What did you have in mind then?
I'm not a fan of the curtains, but a room divider or bookshelf or entertainment unit could provide you with that separation you want.

Yeah, if that's the case you need that privacy of a real bedroom.
I could get away with a studio if I had too, but if you will have multiple people all crashing there and you want your privacy with women, nothing will beat an actual room with walls
How often are your buddies realistically going to be staying over?Yeah I'm moving to Santa Monica and 1 bedrooms start at 1650ish whereas nice studios are 11-12.
Most my boys live in OC which is about 45 mins w/o traffic so they will be crashing. Presame, bars and then girls back to crib wouldn't work with a studio.
Take this into strong consideration. You're paying an extra 6k a year so that other people can freeload. I know they are your "boys" but I'm sure they'll manage if they had tp stay over.How often are your buddies realistically going to be staying over?
I ask because you could do a lot with that extra ~$500/month and it's not like they'll be crashing every night.
I cannot stand this. The main reason why I won't go to a water park. So gross.Took me 28 years (age when I bought my first house) and a brand new tub to take a shower without a mat.
I gotta a weird disorder or something. Hate water on my feet but knowing it was new and only mine to shower in made it easier.
Till this day, I get grossed out when people walk in puddles of pool water. Barf

My boys can deal with it if I'm smashing only problem for me is that I have entirely too much stuff for most studios now.

Best advice I received regarding getting a place is to not account for visitors when deciding on a spot. You are paying that premium even when they aren't there, and its not like they are helping you pay it.
A 1 bed apartment is huge step up from a studio. it depends on included amenities, like a lot of these studios I've seen see don't really have kitchens, small bathroom sink & 2 ft of counter space, no space for a stove... it's ridiculous, maybe even have to use a mini fridge? that's gotta be difficult if you store meat, fruit, drinks, frozen food etc. there's also street parking vs. private parking which is a pretty big deal in West LA.
I think it will depend on the person & the features they need from an apartment/studio.
You know how expensive LA is bro lol. Studio seems to small but I just have to figure it out.
I like the MCM style, but I'm not a fan of how puny the arms look on that specific couch. I can't really put my finger on it beyond that, but it just doesn't look right to me.
If your having guests over 2-3 weekends, get the 1 bed, then ask each guest to pay $20 to sleep over. mitigates the cost and it's fair.
smh... people like this exist?Do y'all seriously ask your good friends to pay money whenever they crash at your place because they're too drunk to drive home?
I can just imagine what that sounds like when y'all get out the cab at your place
