The ad says "Old converted garage", listed at 550€/month ...

Mine must be too because I didn’t think it was that bad either. It beats a flat share and you could make it look a lot nicer with not too much money.

It does look a bit shabby. But if it's up to code, insulated properly and has a bathroom I'd take it. I've seen worse "traditional" 1 room apartments for more money than that.

All of the Americans of Lemmy are in the comments saying they live in something way worse for way more money 🤷

as long as there's a separate bathroom and not just a big bucket in the driveway......

It's better than the street? Yes It's 550€/month good? Nope. For 250 I could see it maybe.... Of course it depens on location.

If I were still a student I wouldn't hate to live in a place like that. And 550 isn't that expensive compared to most places here.
