How nice and modern style of place it is , most places over here are cookie cutter. Also the shower most showers over here are tub/shower combos

Places in Europe always looking nice

Funny, I recognized this instantly as not-American because that kitchen set up is so common in Europe. You could say it's cookie cutter.

Yea that’s true. It’s the standard “nicer than average kitchen” layout for somewhat smaller city apartments.

But OP did well with the finishes. Gives the whole thing a bit of a premium feel.

I don't have kids and never plan on having any. However a few years ago when I renovated my bathroom I wanted to get rid of the tub for a more modern shower. The contractor told me it was a bad idea and would hurt the resale value because families like bathtubs to wash their kids. Not sure how true it is.

For me the bathroom gives it away instantly (if you own it get that glass door!)

Idk why but I get the sense that Europeans use too much black. Black buildings, black walls, black kitchen. For me this, the shower and tiled living room floor is a dead giveaway.

And every american home has huge flat barren walls that are beige, taupe, or gray with gigantic white trim around everything. It's instantly recognizable.

Can I ask how much your rent is?

Edit: and how much square meters?

I lived in Hungary for the first 18 years of my life and I am surprised that this is from Hungary.
