You can rent a $800 room in Downtown Â鶹´«Ã½Ó³»­as long as you're not scared of heights

Quite the view to wake up to

Another tiny room in Vancouver has opened up...as long as you're cool with heights.

At $800 per month the rent is reasonable, though the space is tiny. The room is a highrise overlooking the International Village.

And by overlook, we mean the apartment is high enough to use the sundial on top to tell the time (depending on cloudiness).

"This is a cozy & quiet place perfect to live & enjoy your life in Vancouver," states the ad.

Cozy is an apt description. A twin bed barely fits in the oddly shaped room; when pushed against one wall a corner hits the curved outer wall. However, since there is a bit of a bend in the wall, there's room for a small nightstand. The ad also notes there's a small closet included in the rent.

The other big feature of the room is the huge windows. In photos they appear to be floor-to-ceiling with amazing views of the area, looking out over Gastown and to the Port of Vancouver.

"Facing beautiful ocean & mountain scenery with Â鶹´«Ã½Ó³»­lookout, you will see downtown Â鶹´«Ã½Ó³»­from a higher floor," notes the ad.

The ad doesn't share how many people are already living there, only that there are "awesome flatmates."

The $800 does appear to cover all costs, including WiFi, cable and hydro. And while there's not much privacy, there are lots of shared things. The building includes a pool, gym and sauna.
