When living in a city apartment, what is the point of a studio apartment?

JA+JH: When living in a city apartment, what is the point of a studio apartment?
I mean im new to this, i’ve never heard of this kind of apartment b4. I’ve heard of Lofts and i actually think there cool looking. But if you live in a studio, then your bedroom is in the middle of the living room, kitchen, and its right next to the front door. Can you ever have people over? Do you live in one and what do you think of it?

If you can’t afford to have more walls, I guess that’s what you settle for. I’ve never had a studio apt, but if I did, I’d either get a futon instead of a bed (and use it for a bed and a couch), or try and find some tasteful screens or curtains to hang.

Rent in most big cities can be really expensive. If you’re single, then a studio is the cheapest way to live.

Yes, it’s uncomfortable, but that’s the price to pay for the luxury of living in the city.

I live in Toronto, and rents are sky-high in the downtown area. I live in a small one-bedroom. It’s really small (not a studio though), but I wouldn’t give up the size if it meant giving up my location. I love my neighborhood, and if I had to choose a studio to be able to live here I would.
