AND it leaves little black specks on cereal bowls. <br />The comparison between the real dishwasher you ultimately get and the Platonic ideal dishwasher of your dreams will be jarring for you. dave.s.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7146512.post-56503084266193047292009-06-15T15:42:35.281-04:002009-06-15T15:42:35.281-04:00The bathroom isn't big in a 10-people-can-brus...The bathroom isn't big in a 10-people-can-brush-their-teeth-at-once sort of way, but in a let's-store-the-towels-here-and-not-in-a-closet one. As in, it's neither good nor bad. But <i>everything</i> must be presented as a selling point. Including the exposed brick, which has a way of shedding thick dust over everything, but which looks sort of quaint.Phoebe Maltz Bovyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17996039330841139883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7146512.post-27427711148227251672009-06-15T14:29:04.922-04:002009-06-15T14:29:04.922-04:00I'm sure that's true.

(My current bathroom certainly can be occupied by two people only with great inconvenience), though the particular one I had that was so much wasted space was mostly long- a sort of long hallway leading to tub, toilet, and sink, all crowded down on one end, so even the large total square footage wasn't much use. It was the result of a less-than-ideal cutting up of a house into apartments.Matthttp://www.ssrn.com/author=410582noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7146512.post-60178207995245621272009-06-15T10:03:20.595-04:002009-06-15T10:03:20.595-04:00A big bathroom is an upside when the apartment is ...A big bathroom is an upside when the apartment is shared, though.PGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09381347581328622706noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7146512.post-50117390312886613442009-06-14T21:37:54.406-04:002009-06-14T21:37:54.406-04:00yes, the bathroom is huge in proportion to the res...<i>yes, the bathroom is huge in proportion to the rest of the apartment, but I've never figured out whether that's supposed to be a selling point.</i><br /><br />I had a studio for a while with a very big bathroom. The bigness was mostly long-ness, but it was big. I always wished there was a way to transfer some of the space into my tiny kitchen, or at least make use of the space, but no, a big bathroom, while nice, is only of limited use and often seem mocking in an otherwise small apartment.Matthttp://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/cf_dev/AbsByAuth.cfm?per_id=410582noreply@blogger.com
