200-sq-ft downtown Vancouver apartment listed for $1,450 a month

(Craigslist)

Who said there’s no affordable housing in Vancouver?

This entire apartment in swanky Gastown is on Craigslist for just $1,450 a month — an absolute bargain when compared to the average price of a one-bedroom condo in the city centre, around $1,950 according to PadMapper.com.

At 200 square feet, this urban gem is ideally suited to Lilliputians, leprechauns or humans of diminutive stature. Featuring a private bathroom, this veritable Hot Tub Time Machine comes fully furnished in collegiate-IKEA chic and a kitchenette with actual hotplate.

There’s no Carrie Bradshaw-approved closet here, but they say we wear our favourite 20 per cent of our wardrobe 80 per cent of the time so it shouldn’t be a problem for your entire wardrobe to fit in a hanging rack with three mesh drawers.

This downtown jewel, available September 1, isn’t expected to stay on the market long, because only three things matter when apartment-hunting: Location, location, location.

Enjoy breakfast in bed every day — you may not have a choice.
