A solitary room in the UK, boasting a kitchen at one end, a bed at the other, and a shower-toilet combo in the middle, is raising eyebrows with its rental price, comparable to that of a five-star hotel. Marketed as a ‘mini studio’ by landlord Michelle L, this petite apartment, situated adjacent to London’s Hyde Park above a Cantonese restaurant, has sparked both disbelief and amusement among internet users.
The flat, priced at £1,630 per month (equivalent to more than Rs 1,72,000), features a glass-encased shower cubicle at the foot of the bed, containing the toilet, sink, and shower. Notably, a neighbour conveniently parks their Ferrari right outside. However, the peculiar layout has garnered attention, as using the loo could involve some unintended privacy concerns, given its proximity to the bed. The lack of storage in the bathroom cubicle means towels and toilet paper find their place on the living room/bedroom desk.
The compact kitchen, equipped with a microwave, sink, hotplate, and kettle, occupies the opposite side of the bed-toilet-shower cubicle. Separating the bedroom from the kitchen, a frosted glass wall emanates from the bathroom cubicle. The rental, available for £376.15 (Rs 39,000) per week with a hefty £1,630.00 (around Rs 1.72 lakh) deposit, mandates a minimum 12-month tenancy agreement. The listing amusingly notes its acceptance of families, dogs, smokers, and DSS income, with a preference for students as ideal tenants. However, the abode lacks a parking lot or garden.
The listing’s viral fame has turned it into fodder for internet jokes and trolling, with users poking fun at landlord Michelle L for offering a diminutive apartment with minimal amenities at an exorbitant rate. While luxury hotel rooms generally range up to Rs 5500, this pint-sized space commands a daily rent of up to Rs 5700, sparking further disbelief and online amusement.
