Would you live in this cupboard for £40 per week?

[Loukas]

This was a legit advert on Gumtree last week..

“We are renting this cute little loft conversion which is a former storage space. Please note you cannot stand upright in the room. It comes with its own bedding (freshly washed), parquet flooring and there is enough space to store a few pieces of garment. The location is amazing, there are lots of shops, good transport and is right in the heart of Westminster. We are generally quite easy going but do not tolerate noise at night or disorderly behaviour. Ideally it would suit someone less than 5’4 tall and with no history of claustrophobia.”

jhezus, tbh thats not even that bad of a price, its tiny though. Studio flats in my area go up for £840pw :(

[Apple202]

jesus houses in london are ridiculously expensive

[King Gizzard]

loft conversion LOL it's basically a cupboard with a blanket in. But I'd sleep in there easily, just not for 40 pound

[Adamw92]

No way, I'd panic every time the door was closed!

[Samm]

No, there would be spiders every where in a dark cupboard

[jackc1806]

If it crawled on you couldn't move eww :bawling:

[GypsyGoth]

i suppose if you had access to the rest of the house to hangout in, that wouldn't be too bad, for if that's all you get for £40, that's silly.

[Livia]

If it wasn't your main residence, but just for work, and bearing in mind the cost of commuting and the price of hotels coupled with the amount of money you can earn in London, I'd consider renting it, yes.

[Niamh.]

lmao that has to be a joke? I'm sure you can rent a proper room in a house for the same money? That has to be against all sorts of health and safety regulations as well

Ugh I just couldn't live in London unless I was earning mega bucks, extreeeeme prices!

[Jordan.]

Looks snug

We are generally quite easy going but do not tolerate noise at night or disorderly behaviour. No parties up there then? http://www.curioustopic.com/images/smilies/unsure.gif
