Heads up, the difference between 200ft and 300ft is huge. I'm all for small living in the middle of cities, but I think 200 would be too small for me. Wish you the best of luck of course, but I think going for 300ft would be good for next time :)

For the imperially challenged that's 20 and 28 square meters respectively.

And yeah 20-ish is really small.

Thank you!

I moved to Norway a few years ago. Getting a grasp on housing sizes has been a challenge so far.

Square feet vs square meters is pretty easy because (1 meter / 1 feet)^2 is conveniently close to 10.
