The tiniest apartment for rent in San Francisco is a studio located in Lower Nob Hill. The apartment is within walking distance of the Financial District and North Beach.

It includes all the living essentials in one small room — sort of. For one thing, the studio doesn't have a bathroom. The future renter will have to use a shared bathroom.

The sink, which can be seen below, is right next to the studio's front door — and the kitchen seems to consist of that, a mini fridge, and not much else.

The studio did manage to squeeze in some space for a triangular closet, which is also next to the front door.

Beyond that, the studio has one window and a space heater. According to the listing, the unit comes with a dishwasher and in-unit laundry, but we couldn't find them in the listing photos — or, frankly, imagine where they could possibly fit.

$2,295 may seem outrageously expensive for a 161-square-foot studio — and it is. San Francisco is home to the most expensive rental market in the country.

But not all major cities are as wallet-draining as San Francisco. Just consider Raleigh, North Carolina, where the median rent for a one-bedroom apartment is $975 a month.
