I Moved into a Micro-Studio. My Tiny-ist Home.

[@jamiekin]

The door slider is for conserving the AC. If you're sleeping in the bedroom with the Air Conditioning on all night, you don't want to cool the entire apartment. Just use the slider to close off the bedroom to the rest of the apartment and keep the cool air only in the bedroom.

[@wilburbonzo]

The place is okay but the traffic noise would drive me crazy

[@nomadhomad3685]

Cozy place but the location would drive me crazy if this was more than my winter home base.

This little studio is cool JohnnyFD! The side trip to Changmai is going to be super! Totally understand living on the go is painful. Having a place to dump your stuff makes it worthwhile. Looking forward to your next adventure! Your scooter full of your gear would look perfectly normal in Thailand! In fact, you could do delivery jobs to pay for your stay!

Johnny, You're a big boy, it ain't the luggage dragging that bike down!

[@cmcdougall808]

For an extended stay in any country as a tourist, I think having a "base" is a good idea. I'm considering doing this in Japan as I can get a place that cost less than 90 days in a hotel, and taking the Shinkansen all around the country to explore it as a leisurely pace.

[@parasitius]

It's an incredible amount of money to be wasting just because you're too lazy to put your suitcase in a storage locker when you go do side trips? Let's say you're only spending $50/night on it. Instead using the $50 each night to upgrade your supper would be the difference of eating at a family restaurant VS a top tier restaurant in the city.

[@JohnnyFD]

The room is actually only $11 a night, but you're right, the storage locker would still be cheaper.

[@beverlypatout4326]

That condo is small but manageable for a short term stay. I wouldn’t want to live there full time though…

You know it is going to be good when having a washing machine is luxury.

[@JohnnyFD]

You'll be surprised how many condos in the world don't have in unit washing machines...

[@christinawrobel4869]

It's manageable for two months and to have as a home base. You travel so much anyway as well as eat out or order food in so kitchen is enough. Gym, pool, washing machine and parking are definitely good features. Is this close to restaurants, stores or beach access? Doesn't seem to be close to those things which I would want.

[@annaledoux7441]

Johnny, I got to thinking about products I have seen 'window privacy film' - there may be temporary film to place on the sliding window panels between the bedroom and living room. If you wanted to use the sliding panels for dividing the living room from the bedroom when guests come to visit. You asked for suggestions. I like the place, it is small, and if you are only there to sleep and have snacks it could work out. Near everything too. Good monthly price too. 🌊Anna

[@JohnnyFD]

Hi Anna, a frosted film would be good, although I wonder if it'll make the room look smaller not having the view out the window.

I wouldn't mind living in a tiny apartment if the price was right.

[@lecrab]

I would never live in that one. No eating in common areas (am I in school again??), shitty wifi in that room downstairs, terrible view, 80's microwave (yellow staining included!) and generally small. I could live in a space that size, but I would need some adjustments. How much does a similar place in one of the buildings closer to the sea go for?

[@WhereInTheWorldIsToni]

@@trinewestbyejrgensen4838 agreed! People think because they are a public figure they can make rude comments to them. Johnny is a friend of mine and I know that he takes very good care of himself. We all have times where we may struggle with the stressors of life and our health may take a backseat, but it’s how you bounce back that matters. As someone who has struggled with my weight most of my life I can tell you that those kinds of comments are not helpful even if meant well. They only serve to make a person feel bad about themselves which just adds to whatever is going on in life. I know Johnny has enough confidence to see past it, but I still think people should understand that we need to talk kindly to each other.

[@2000konnie]

That would be fine for me for a couple of months. It would bother me to not have a little storage area though. The worst part would be not having good internet in the common area. Anyway, I think it's great to have the place (home base) there for you to go off and travel for two weeks and come back to. I would do the same with that price.

It would be nice to have good wifi in the common areas, but at least cafes are nearby. =)

Pay the high season rate until low season kicks in - THEN lock in a yearly rate based on low season pricing. Surprised they charge for parking - I kinda don’t think that’s the norm - thought that was more of a Philippines thing.
