Some of the worst rooms on the globe

South Africans, most of all travellers on the globe, know how to cut expenses and live cheaply. 

It's common knowledge that travelling the globe requires some comforts of home to be disregarded, right? True, but some of the people listing "apartments" on the web take rental spaces to the edge of doom – literally!

WorstRoom.com, a blog about trying to find affordable housing in New York City - notorious for expensive rental spaces that aren't up to scratch - has encouraged travellers from across the globe to share the ridiculous offers for housing they've come across.
