↑ While the listing doesn’t give a specific square footage, this furnished microstudio in Capitol Hill looks like it’s among the smallest of the small. It doesn’t have a full kitchen, or even a full-size fridge, and it’s unclear whether there’s a larger kitchen onsite. It rents for $950, but utilities are included.
