I've been debating using some older Ubi AP's in my home lab, they're (usually) pretty solid.
Short answer, probably overkill if you say live in a 1 bedroom home, but if you're looking for better coverage/extending range/routing all wireless through the AP and disabling it on your home router; its potentially a good option.
You can run individual APs in standalone mode with limited features, and you'll need a POE injector or a power supply depending on the unit you're thinking of using.
