Explanation:
Hi, die Frage ist, ob nicht "studio apartment" als Gesamtausdruck verwendet werden kann in dem Kontext. Habe unten noch eine Passage aus einem Text kopiert (siehe Link):

"The trick to living in a studio apartment is to arrange your living space for multiple uses. Get a bed or a futon that folds into a couch. During the day, your living area is a comfortable seating area, at night, it is your bedroom. Arrange your personal items out of sight in a closet area. Someone visiting you during the day might not realize you have no separate bedroom."

Peer comments on this answer (and responses from the answerer)
disagree  Dan McCrosky (X): A "studio apartment" is at least one step further up the accommodation ladder. A "studio apartment" has some sort of kitchen facilities (at least: a washing up basin, hot plate(s) and a fridge larger than the typical hotel mini-bar type).
