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…
There is an optimum size, and going above it is almost as bad as going bellow. (But larger homes don’t get bad as quickly as smaller.)
