"For 'compact courtyard garden' read 'wood-panelled shower cubicle with no views and no actual shower'."
Another person wrote: "‘Fresh air cell’ seems a good fit. Rolling on the floor laughing."
A third posted: "Somewhere to relax after work" alongside a picture of Edvard Munch's The Scream.

"Sorry, where the f**k am I storing the child in this property? The open-air, timber decking clad, child containment cell?"
And a different user added: "That is triggering my claustrophobia just thinking about it."
