It could be a good place but it’s been lacking maintenance for 10 years. Everything was breaking down when I arrived. Also the Covid hygiene care wasn’t guaranteed.
The carpets were supposed to be beige and they were grey and full stains. When I got there there was still a cleaning lady trying to clean it with a cordless vacuum which of course didn’t do much good. I’ve asked the owner to order a deep cleaning. He paid in the end but I had to order that myself, accompany the service and pay ahead. It was better than it was but the owner didn’t want to pay enough to get rid of the stains.
The kitchen cupboards weren’t cleaned. As well as most of the kitchen ware. I had to clean what I could myself. The oven was full of grease as well as the exhaust filters. The air conditioner intake grill was completely black which reflected the poor condition of the inside filter. I had to ask the owner to replace it which he did himself but off course a deeper maintenance should’ve been done to the system.
The bathroom, not that it was dirty, but the shower curtain rod was completely rusty, and the ceiling had moisture stains all over.
One of the commodities that I was looking for and was mandatory was having a laundry machine and a dryer. When I arrived I was asked not to use it because it was broken and someone would go there to fix it after 2 days. I had to be waiting for that guy who in the end said that it wasn’t worth to fix it. The owner then ordered a new one which was supposed to arrive only the following week. Ended up arriving 3 days after what it was supposed. Again I had to stay home and wait for the delivery. The option, the owner told me, was simply leaving the door to the apartment unlocked, which of course I couldn’t. When the guys finally came to install the machine they found out the wall water valves to which the machine was connected were broken so they couldn’t shut down the water to unplug the old machine. In order to fix this I had to call a plumber myself, the owner told me, “ search for plumber on Google “!!! Anyway they couldn’t do much because to fix it, due to some building constraints, they would have to cut the water to every other unit and that would have to be previously scheduled and authorised by the other owners. Off course that date was unforeseeable. At the same time the sink drainage broke and flooded the whole cupboard below and the faucet pipe was leaking and eventually turned loose.
At this stage I decided I had to leave this apartment after two weeks. I was supposed to have stayed 2 more months. Never once the owner apologised.
