See an illustrative response

My family lives in a flat on the third floor of a small building. As you enter, the kitchen is on the left and the living room is straight ahead. Two bedrooms and a bathroom are along a short hallway. The room I enjoy most is the living room. It has a wide window and a table where I do my homework in the afternoon. In the evening, we move my books and eat together there. This makes the room useful for several activities. Our flat suits us because it is close to school and the shops. If I could change one thing, I would add more storage. At the moment, our coats often end up on the backs of chairs.
