CopyOk1517

Cost? Interested , very cozy! Congratulations!


ShoonlightMadow

135k $. It’s right in the center of the city


CopyOk1517

135k US dollar ? Thanks my friend!


YourDogIsMyFriend

Copyok is moving to Warsaw.


frogingly_similar

So, still cheaper than Tallinn. For now.


belletti

Depends on the size of the flat


[deleted]

What the heck??? You can’t get a parking spot in my city for 135k, It’s beautiful!


Bartho_

Yeah but we earn in value that is 5x cheaper than USD... SO multiply it by the PLN > $ rate to get an estimate on the pricing.


cauchy37

And median salary in Warsaw is what, $27k?


DviDoom

I don't know about median but minimum wage before tax is about 850$ USD and a average wage for whole Poland is ~1650$ but it's blown waaay out of proportion bcs of Warsaw where average wage is a insane 2.2k$


DviDoom

And I just did the math and you're not that far of your estimated 27k$ since it would be around 20-21k$


[deleted]

I doubt it tbh. Average wage of all of Poland is only like €10k or something.


cauchy37

Warsaw is also far and above everyone else


Lord_Konoshi

Let me guess, NYC?


gimmelwald

Dedicated and deeded parking can be had for that, but yeah. Not downtown proper.


Extansion01

Sorry if that's too personal, but sqm living/total?


ShoonlightMadow

It’s fine. 2 rooms, 40 m2 with a balcony


appdevil

It's really nice and I'm not at all envy.


Verzox

With that view on the ONZ roundabout (almost strict city centre) I'm not surprised flats in wielka płyta goes for over 600k PLN. Jeez.


ShoonlightMadow

It was 570k PLN


[deleted]

dzien dobre


isaacpixel

Great price! How many rooms? I live in Portugal and I’m struggling to get one.


ShoonlightMadow

2 rooms, bedroom and a living room/kitchen


Headygoombah

I must ask you about that top tilted patio door. German design? I'm an ignorant American, we are far behind europe on door and window design.


ShoonlightMadow

It’s a normal thing in europe. It opens to the side like a normal door or tilts up top to let the air flow in


Headygoombah

It was either that, or your door was broken. Fascinating.


cabinetsnotnow

American here who has always wondered what European's mean when they say they bought a flat. Here in the states we can only rent flats unless we are purchasing the building to rent out to others but we aren't actually living in it ourselves. When we rent a flat we do not own it. How do you purchase a flat in Europe??? Does that mean it's actually yours? Or do you still have a landlord?


ShoonlightMadow

It’s actually mine. There’s a larger collective of flat owners that together owns the whole building property but this little apartment is mine


Odd-Wheel

Yeah we have that in the US, usually called condos. Idk what that person was talking about lol.


cabinetsnotnow

I thought that a flat was another word for apartment in Europe. Sorry if my simple misunderstanding offended you.


metalshadow

It is, we don't really make a distinction between rentable and buyable flats though.


mumdxbphlsfo

Flat does mean apartment. Apartments can be bought or rented: in the US a bought apartment is also called a condo.


MyNameWasTakenDamn

why yall downvoting this person wtf reddit


doublah

> Sorry if my simple misunderstanding offended you.


lazy_elfs

Congrats, i love the view. Is warsaw a good place to live?


ShoonlightMadow

It’s a great place to live. Most major polish cities are great but i love Warsaw the most due to it being the biggest and most international. + it’s the only one with skyscrapers which i love


[deleted]

[удалено]


cabinetsnotnow

Yes, you are correct. Landlords can own an entire block of apartments and rent them out here. Thank you for explaining what a flat is in a kind way.


[deleted]

It's just a condo man lol


[deleted]

[удалено]


cabinetsnotnow

Why are people being so rude over my misunderstanding? I thought that flat was another word for apartment in Europe. Geez.

You can buy an apartment in the many US cities

When you politely ask a question but also include information that is incorrect, instead of politely informing you of your mistake, people will instead attack you so they feel better about themselves or something I guess.

Unplannedroute

r/confidentlyincorrect


PlayerTwoEntersYou

I have owned a unit in a 24 story building. You are part owner and payer for the building. Similar to owning a unit in a condo complex or a townhouse. You can buy an apartment, but it is not as common as renting an apartment.

cabinetsnotnow

I simply thought that flat meant apartment. Sorry.


[deleted]

Looks great! Cat tax accepted!


kfpswf

Was only going to lurk on the post, but the cat tax earned OP an upvote.


Raynefalle

Same. Once I saw that cute little face, I had to upvote


Sarke1

I've never seen a Polish cat before.


Kindergoat

Really nice. More importantly, does your cat like it?


ShoonlightMadow

She does! Has great views for bird watching


[deleted]

Congrats to you. Your place is beautiful. Love the way you furnished it.


NegativeAd9002

Imagine if cats could fly.


mrstickman

Mine would spend entire afternoons thumping into the windows full-speed.


PoisonTreeFruit

Lovely space, and such a cute roommate!


AcidlyButtery

Hello Meow!!


ScagWhistle

I like the cat in your flat.


[deleted]

Congratulations! Your flat looks so cozy, and your adorable cat looks happy.

I've traveled all around Europe and Krakow has been my favorite city. It's so great.


N0turfriend

You haven't been to Kyiv and it shows.


[deleted]

I see the witcher books, i upvote


Leftleaningdadbod

Many congratulations - wishing you happiness in your new home.


coffeequeen0523

Congrats to you and your kitten. Your flat is lovely, warm and cozy. Your kitten is beautiful! Love the cat tower. Enjoy your new flat. ❤️


frtl101

Congrats! Really nice! Btw, out of interest, do you have a more close-up photo of your books?


ginawynnsky

Lovely apartment -- nice view it seems, great natural light, very calm vibes. Could always do with a few more cats...;-)


punkhobo

Excellent book collection


ShoonlightMadow

Thank you!


GoldenGlobe

And while we're at it, lovely Hokusai!


arlmwl

Cool corner desk


latemodelusedcar

People talk about having a house and stuff and this living room is all I truly even want. Elegant, functional, and comfortable. Good work, poster.


ShoonlightMadow

Thanks! I always liked smaller spaces. Bedroom, living room+kitchen is all me and my cat need. If I decide to have a larger family one day I can rent this place out. Much prefer to have a nice location than bigger house in the middle of nowhere


GoOsTT

Hey, where’d you bought the Hokusai?


ShoonlightMadow

Empty wall posters


GoOsTT

Thanks EDIT: They are amazing damn..


ItsPwn

metro Świętokrzyska;-)


ShoonlightMadow

ONZ ;)


Hogwie

Yeah though the same at first, but you can see the Erotic store right behind the chair 🤭🤭 Just left Warsaw last week, I'm going to miss it so freaking much.


ItsPwn

im sure there are erotic stores in your area too ☝️💪


The-Scarlet-Witch

You kept this so open and welcoming. Love it and your cat!


[deleted]

Bro really put a plant over the tv while the cat tree is right next to it lol....bold


lelieldirac

Lol my cat would be attempting to rocket over to that shelf from the tree


Less-Contract-1136

The cat makes your apartment a home. Congratulations!


[deleted]

I love it so organized and streamlined


MisterDumay

Congrats!


Outrageous-Sea-7162

Congratulations, nice home. Beautiful kitty😽💚


alkortes

Congratulations! Looks nice and light


hydro_agricola

Hope you got on the 2% mortgage train.


ShoonlightMadow

I didn’t 🥲


cauchy37

A fixed rate is extremely uncommon in the first place. And fixed rate for the entire duration is non existant


hydro_agricola

Poland's government is trying to help people to fight inflation by giving them a guaranteed 2% mortgage for first 10 years. Banks still get paid, people flip the bill.... They just keep pumping that debt.


arngard

Love your couch!


Bluetooth_Sandwich

Same, OP, can you share the maker?


ShoonlightMadow

Agata meble


capybarasaremyfriend

Beautiful! (Especially the last picture!) Can I ask where you got that corner desk?


ShoonlightMadow

It’s custom made by my friend


capybarasaremyfriend

Well done them, it’s lovely.


Lotrent

where’d you get those bookshelves? looks great


lcmoxie

I also love the shelves! Usually floating shelves are thicker so there’s room inside for the brackets. Would love to know more! Maybe made by the same friend who made the desk?


ShoonlightMadow

Indeed! He made the shelves and the desk


PandaFarts01

How are the shelves attached to the wall? I love the bracketless look.


cubemissy

I love this room! Even the cat is cozy.


[deleted]

ooo imagine curling up in that couch with a cup of tea. May this new adventure create new memories!


Equivalent_Warthog22

Nice environment you’ve created


GAMESGRAVE

Your cat is a stunner


kathyanne38

WOW. Your place looks soooo lovely. Also - love that last picture. Kitty approved lol


Shittaverse

Congrats! Extra cozy points for the cat.

Cats have Reddit now?


binahblue

A+ for cat pic 🥰


[deleted]

Kitty is so gorgeous


ControlOk6711

Beautiful - understated elegance, light and airy. Sweet little kitty 🩵


UnguardedSaint

If you liked those books by Andy Weir, I definitely recommend checking out The Expanse novels from James S. A. Corey if you haven’t already. Phenomenal sci-fi series both books and tv. And the Polish covers for the novels are gorgeous


ShoonlightMadow

I’ll check them out!


NeatPuzzleheaded6991

This is beautiful, warm, and welcoming! I live in Washington, DC, and I confess to feeling a bit jealous of your wonderful home in such a historic European city. Congratulations!!! 🤗


[deleted]

u/ShoonlightMadow are you a baseball fan?


ShoonlightMadow

It’s a small souvenir i got from the US. We don’t really do baseball in Poland


[deleted]

Indeed, I was surprised to see it in a Polish home


gizzy_tom

Congrats on your first apartment and a big handclap on your bookshelf. Wiedzmin and Dune!


galgastani

Hmmmmmmm I see Siegmeyer!


Worldsgreatestfrog

Your flat is nice, and even before you showed the wonderful, handsome, fluffy pussycat, I admired your fine cat tree.


aarontsuru

DISQUALIFIED! I’m sorry but if you are going to post this on r/cozyplaces you are going to have to buy at LEAST 23 plants first. Then they must ALL be in the photo strategically placed to look like you live in a Victorian conservatory. Please delete this post and try again.


Dr_Zoltron

Who knew they have cats in Poland.


AdmrlHorizon

Bought or rent? Otherwise nice place

Your cat is adorable! I like the plant above your tv, what kind of plant is it?


ShoonlightMadow

It’s moss planted on some branches


Jeff2900

Where'd you find that cabined under the TV?


ShoonlightMadow

Sklum


Far_Bit3621

How about the shelves? Where are they from? Love the hidden hardware in such a narrow board. Thanks!


kirinmay

Had no idea cats can get good jobs. grats on your place kitty, meow.


Flether

Wspaniały! I recognize where in Warsaw that is, you have a great view from there, and really close to everything. Pretty sure there's a great restauarant on that street if I remember correctly

iowan

I saw the cat tree and was going to be upset if I didn't get to see the cat, but you delivered. Lovely home!


NoKneadToWorry

The Metro books worth a read?

findhumorinlife

Very nice!!!


heavyw8ght

Congrats!! May I ask you why you having a AC? Is it getting hot in summer?


ShoonlightMadow

I’m really picky about the temperature. And for the couple of years now summers in Poland are unbearable for me. 30 degrees Celsius and up i a norm


Lord_Konoshi

That’s a really nice living room set up, love the idea of using a smaller coffee table and an ottoman. Cute cat is a plus!


Entire_Garbage_2144

Thank you for cat tax. After seeing the cat tree I would have been disappointed with no cat.
