We're a family of 5 living in 104m^2 and it doesn't feel cramped at all. Granted, we don't have a big "master bedroom" and we don't have an office or a laundry room. We also have to keep the place tidy, because it does feel cramped when there's a mess.

But it really depends on expectations. When people who live in the city visit us, they say "woah, that's a big apartment". When people who live on the countryside visit us, they say "how can you live in this tiny space".

My comment really was about how talking about "area per person" is not a good metric, because how spacious an apartment feels does not scale linearly with household size.
