Rented out for Rp2.1 Million per Month, Bedroom with Mouse Hole-sized Window Becomes Victim of Netizens' Mockery: The Curtain is as Wide as a Mask

Dream - A video clip showing a rented room in China with a 'mouse hole'-sized window has gone viral on social media.

No wonder. The room, measuring eight square meters with a very small window, is rented out for 1,000 yuan (equivalent to Rp2.1 million) per month.

The bedroom in the attic with the mini window is located in the New Pudong Area, Shanghai, and went viral after a real estate agent shared the video on China's version of TikTok, Douyin, on July 28.

According to the agent named Ding, the attic room is a space in a two-story house.

The house itself has six rooms, including the bedroom with the mouse hole-like window.

In addition to the mini window, the room is also equipped with a bed, a small wardrobe, a toilet, and a narrow kitchen.

Specifically, the toilet and narrow kitchen must be shared with other room occupants.

Ding then showed the appearance of another room's 'nano'-sized window in the house.

Although it is beyond reason, the window the size of a palm can be opened and closed. Ding referred to the strange window in the house as the window of the soul.

The appearance of the small opening called the window of the soul in the attic of the house in Shanghai certainly invited mocking comments from netizens.

"Don't throw your mask out the window, because if it gets stuck, it will be mistaken for a curtain."

"Tenants don't need to worry about closing the window when it rains."

"The owner knows that we have been working all day and don't need a bright room when resting."

According to the China Index Academy, the average residential property prices in Shanghai have significantly decreased in the past two years.

Shanghai itself is known as one of the most expensive real estate centers in China. The land prices there are insane.

The current average land price is 63,410 yuan/m2 (equivalent to Rp134 million) for new residential properties.

Meanwhile, the price of second-hand properties in Shanghai per square meter is 62,120 yuan (equivalent to Rp131 million).
