We have friends in Quezon city. During this trip we went to their apartment.

This was the first time that I'd seen the inside of a rental apartment so I was very curious, looking here and there.

They are small for sure. Most of the "extras" are absent, like a handrail for the stairs. Overall no bad though, IMO.

This apartment is home for our two friends (man and woman ) and his sister.

They have a TV, fridge, sink and all that basic kinda stuff. One thing that strikes me is that the paints are often so dreary that it's depressing. A coat of paint before renting a unit might be standard here in the US but it's extra money for the owner in the Phils.

This apartment rents for 7000 php a month ($140) and heat is included.

Sorry no interior shots of the apartment. This is what the outside looks like though. Look at all those wires running around!
