Wrap-up 02 : 06 When a young person starts college or moves to a new city for his or her rst job, it is common for him or her to rent an apartment rather than buy a house. For those who can’t a ord large apartments, there are certain kinds of smaller apartments that are cheaper to rent. ese small apartments may be called e ciency apartments, studio apartments, or lo s. An e ciency is usually an apartment that has only one room. The person living in such an apartment sleeps, cooks, and eats in the living room! For this reason, most people who move into efficiency apartments buy couches that can turn into beds. at way, during the day they can sit on the couch to read or watch TV. Then at night, he or she will turn the couch into a bed and sleep on it. By comparison, a studio apartment is usually larger than an e ciency. However, a studio apartment is still an apartment with only a single living space. In addition to being larger, a studio may also have a be er kitchen than a cheaper efficiency apartment. For example, where an e ciency might have only a small refrigerator with a sink and a small cooking range next to it, a studio could include a stove under the cooking range. A loft can provide renters with the largest living space of these three types of apartments. Originally, lofts were empty floors above old warehouses that people changed into living spaces. Artists liked living in these kinds of places because the spaces were cheap and there was plenty of room to be creative in such a living space. Even in a very large lo , there are no walls dividing up the living space. The only walls inside a lo are usually found around the bathroom.
