When we moved into this apartment we could never have imagined how painful it was going to be to live here, within these walls and amongst these people. We wouldn't have known that spending summer here would be unbearable, nor would we have known that the walls and ceilings may as well be made from razor thin paper. From my experience, as I'm hopeful that others have more positive apartment stories, apartment living is not for those whom enjoy peace and quiet, or space for that matter, and even worse, rental apartment living is not for those who seek a functional living space, because landlords don't seem to give a crap. We didn't know that we'd be woken up at three in the morning by the moans and the squeaking bed of the neighbours going at it upstairs, nor would we have known that they would have a dog who would constantly run up and down the floor boards above us. Just picture what that would sound like. Who would've thought there would be a blasting sub woofer, pumping bass into OUR apartment and our agitated bodies. And we could not have known that someone would have a novelty, painfully annoying phone ring that never stopped. Yes, we're looking for a new place to live. And NOT an apartment! I apologise for my rant. AAAHHHHHHHHHHH I feel better now!
