Is a 500sq foot apartment big enough for 1 person?
I'm moving to Mumbai for 6 months at the end of the year. I'm looking at affordable 1 Bedroom apartments no more than 19000 rupies per month. There seem to be a lot of 500 sq feet apartments in this price range. How big is this? Is it big enough for just one person?
Also, if anyone has advice on a good way to find an apartment there, in or around Lokhandwala in Andheri please get in touch.

500sqft is quite big when you think about it. A 12x12 bedroom is 144sq ft. So you could have 3 of those sized rooms + a bathroom in that apt. My wife and I lived in a 700sqft apartment for 2 years before we bought our first house :)
A smaller apt means you don't need to spend money furnishing it, and it also means you won't have a lot of room to buy stuff you don't really need :)

That is totally livable for one person, but I guess it really depends on if it has a bedroom or if the bedroom is part of the main living area.
My first apartment in college had a bathroom, bedroom, full kitchen, dining room, living room area and it was 690 sq ft. It was definitely big enough.
