Is this the world’s most compact flat? Go to the toilet while cooking your dinner

It’s the kind of poky apartment estate agents might like to describe as ‘cosy’ rather than ‘cramped’. Time-saving tenants will have the luxury of being able to go to the toilet while cooking their dinner given the flat’s unorthodox interior layout- although food hygiene might be an issue.


The all-in-one kitchen/bathroom/bedroom is available to rent for €200 (£169) a month in the French city of Reims.


Situated in the heart of the traditional site for crowning French kings, the property doesn’t exactly exude pomp and splendour.

Somewhat loosely described as a ‘kitchenette’, the tiny 9m² flat also comes with a bunk bed and a cooking plate.

With a shower overlooking the kitchen, tenants will be also able to have a wash while keeping an eye on their cooking.

The ad was spotted by Louise Wiseman, a 23-year-old English lecturer from Hertfordshire who is renting in Reims.

She said: ‘I saw quite a lot of flats like that before I found my one, albeit not quite that bad.

‘A lot do have the shower in the same room as the “kitchen” and living area. A friend has a flat like that but at least her toilet is in the corridor.

‘There are a lot of small flats around, but that has to be the worst I’ve seen!’ - Metro UK
