An unusual real estate listing in Bucharest has captured attention online, with an agent presenting what he claims is Romania's smallest studio apartment. The property, located in an ultra-central area of the capital, measures a mere 5.93 square meters.
The studio, situated on Ion Brezoianu street near Cișmigiu Park, is being offered for 17,000 euros. It is located on the 8th floor of a building constructed in the 1930s, which is classified under seismic risk class II. The agent, Filip, noted that the apartment was previously used by a student.
Filip's presentation highlighted the apartment's significant limitations. It lacks a kitchen and a parking space. The bathroom facilities are shared among several studio apartments and are described as extremely narrow. The interior also requires renovation, with visible cracked tiles.
The viral video showcasing the tiny apartment has generated thousands of likes and numerous comments. Many internet users made jokes about the space, comparing it unfavorably to music speakers or even a jail cell. Others expressed shock at the price, questioning who would live there and deeming the 17,000-euro price tag exorbitant for such a small, albeit centrally located, property.
