"Thanks for the feedback, Merilyn! You’re absolutely right-subtitles would make it so much easier for non-French speakers to follow along. Unfortunately, KZbin doesn't have an automatic translation feature yet, so it's up to us creators to add them, which is quite a time-consuming task. My French is a work in progress, but I'll definitely try to start adding subtitles in future videos to make things more accessible. Thanks for your patience and support!"

That studio bathroom is wayyyy too small, especially if you're planning to rent it out in the near future... Whyyyyy would you need a yoga room, do the yoga outside near the pool when the weather is beautiful...That way you can extend the by studio apartment bathroom. That's wayyyy more important, especially if you're going to rent it out for visitors. Beside a nice bathroom bring more value to a house than a yoga room.
