I out one of those up in our "utility" space (a sort of wide corridor leading into the kitchen which is in the extended bit of the ground floor, I think it was at one point the original kitchen). The utility space has the same 10ft high ceilings as the rest of the ground and 1st floor. Handy for things that shouldn't go in the tumble drier or there is no urgency to dry them. Hanging it, I only missed the joist once. The ceiling board is hung about an inch below the face of the joists so a stud finder wouldn't work so had to pull out a couple of spot lights, measure the distance to the joist in the ceiling then shine a torch through the gaps in the floorboards in the hallway above to calculate the thickness of the first joist then the distance to the next one I actually wanted to hang from. Surprised I only missed once. But then, once up, ms_com didn't like the position so had to shift it along a bit. So have three holes to fill when it comes to decorating. The wooden slats are not fixed in the cast iron bits, ms_com has already sent the whole lot crashing to the floor a couple of time.

Yeah one of the places we lived in had one and it was great, but a couple of times that happened to me. Never did anything about it as it wasn't my place, but ultimately decided big o-rings around the batons either side of the cast metal would be the solution. Or if you're neat enough, self amalgamating tape.

Pretty sure my OH use to live near where you live now in the same type of flat (albeit different layout).
I'd get one of these and put it in your bathroom:
One of the great things about it, is that as its raw wood, the wood absorbs some of the moisture, meaning your clothes dry faster.
