The flat is not only small but it doesn’t have a kitchen. A kitchen is shared between 4 neighboring apartments. Thankfully there is a shower and toilet. And even a mini-kitchen with a sink. The home is being sold fully furnished.
- $ 15,000
This variant seems to be much better because it is a separate apartment. It’s a studio with a total area of 25 square meters. But it needs repairs. On the whole, there are many flats listed for sale in this price range. Most of them are small studios requiring renovations, Finance.ua reports.
