Sleep in a cage for $1100 a week

A small studio flat with an unusual bedroom setup is asking big bucks in London. 

At first glance, the bed is difficult to spot. 

A cursory glance at the main living room reveals a couch, dining table, kitchenette and an elegant Edwardian fireplace. 

It’s only on closer inspection you can spot the bed, which is squeezed into a mezzanine floor above the dining area. 

The bed is separated from the living room by a white, cage-like structure that the listing describes as a row of “Moroccan style shutters”.

The international theme continues in the bathroom, which offers a “Japanese soaking tub”. 

This style of bathtub is designed for users to sit upright and is ideal for small spaces. 

A private roof terrace with artificial turf and a table and chairs rounds out the apartment. 

The rooftop is accessed via a wooden ladder at the foot of the bed. 

The property is listed for rent with a price tag of £529.62 per week ($1108.27).

It is located in Bloomsbury, an exclusive neighbourhood in central London lined with grand Georgian terraces and leafy parks. 

The British Museum, the University of London and Kings Cross Station are all within walking distance. 

The suburb’s convenience is reflected in rent prices. 

The median studio flat in Bloomsbury will set you back £1376 per month ($2878). 

Meanwhile, the average two-bedroom apartment rents for a hefty £2875 per month ($6015) – on par with the price for a neat heritage flat in Sydney’s Bondi Beach or Bellevue Hill. 

The Bloomsbury flat is offered furnished. Pets and smoking are prohibited, and a maximum of two tenants are permitted to live there. 

The minimum tenancy period is six months.
