With rent prices skyrocketing, many people are finding it harder than ever to find a place to live, as landlords continue to hike fees while renters struggles to make ends meet.

In such a fraught market, many people are taking to social media to expose the reality of some rental offerings, as properties with weird and wonderful details leave prospective tenants baffled.

Recently, a "luxury" flat came under fire for having an oven you could burn your bum on thanks to the odd layout - but this £1,600 studio flat has an even quirkier issue - the toilet is unusually placed in the shower cubicle.

The extortionately priced flat also has a small bed, that just about fits into the length of the room. It also boasts a tiny desk and a basic kitchen that doesn't have an oven - only two hobs and a microwave, which limits your meal options, especially if you're a keen foodie.

The loo and a sink are situated in a shower area with frosted glass that you have to step into, making shower times significantly more difficult, and making going to the toilet more complicated than it usually would be.

But, in complete contrast to the rest of the flat's vibe, there is a chandelier over the bed.

The expensive flat does come furnished but the property description just reads: "Details to be confirmed."

The pokey property is located on Craven Terrace near Hyde Park, central London, where the average house price is an eye-watering £1.3 million.

One prospective tenant joked: "It gives 's***, shower, shave' a whole new meaning."

Another added: "An absolute joke."

"Yeah, it's an absolute joke in London", another fuming person raged.
