Describing homes

I thought you were going to buy your own place. Home come you're still living in a s _ _ _ _ _ a _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
SHARED APPARTMENT
I've gone for one of those n _ _ _ _ b _ _ _ _ apartments near the hospital. It's good to have a place that doesn't need any work doing to it.

I'm waiting until I can find somewhere a _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ . Everything round here is just so expensive.
AFFORDABLE
I know where you mean. They look really nice - c _ _ _ _ _ _ but well designed.
COMPACT
It's got a nice garden - it's twice a _ long as this o _ _ and maybe a bit w _ _ _ _
AS LONG AS THIS ONE / WIDER
We don't have a garden now but we use the space for all our pot plants. It gives us a lovely view over the city, too.

What's your new flat like?
It's great. It's really c _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ for work - I can walk there in ten minutes.
CONVENIENT
Shall we have a look at the new houses near the library? It would be good to be in a c _ _ _ _ _ _ location.
LOCATION
Those new apartments are a bit c _ _ _ _ _ _ - they're half the size of ours, m _ _ _ _ a l _ _ _ _ _ bit smaller.
CRAMPED / MAYBE A LITTLE
I put it on every morning and evening. It's expensive, but I really feel the cold, so I couldn't live without it.
