What does apañado mean?

ExpressionColoquial

decent — it does the job

A moderate and very Spanish compliment: not large, not luxurious, but sensibly sorted out and good enough. It is said constantly about flats, cars and arrangements generally. Careful though — estar apañado said of a person means the opposite: estás apañado is "you're in trouble".

Es pequeño, pero está muy apañado.
Praise with the size already conceded.
