While stationed in Germany, I lived on the economy in an apartment. The military provided appliances and certain furnishings. I had a small electic stove, a full size refridgerator (smaller than a standard American appliance) and a stacked washer and drier set.
The only possible issue would be adequate water hookups and drainage. The use of a drier may require an electrical upgrade. That shouldn't be too much trouble, since most major cities sound so gung-ho over setting up charging stations for electic cars.
Buildings with hundreds of apartments are common. Visualize the retro-fit nightmare.
