If you live alone and don't plan on having a lot of overnight guests/reasons for a 2 person bed, I recommend a camping cot with your choice of padding over top.
When I lived in a studio, that's what I did. Camping cots are totally collapsible and easy/lightweight enough to maneuveur without a second set of hands. When my partner would visit, we'd put the padding (a camping mat, a yoga mat, and a thick comforter) on the floor wide enough for 2 people. Now we're married and sleep on a Japanese futon.
We bought our futon from "futon beds from Japan". We don't put anything underneath to sleep on. We own a clothes drying rack (like this one) and we drape it over that to air out and to dry after wash days.

Over the last 4 years of cloth diapering my two kiddos we have lived in an apartment with communal coin laundry. We've done a whole variety of types of washing, including washing every few days with just the coin laundry (coincidentally, the same price as your machines!), washing with a twin tub portable washer like this one, to now washing with a portable fully automatic washing machine like this one. For a good stretch of time we were using the portable twin tub washer every evening to do the first round of washing, and then every four days take the four days worth of half-cleaned diapers up to the massive communal washing machine and doing the second wash cycle. Hah, that was when I was getting really sick of the twin tub washer but wasn't yet willing to pull the trigger on an automatic portable washer.
All methods have had their pros and cons! Right now we are extremely happy with the fully automatic washer. We can do both wash cycles, every other night, in two hours. This is clutch as both my partner and I both work fulltime outside the home and have limited time for chores. With two kiddos running around it began to be too labor intensive to use the twin tub portable washer. You have to go in and move the diapers from the wash compartment to the spin compartment, and then back again, for each cycle. It doesn't sound like much but while chasing two kids I'd forget when it was time to switch one to the other and basically would end up stretching one diaper washing session out over four hours.
We almost exclusively line dry our diapers. It's only recently been warm enough to dry them on our tiny balcony with our drying rack. When the weather is crappy we've been drying them in our living room on the drying rack and with the infamous Ikea octopus dryer racks. When I'm especially lazy or when company is coming over and I want a clean living room then I'll toss the diapers in the communal dryer and spend the $1.
I realize this post is all over the place but let me know if you have more specific questions!
tl;dr: cloth diapers without a washer and dryer is totally doable!
