The first thing we did was rent an expensive apartment the size of cupboard.
实际上是 apartment 与 the size 之间的 of 省略了。见章振邦《新编高级英语语法》:
The first thing we did was(to省略了) rent an expensive apartment the size of cupboard.
参考译文:我们做的第一件事就是租了一套面积只有橱柜那么大的昂贵公寓。
备注:the size of cupboard为名词短语作后置定语,相当于which was the size of cupbord
