A city centre bin room was converted into a studio flat and went on the market for £600 a month, sparking outrage in the local community.
The property in Manchester was put up for rent on Rightmove, where it is described as a "modern studio" that has been "newly refurbished".
Pictures posted on the property website show a kitchen and cupboard made out of chipboard in a small space.
The room, next to the entrance to the car park, appears to have no windows, the Manchester Evening News reports.
The property ad says the "studio flat" has one bedroom, as well as a kitchen, bathroom and shower.
It adds: "This would be the ideal home office for any working professional who wants to be located in the buzz of city centre, close to all amenities."

On Rightmove, the agent said enquiries from students and people in receipt of housing benefit would be welcomed.
It appears the property is not being offered for residential purposes, as the advert also says there will be no council tax to pay. A maximum of four tenants is also suggested.
However, a spokesperson for Manchester Council told the MEN this still may require change of use approval and planning officers will contact the owner.
An application to Manchester Council for change of use planning permission to convert the same space into a "studio apartment" was refused in June.
Applicant Broompark Management described the space as a "vacant store".
Maps lodged with the planning application show its location within the "bin store area".
A covering letter said the studio would also have new windows added which would provide "the living and sleeping space with excellent outlook and ventilation, addressing previous concerns elsewhere in the Green Quarter of overreliance on artificial lighting."
"This helps to create a comfortable living area and sufficiently lit space," the letter added.
The total floor space was 40 square metres.
But planners refused the application saying it would result in an "unacceptable standard of living accommodation for the proposed occupants and would not have a positive impact on the supply of high quality homes in this part of the city centre."
The refusal went on: "Small windows would provide the only source of light and ventilation to the apartment, and the door and a window which is also located adjacent to the car park entrance would be particularly effected by noise, disturbance and fumes which would also contribute to the poorstandard of accommodation.
"The proposal would therefore have an unduly harmful impact on residential amenity by not meeting the required standard of accommodation."
It comes after a small studio flat which has a bunk bed right next to the kitchen and a bathroom without a door went on the market for £875 a month.
The property in Barons Court, west London, is described on Rightmove as a "good size studio" despite being only 140 square feet.
It features an area with a bunk bed just next to the kitchen, with no space to walk around.
Pictures on the property site also show a shower within the studio with a curtain, but no door separating it from the rest of the living area.
