Created by Antwerp creative agency Friendship, as part of a clever initiative to raise money for a homeless charity, the apartment is located in Manhattan and has three bedrooms, two bathrooms with bath and shower, a spacious living area and a home office with a nice view.

Founders Bart and Phil said: "You are probably reading this from a cosy warm place, like your home. Remember that thousands of people do not have a cosy warm home. They are living in the streets, in your neighbourhood. That is why the profit of the Gingerbread Loft will be donated to a charity for the homeless, in your neighbourhood."
