    1. There's not much space to lose things.

    Literally no space to lose things, because you have to use the spaces where you would usually lose things to store things out of the way on purpose.

    2. You probably have breakfast in bed every morning.

    3. It's practically impossible for a proper clean to take more than an hour or two.

    Unless you're pausing to nibble from your conveniently located fridge every five minutes, ofc.

    4. And tidying the bedroom means that the kitchen and lounge are automatically done too.

    5. You're under no obligations to have company.

    You can practically reach the fridge door from your bed, and the telly switch is probably close enough that you don't even need a remote.

    7. When you bake, your sheets end up smelling like cookies!

    8. It's naturally intimate and cosy.

    9. And great for Netflix binges.

    10. You'll learn to ditch your pack-rat habits.

    You'll probably have to pare down your belongings to fit your life into a studio, but that just means you're hip to a minimalist lifestyle.

    11. You save so much money on heating and cooling in a small place.

    12. One spritz of air freshener will actually freshen your whole space.

    And plug-in air fresheners actually last as long as the label says they will.

    13. You can pretty easily determine the source of creepy night noises.

    Disney

    It's hard not to notice a stranger in the house when the house is ONE ROOM, so you can be pretty sure that unidentified noises are just the gurgling shower drain.

    14. And if you did have an intruder, there would literally be nowhere for them to hide.

    15. Furnishing a studio is easy...

    16. And cheap.

    You can fit max five pieces of furniture in there, so you can't really overdo it.

    17. Pretty much anywhere you stay on holiday will feel like the lap of luxury.

    Your main requirement for an Airbnb is just like, 10% more square footage than your place.

    18. You actually go out and explore.

    19. And you don't have to share your space with ANYONE.
