- Raphael pulls no punches with his brutally honest SpareRoom advertisement
- Lodger says he is leaving London and needs someone to fill his room this month
- Despite the uncomplimentary introduction, he praises his flat and housemates
A lodger trying to rent out his London room pulled no punches in his SpareRoom advert – describing it as a ‘cramped sh*thole in E1’.
But despite the very up-front opening gambit, Raphael gives his Whitechapel flat and housemates a fair hearing.
The tenant, who is leaving the capital, wrote that it is a ‘Large room with double bed and built-in wardrobe’.

He continues enthusiastically: ‘Current tenants are British, Italian, and New Zealander, including a student, an accountant, a chef, a waitress, and a junior banker!’
The flat is a stone’s throw away from three tube stations and Raphael clarifies that ‘ABSOLUTELY ALL bills’ are included in the £660 per month offer.
Though the room looks rather compact, the property comes with a washing machine, gas cooker and fully-fitted kitchen.

It is possible that the advertiser decided to capitalise on Donald Trump’s alleged use of the term ‘sh*thole’ to describe African nations during a meeting last week
It is possible that the advertiser decided to capitalise on Donald Trump’s alleged use of the term ‘sh*thole’ to describe African nations during a meeting last week.
He is said to have used the term at the Oval Office while discussing immigration reform.
Raphael is hoping to have filled his room by January 31.
