The one where you actually have meaningful and personal conversations with your partner and family in the kitchen. You know, like a human.
Also a lot of people rent studios and one bedrooms or otherwise have open floor plans.
- afavour 3y agoI’m not denying that personal conversations happen in the kitchen. But the most intimate space? That’s pure hyperbole.
