I used to live in this apartment complex. One thing that drove me nuts is that the bathroom (with a full-sized bathtub) took up half the apartment -- so you had even less space for your bed. (I could only comfortably fit a twin.) The apartment shown in the article appears to have a shower instead of a bathtub, which hopefully gives you more room for a bed. In hindsight, I wished this apartment had a conventional oven instead of a dishwasher; feeding myself I only owned two plates, two bowls, two cups, and some cutlery (which can easily be hand-washed in the sink, especially in a drought). When these SF micro-apartments were approved, local press suggested they'd rent for $800-$1000/month (based on 1br rental rates at the time) -- the entire market (including these apartments) is now 3x-4x that.
