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.
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 ...
I lived somewhere with carpet in the bathroom and kitchen. Seems horrible to me as itās so much difficult to clean. The bathroom was annoying because we had one roommate who would literally shower 6 times a day and somehow get the carpet soaking wetā¦ would have been a lot easier to dry off tile.
I paid a room like this one when I was a student, but with shared toilets with 3 others, and it was 475ā¬ near La Motte Piquet. Also, it was 18 years ago.
