The apartments are expensive, over GHC3k per month

Replying to the tweet, another man shared a similar photo of another apartment that he saw in North London. Sharing his own photo, @davidfatunmbi wrote:

"This apartment is in Kensington, a posh part of London, (over GHC3k monthly). The kitchen is centimeters from the bed. Note the micro kitchen and how close the hot plate is to the kitchen sink. Could water accidentally splash on the hot plate? Is there a risk of el0ctrocution or fire?"
