Morphology

flatlet = flat (transparent) = flat + let

Standard diminutive formation: 'flat' + '-let' yields a smaller version of a flat, which is directly inferable.

Etymology

Flatlet mixes flat, a British word for 'apartment', and the small ending -let, as in booklet, so it simply means a 'small flat'.
