What is a Studio Apartment?

By , About.com Guide

Definition:

The most basic and frugal apartment rental option is a studio, which combines bedroom, dining area and living room into a single small space. The typical studio apartment has a separate bathroom and a kitchenette, which may consist of a counter, stove, sink and refrigerator set-up against one wall of the main living space, or a small honest-to-goodness kitchen.

Variations on the studio theme include conversions or junior one-bedroom units.
