First apartment:
- floor vibrates whenever someone uses the washing machine or dryer, especially when I’m sleeping and someone decides to use the washing machine and my bed vibrates at 3am
- thin windows, you can hear the cars driving past or car alarm ringing at night
- when the next door neighbour slams the door, the shower head leaks water for a minute
- uneven flooring that creaks whenever you walk
- dirty kitchen not cleaned properly, there were black droppings from above, perhaps paint was chipping off / dirt.
Underneath the bed was dirty and dusty.
Tv had slow connection and my Netflix would cut off here and there
Water pressure from the shower head was bad, water would spray in different directions and bathroom would always be wet.
- no bathroom heated floor to dry the floor like the other apartment, both the apartments did not have glass doors to compartmentalise the showers
- they told me this was their best apartment but it’s definitely not
Second apartment:
- throughout the first night when I was sleeping, the aircon leaked all over my exotic bag that was on the table below the aircon.
- sofa had hair clumps left behind by the previous tenant that wasn’t cleaned.
Both apartments
- towels can’t be changed unless you pay a fee. I stayed for a month so I had to wash my own towels or use smelly towels
- no handheld shower which was inconvenient whenever I couldn’t let water touch my face / hair
- smell of cigarette smoke ever so often along the corridors in the evening. Even when there was no one staying next door. Sometimes I even smelt it inside the apartment I was staying in.
