‘You can cook sitting on the toilet’: 6-square-metre Chinese nano-flat under the stairs slammed as affront to human dignity
- Six-square-metre dwelling in east-central China goes viral after advertising pitch by real-estate agent vaunts its ‘all-inclusive’ design
- So-called nano-studio ‘boasts’ a toilet-cum-cooking space, two windows and a kitchen sink which converts into a shower
Images of a tiny suburban living space in China where the tenant can sit on the toilet and cook at the same time which is being marketed for its “all-inclusive” design have gone viral online.
The six-square-metre room in Shanghai is being offered for rent at 380 yuan (US$55) per month and has triggered an online buzz after a property agent shared a video of it on social media late last month.
It was renovated from a storeroom under the stairs of a three-storey house in a village in the city’s Qingpu district, the Jimu News reported.
The two-windowed studio includes a small single bed on one side and a kitchen and toilet on the other, the report said.
It also has a washing machine, hot water and a shower attachment for the kitchen tap.
Billed as a billet for people who “need a temporary shelter”, a property agent, surnamed Li, said the last tenant stayed there for a month.
