There are many different types of people who rent flats in Canterbury. Such people come from all walks of life and will be of all ages, from late teens upwards. By flats, we mean the whole range of residential apartments, large and small, expensive and affordable for those on limited budgets. The smallest flats are studio flats, which have the bed in the living room. Sometimes the bed in a studio flat is a sofa bed, and other times the bed will be hidden in a vertical structure with hinges at the base that is attached to a wall. When the bed is needed, the top edge of the bed is pulled downwards from the wall. For beds like this and for sofa beds, the associated bedding items such as quilts and blankets, will often kept in a cupboard or in a free-standing wooden chest with a lid. Studio flats can be an affordable option for people who are have limited funds, and students often fall into this financial category.
