Flat in trendy London suburb could be yours for just £850 a month – but it comes with a catch | The Sun
THIS flat in a trendy London suburb is on the market for just £850 a month – but there is a catch.
The studio flat in Notting Hill is quite reasonably priced but when you see the inside, you'll soon change your mind.
It has been slammed online after house-hunters noticed the shower was directly next to the oven.
And with the bed plonked in the middle of the tiny space, the feng shui is completely off.
Most flats in the area start from around £1,000 a month after the iconic Hugh Grant and Julia Roberts movie was filmed there.
But potential renters said they couldn't believe the listing was even real with some pointing out you could rent an entire house for that outside the capital city.

The "compact studio" toilet does however have a separate door so is sectioned off from the kitchen.
As well as the £850 for rent, you’ll need to fork out £1,700 for a deposit, plus pay for council tax and internet on top – but bills are included.
One flat hunter – called Matt – said: “I wouldn’t live there if the landlord paid me £850 per month.”
