen worse "traditional" 1 room apartments for more money than that.

All of the Americans of Lemmy are in the comments saying they live in something way worse for way more money 🤷

as long as there's a separate bathroom and not just a big bucket in the driveway......

It's better than the street? Yes It's 550€/month good? Nope. For 250 I could see it maybe.... Of course it depens on location.

There are apartments in New York that look far worse.

Astroturfed@lemmy.world · 27 pts · 3y

For way more money lol

The problem is probably insulation tho. If its not in southern europe then have fun freezing to death in there during winter.

JJROKCZ@lemmy.world · 9 pts · 3y

I’ve seen a lot worse for a lot more in St. Louis, this really is decent. Insulation probably sucks though

I get that, I'm trying to say it doesn't look terrible. I've seen far worse places. At least they painted and put in a nice floor and such.

SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world · 10 pts · 3y

Especially since the price is in Euros.

I've lived in a garage and it wasnt as beautifully appointed as this one. This is perfectly fine by comparison and not bad value

Well appointed by comparison with the garage I lived in many years back! Certainly not by comparison with what I live in now, or what should be minimum standards

Depends where you're from, in France, where this ads come from, this is clearly bad value

Sylvartas@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 3y

Depends. Sounds like pretty good value for Paris, unfortunately.

Jimmycakes@lemmy.world · 4 pts · 3y

It's old for sure

How much is that in freedom units?
