This isn't really different than renting an office, just that your office is REALLY close to your apartment.

Also, really close to the fridge. Which helps on budget as well.

It's totally different in that you don't pay an extra rent. The office is just a room in the house with "which is quite literally closed off from the rest by simply locking the internal door that connects the two".

I'm assuming the rent for the double-apartment is greater than it would be for the single-apartment, so you are paying extra rent.

Tons of houses people already live in have an extra entrance or backdoor -- it's just a locked door between the other rooms. They could live in the same house and pay the same rent without using one room as a separate office -- as millions do.

Exactly, which is why it's also 100% legit.
