    We had no dishwasher in our first flat, as we put a washing machine there - it was either that or carrying the laundry up and down several levels.

      Wow, a washing machine in the kitchen? That’s really odd…

      I feel so privileged having a separate laundry room and a dishwasher in my kitchen. That’s really typical for my area (US), and I’ve only had one apartment that didn’t have laundry hookups in a separate room (in a bathroom or closet).

        The bathroom was never intended to host a washing machine, as there were spaces in the basement for that. But I would not want my handicapped wife to have to carry all the laundry up- and downstairs. And we used a machine that was both a washer and dryer in one, The flat was quite small, but as a first place to live on our own, it was fine.

          Sounds like our second apartment, which was a huge piece of crap.

          I’ve seen movable washing machines and dishwashers than can stay in a closet when not in use, and then wheeled into the kitchen and hooked up to the faucet and drain as needed.
