Reminds me of my first apartment as an undergraduate so many many years ago.
I referred to it as my Raskolnikov Room.  It had room for a bed, a folding
chair and a desk, nothing else.  No kitchen, community bathroom down the
hall.  My second apartment was luxurious by comparison.  Its address was 1
City Alley, it had a kitchen, bedroom and toilet, the bathtub was in the
kitchen and the kitchen looked out over the railroad tracks.

Those were the days?
