In mid April I will move to a 200sq ft apartment. Very small. I am a bit anxious if my plans work out. Up until now I had about 3.5x that space for me alone. The apartment ist directly at the central station of the city which allows me to get to work super fast and the central station is not too far away from the inner city... walking distance. Let's see how this goes.

Heads up, the difference between 200ft and 300ft is huge. I'm all for small living in the middle of cities, but I think 200 would be too small for me. Wish you the best of luck of course, but I think going for 300ft would be good for next time :)
For the imperially challenged that's 20 and 28 square meters respectively.

And yeah 20-ish is really small.

Thank you!

I moved to Norway a few years ago. Getting a grasp on housing sizes has been a challenge so far.

Square feet vs square meters is pretty easy because (1 meter / 1 feet)^2 is conveniently close to 10.
I lived in a space of around 300 square feet for years quite comfortably. The only persistent annoyance was doing laundry. Though, the key part of it was to never let any clutter build up, and I am one of those people who can get by without much "stuff".
I'd feel like I existed solely for that job.
