An Attempt Was Made
That the apartment has an excellent central location, a functional washing machine, adequate A/C, functional hot water (most of the time), and other basic utilities, I am happy to acknowledge. Beyond those stated facts however, the dwelling is far more sketchy than advertised, and the reality is that apartment #10 constitutes a haphazard attempt to Ikea-up an aging attic space into a livable domicile. This attempt did not succeed.
The sink functions, but the faucet is practically dislocated from the plumbing, you must be gentle with it. This mirrors the state of the cabinetry, which is a sort of Matryoshka doll-like puzzle that can amuse all ages. One must open the freezer to open some cabinet doors, and some cabinets can only be opened when others are opened. A microwave is provided, but it is unplugged for good reason. Be careful what you power on at the same time.
The ceiling beams are a mortal hazard to anyone over three feet tall, but it was thoughtful of the designers to place chairs in locations where dwarves could easily recline and read. Humans, however, had best not attempt this. Despite constant vigilance, over a nine day period I smacked myself in the head several times on the beams. It’s almost impossible to stand in front of the bathroom mirror and perform any act of self-grooming without risking cranial injury.
Sound insulation is non-existent, so if hearing your neighbors talk, scream, make phone calls, or otherwise engage in human fun
