Talk:Bedsit

American "studio apartment" a little broader

In the USA, a studio apartment can have a single bedroom, a bathroom, and a large common room comprising a sitting room and a kitchenette, that is, part of the large room has kitchen facilities. In other words, a studio apartment need not have a separate kitchen. Thomas.Hedden (talk) 22:03, 17 September 2015 (UTC)

Incorrect reference to "Late Lament"

The reference to "Late Lament" is incorrect, as that poem was written by Graeme Edge, not Justin Hayward (both of the Moody Blues). — Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.222.182.195 (talk) 21:09, 8 April 2013 (UTC)

This should be merged with single room occupancy

There are a group of articles on the same subject, with different names due to nationality. Bedsit, single room occupancy, Communal Apartment, and probably a few others.Geo8rge (talk) 01:32, 17 September 2010 (UTC)

Shared bathroom?

Quote: A bedsit, also known as a bed-sitting room, is a form of rented accommodation common in some parts of the United Kingdom and Ireland which consists of a single room whose occupants share a bathroom with others.

I contest that. First of, how come the bathroom is shared but not the kitchen? Secondly, to my knowledge the definition of a besit is a flat that consists of a single room (which is bedroom and living room in one, hence the name), but has its own kitchen and bathroom.

Agreed, and the article seems to contradict itself within a couple paragraphs, starting with the definition that the bathroom is shared, but then claiming that "those differ from bedsits in that rooming houses and SRO hotels generally do not provide tenants with private kitchen or bathing facilities- instead, those facilities are shared." So does a bedsit have shared facilities or not? Or is the distinction that a bathroom (toilet) is shared but a bathroom (bathtub) is private? Since when would a place have a private bathtub but a shared toilet? Something's off here, and, per your comment's timestamp, hasn't gone corrected in a decade.
