I've been in Eastern European commie blocks that have private baths and kitchens. Seen them in Soviet films too. So I guess this must have been an older building.
i've seen batshit layouts in older apartments. the older, the weirder. they dont make any sense with the way we live now. the first mass built apartments that had layouts i'd consider good for today's living were panel flats (plattenbau) built in the 70s. all the stuff built in the 50s-60s have to have walls moved, rooms redrawn to be any good. i actually have no idea what kind of houses they built in the late 40s/early50s here, they're probably even weirder.
I lived in a subdivided brownstone where my studio apartment was what had been the living room. It had no bathroom originally so they turned the Harry Potter under stairs closet into the tiniest bathroom ever. And there was not actual shower, they just put water proof panels on a little outcove in the wall and put a shower head in.
yeah, a lot of large old flats got subdivided here too, they can be very strange and hard to live in
