An advertisement for an apartment rental in Minsk went viral on Threads. It's all about the price tag — 15,000 rubles, or just over 5,300 dollars a month, writes Tochka.by.
Some users even thought the author of the post accidentally added an extra zero, but no.
We are talking about a four-room apartment on Storozhovskaya Street (this is the "Chizh House"). The total area of the living space is 207 m².
Inside — three separate bedrooms, a spacious living room, and a panoramic view of the Svislach river from the 11th floor.
But the real highlight is the number of bathrooms. The advertisement states that each bedroom has its own toilet. In addition, another one is provided for guests.
Judging by the photos, the interior is done in a modern premium style: expensive finishes, designer lighting, and furniture. In short, this is clearly not an option for those looking for a one-room apartment near the metro.
The advertisement quickly gathered dozens of comments. Some users admitted that they didn't even suspect the existence of such rental prices in Minsk.
Others began comparing the apartment to foreign real estate. According to commentators, for such money, and sometimes even cheaper, one could rent a luxurious villa somewhere on the seashore.
However, most Belarusians reacted to the advertisement with humor. Here are some of the funniest comments:
- «Do you rent by the second?»
- «I'll take it for 15 minutes with my salary!»
- «Are students allowed?»
- «It's nice to know that I am the target audience for this post. I felt rich, if only for a second.»
- «For that kind of money, Spielberg should be filming the apartment tour.»
- «Probably an extra zero.»
- «Did you sit on your keyboard?»
- «Surely, you can move in there with a bison.»
- «Urgently looking for 10-15 people for shared living.»
