    I just wonder how you fill all that space up.

I don't. I have not much more furniture than the last place I lived, which was about one third as big. It's easy to vacuum and sweep around nothing, so keeping it clean isn't really an issue. I have a bathroom that I haven't used in god knows how long, so it's a bit silly to have to clean that, as water stains just naturally build up, and I have a shower that I have literally never used once in the 2.5 years I've owned this place. I run the water from time to time to make sure that rust doesn't clog the pipes, but again, it doesn't require much maintenance. I bought the place, because it had just gone into foreclosure, so I got a remarkably good deal. Before that, I never saw myself as the type to have such a large condo. It's fairly easy to get used to, however.
