If you look at the floorplan[0] shown in the article, it looks like any sane person who lived in the flat would treat it like a normal studio and put their bed

  I think it's simply that they are trying to market this as a 1 bedroom flat rather than a studio. It looks that the building was subdivided into several flats. But, from the floor plan, the layout of the flat is impractical with 2 large-ish rooms. It would probably have been too wasteful to have studios with massive bathrooms, so they pass them off as one bedrooms. Ideally it would have been en-suite bathrooms but they probably did not have the space (or did not want to spend more...)

  Well, in another EU country (Italy) that flat would be against building rules and Laws, not only you cannot call a bathroom "sleeping area"[1] but usually (there are exceptions for historical buldings and handicap toilets) a toilet (where the wc is) cannot be connected directly to a kitchen or more generally where meals are prepared, but long before that the very minimal surface for a flat is 28 sqm (the one in the article is around 26) to be an autonomous unit. Additionally, from the photo it appears that the WC is connected to an electric sanitary macerator, which is not admissible unless it is for a secondary bathroom. [1] the area of any room aimed to the permanence of people cannot be less than 9 sqm
