See an illustrative response

My flat is on the second floor of a small building. It has two bedrooms, a kitchen, a bathroom and a living room. My favourite room is my bedroom. There is a desk under the window and a blue chair beside it. I keep my books on a shelf above the desk. I read and do my homework there. It is small but comfortable.
