How would 1,500 euros enable her to pay the bills, if rent alone is 1,000? It wouldn't be even remotely close after all life expenses are added in.

Also, you don't have to live in the most expensive part of the most expensive city... Good livable apartments can be had for 300e-400e/month, even in the larger cities.

Yes, the "with a part-time job and being frugal" was a critical part of my post that @adventured clearly missed. Thank you for highlighting it.
