    The second one. Definitely the second one.

    Of course that is based on the floor plan, if there are other considerations (noise, etc.) I’d also take that into account as I make a decision.

    Ohm definitely the second one. It has much better use of space! Are you moving?

    All else equal the second by far. Much better use of space. Without a roommate, why waste space on the bedroom when you can use it on living?

    I don’t know German but it looks like Bad means Bath and if so why is the tub so far from the wall in both of them? I like the 2nd as well but you know what they say, location, location, location!

    Quick German Translations:

    “Wohen” = Livingroom

    “Bad” = Bathroom

    “Schlafen” = Bedroom

    “Kochen/Essen”, literally “Cooking/Eating” aka Kitchen

    “Arbeiten” = Work (work space)

    “Gartenrobe” = Coat Rack space

    “EBK” = Built in Kitchen (Not common in Germany)

    AR/Abstell/Abstellk. = Storage Space.

    Those little boxes in the second floor plan indicate built in bookcases in the wall.

    The extra Abstellkammer in the second one is nice, plus having a Garderobe area might be a plus. Smaller, closed off rooms might be a minus though (if the two are to scale). Also, I like having the skylights spread out over more of the apartment — provided the light can travel from room to room. That was a big plus in our old apartment and one of the things I’ll miss the most in the new one.

    I like the second one.
    But I warn you about the top floor of any German building in summer. Many of them could easily be considered a sauna, without the wonderful attributes… except the heat of course. Make sure you have good cross-ventilation.
