There is no official or legal definition of what constitutes a 1.5, 2.5 or 3.5 apartment.
An apartment will always have a kitchen and a bathroom. The kitchen may or may not be included in the 1.5, 2.5 etc definition (see below). A studio, for example, has one room, where the kitchen - usually a galley kitchen - is a part of the room. The bathroom is separate. So, a studio is a one room apartment.
The .5 can be a corner of a living room, for example an L-shape where the dining area makes up the .5.
This definition from the State
«Natürlich belichtete und belüftete Flächen von mindestens 5 Quadratmetern, die nicht als Zimmer angerechnet werden können, gelten als zusätzliche Flächenangebote oder halbe Zimmer».
"Areas with natural light and ventilation of at least 5 square meters, which cannot be counted as rooms, count as additional space or half rooms."
- eine mindestens 12 Quadratmeter grosse Wohnküche
- ein mindestens 6 Quadratmeter grosser Essbereich in der Küche
- ein mindestens 6 Quadratmeter grosser Vorraum oder Gang, häufig mit Garderobe
- a kitchen area of at least 12 square meters
- a dining area of at least 6 square meters in the kitchen
- an anteroom or corridor of at least 6 square meters, often with cloakroom
Als ganze Zimmer zählen Wohn-, Schlaf-, Kinder- und Arbeitszimmer. Nicht als Zimmer zählen die Küche (Ausnahme Wohnküche) und das Badzimmer. Eine 2-Zimmer- beziehungsweise 2,5-Zimmer-Wohnung hat (in der Regel) ein Wohnzimmer, ein Schlafzimmer, eine Küche oder Wohnküche und ein Badzimmer.
Living room, bedroom, children's rooms and a study count as "whole" rooms. The kitchen (except kitchen/dining/living room) and the bathroom do not count as rooms. A 2-room or 2.5-room apartment has (usually) a living room, a bedroom, a kitchen or eat-in kitchen and a bathroom.
But to be sure, you really need to see a floorplan and/or photos.
It's also useful to know how many square metres the apartment has. A studio has around 20sqm
