My first apartment was pretty cheap, for very good reasons. -18 sq meters. -Heating appliance really too big, with a very loudy ignition, and nearly impossible to keep on during windy weather. -It was under the roof and the intercom did not work, so i had to get down all the stairs to know who just ringed to me. -The floor cracked at every step. -My direct neighbor were borderline-rednecks.
