Totally do able, especially if you are living in a place like SF or NY where the majority of your time is going to be spent not at home. Over the years we have lived in a variety of sizes of places, both long and short term. They all have their inherent pros and cons. One of my favorites that we stayed in was this 500 sq ft glass house that we rented for a week a couple of years ago. I could have lived there, though it was a bit remote: https://www.airbnb.com/rooms/25230
