Efficiency apartment vs bachelor flat: which one is right for you?

Cheap studios and efficiency apartments normally have the kitchen in the main room, which is a major discouraging factor for renters… But don’t let this scare you away: there are always some exceptions that prove the rule, and it’s worth locating them in South Coast Metro, Costa Mesa, CA too. Some newer apartment buildings have very spacious floor-plans with layouts that allow you to divide the sleeping and living space for more privacy and comfort. A few design tricks, like a well-placed mirror, a bookshelf divider and functional space-saving furniture can make all the difference.

It all comes down to finding a studio apartment that fits your lifestyle and your personal preferences.
