Apartments come with a bed and a shower.
That’s pretty much standard, I think we can agree.
But being able to lie in bed and turn on the shower? Yeah, that’s unusual.
This story begins with a tweet sent out yesterday afternoon which piqued my interest:

Call me old school but I prefer my shower inside the bathroom.
Rather than coming with a ridiculous sales price (hello, Rondebosch fixer-upper), this one-bedroom apartment is listed on Property24 for rent for R9 500 a month.
There’s no such thing as bad publicity (there is) so let’s have a look around:
FURNISHED – minimum 12 month lease.
Renovated apartment located in Market House. Open plan dining and living room.
Kitchen fitted with a dishwasher, washing machinr/tumble dryer combo and airconditioning.
Furnished, sure, but you may want to bring along a few things of your own to make it a little more homely.
Now for the centrepiece, described as an “Ensuite bathroom with a shower”:
I mean…
The light right above the mattress and directly in your face is a nice touch.
There’s also the “Bedroom with a built-in bed fitted onto a lofted cupboard”:
Perfect for when Harry Potter pops past for a sleepover.
The apartment on Shortmarket Street, in the heart of the Cape Town CBD, doesn’t come with a parking space.
Some of the jokes write themselves:
This apartment set up takes the phrase “let me jump into the shower” quite literally.
Convenient I must say for us tall fellas

Someone said the space under the bed is the crawl in closet

R9 500 a month in the CBD sure doesn’t get you what it used to.
