I went from a 1390 sqare foot condo at the beach to a quarter of an old home. The front stairs are cracked and tilted.
The mosquitos greet you in the hallway and glue themselves to the door until you open it, then they come in.
I have three window units that make a hell of a lot of noise.
No heat right now, they swear there's a furnace going in closer to winter.
The dining room/kitchen is a step down that was built on top of a screen porch, the actual cooking area is added on to that.
You can lean up against a wall while washing dishes.
There are no more than two sets of plugs in any room.
There are window units in each room. Yeah. Where to plug in the alarm clock?
I have four cabinets. Four. Under the sink. Not sure where to put food.
There's roach dirt in them there cabinets. And one was rotted out from a leak.
They "fixed" it with a piece of plywood.
My internet download speed averages 76kbs. Shazaaaam!
The ceiling in the cooking area is about 8 inches higher than the top of my head.
The bedroom is fairly big, but there are two plugs. And a giant arch in the middle of the floor.
So sleeping on my bed is kinda like being on an air mattress, trying not to roll.
The aqua tub and sink are kinda cool, but the tub takes 35 minutes to fill up enough to soak because of water pressure. So it's fairly chilly by the time the water stops.
There's dirt everywhere and I sweep daily.
It does have hardwood floors in the living room and bedroom which are part of the original building and there's a gas stove and hot water heater. It has potential, but I'm looking very, very hard. There's little counterspace for cooking and zero storage.
sigh

it'll get better. then I'll post up pictures. I can walk to three excellent sushi houses, the best falafel place in town, five bars, an irish pub, the gym, the grocery store and a park. On Saturdays, when I get my bike fixed, I can ride to the open-air market. But right now I'm down, so this place sucks.
