Bus/Financial - Real Estate / Property related Website
English term or phrase: studio/bachelor
This is a keyword of a property related website. It is a conceptual word used for a kind of apartment. I need a one word Keyword for it. Just need a suggestion from all esteemed memebers of this site...Will transliteration not be the best option for it? Many such words like mobile home, floating home, cottage etc have occured in this website and in my opinion transliterating them would be the best strategy. Am I right?

agree  Anindita Basu (X): I think एक कमरे का फ्लैट is best. Using the transliteration for "studio" may lead to confusion or mix-up with a photo studio ("studio" is almost always used to refer to a photo studio)
