Absolutely tiny den in downtown Vancouver hits rental market for $900 per month

It's not much bigger than a large closet.

A tiny room that barely fits a twin bed is being listed for rent on Craigslist for $900.

The windowless "small den" is pictured in the ad with a single bed essentially filling the entire space, though a lamp does fit on one side. The door swings in, with just barely enough room to fully open. In total it appears the room is around 10 feet long and under four feet wide (significantly smaller than a Mini Cooper).

The one design feature the room has is Marilyn Monroe's face painted on one wall.

While there's no closet in the den, one just outside the room is included for the person in the room.

The room is part of a shared downtown Vancouver apartment.

Your roommates will be two other women, including a student, in their 20s and 30s, who describe themselves in the ad as being "very clean and respectful, pretty chill and easygoing."

The group shares the apartment, which includes the usual features, along with laundry on-site, a large deck and a Steve Nash gym on another floor.

"The apartment has a huge balcony and very nice view, all furnished, dishwasher, the kitchen has all the necessary utensils, dishware, cookware, etc, (and) bathroom that you will be sharing with somebody else," describes the ad.

The tiny room is becoming available as rent prices continue to rise; according to Liv.rent the average price for an unfurnished one-bedroom unit is $2,247 per month.
