My parents have recently divorced and I chose to stay with dad. Our family home was quite big, with a yard, patio,… now my dad rents a studio - we have living room, kitchen, bedroom (1 room) + bathroom + balcony. I actually really love it, it’s very cozy, intimate, nicer location, easier to clean, less clutter…
Yeah I always found small places cozy and makes you feel more connected with the person you live.
