I live in a two-storey terraced house. It has two bedrooms, a living room, a small kitchen and a garden. It's cosy and convenient for getting to work, but it's a bit cramped, especially when we have guests. I live with my wife and daughter. Our house is near the city centre, in a quiet neighborhood. There isn't much to do, but there are some small shops and a park where we go if the weather's nice.
I live by myself in a studio apartment. It just has one main room, with a tiny kitchen. It's very warm in winter, but it can get a bit stuffy in summer. I live in the city centre, very close to everything. It's very lively, with lots of bars and restaurants. It's a good place for young people to live, but not many families choose to live there.
