tuGuest Lope de Vega Apartment

There’s potential in this apartment, and it might take very little work to bring it out, but right now the house needs a complete renovation. The beds are a major problem: two have broken frames and are in terrible condition. The owners or managers don’t seem to care when you raise issues. They say they’ll try to fix things, but apparently these problems have been there for years. The bathrooms are in rough shape. One is old and moldy, with a broken glass shelf and nowhere to hang the shower head. The other has a whirlpool tub that doesn’t work, and water leaks out because there’s no shower curtain. Its door lock is broken too, so it won’t close. In the kitchen, the old, unclean space has dirty pans and no extractor fan. The intercom rings, but it won’t open the door, so you have to go downstairs to let people in. They say smoking isn’t allowed, yet the house reeked of tobacco.

What a spectacular apartment.
