The tweep incorrectly refers to it as a one-bedroom flat. But on closer inspection, it's clear that it is more a studio apartment, housing everything in a single room with a separate bathroom.

Regardless, both mesmerised locals and others more impassive had a field day reacting to the tweet after taking in the scenic display. The images capture the entire living space in separate parts due to its large scale.

Breathtaking views from dusk to dawn

Strikingly, it is decked out with superlative finishes in the open plan kitchen and private bathroom, leaving just enough air to circulate throughout the apartment. Anyone lucky enough to call this place home will enjoy scenic city views with spectacular dusk to dawn backdrops.

There was a mixture of incredulity and impassiveness to the tweet which, at the time of publication, attracted more than 6 200 likes, 1 800 retweets and 600 comments.
