Real honest review of an illegal apartment conversion
Pros
It’s an okay tiny house. It was what I needed when I graduated from grad school and didn’t have a job. The apartment was not a legal apartment, the house had been illegally subdivided into 4 separate units. The Landlord lived in the main unit. I lived a squalid life here, I had nothing, but slowly built up my life and career one little foothold at a time. I learned the value of earning your living, living beneath your means, and being humble in life.
Cons
There was no kitchen, no kitchen sink, no laundry, no living room, no bedroom door. It was literally 4 walls, one refrigerator, and one bathroom. I made it work by bringing in a toaster oven, hot plate and coffee machine. I had to do what I had to do to survive. I was embarrassed to bring over any guests. I washed my dishes in the tiny bathroom sink. It was awful, but at least I had a place to live and lay my head to sleep
Advice to the owners
Please improve the living conditions. The conditions were appalling by any standard.
