I'd recommend paying attention to compact two-burner models - they save space really well and handle cooking for one or two people just fine. When you're choosing, check the dimensions of the niche for the stove, the quality of the enamel (so it's easier to clean) and whether it has electric ignition - that's super convenient in everyday use. From my own experience, I'd say it's worth overpaying for well-known brands like Gefest or Zanussi, because they last longer and it's easier to find replacement parts. The main thing is make sure you have gas supply in your house, and hire a specialist to install and connect it.
I have a compact stove in my kitchen, so I get the question. The main thing is to actually measure the niche where you're going to put the stove, because even a few centimeters in different directions make a difference. Two-burner models are really a good choice, but I want to clarify - are you going to be cooking mainly on your own or is it a family situation? Because if you occasionally need to cook something more serious, then maybe you should go with three burners after all.
Pay attention to the quality of the burners and how they're regulated. Cheap models sometimes give a weak flame at minimum, which is annoying. When I was buying mine, I looked at reviews on actual store websites - people write about the nuances there. One more thing: if you have a small kitchen, look at stoves with an oven (if space allows) instead of just a cooktop, because that saves way more space than you might think.
And yeah, check if the gas supply in your house works. Some residential complexes require certain approved models, for example, at my neighbor's house they recommended specifically the one that passed the management company's inspection. What are the dimensions of your niche?

A niche 50 by 60 centimeters, and I mostly do the cooking. Central gas, the management company didn't impose any restrictions.
