Auto-translated to English by AIIt was once a nice neighbourhood but not anymore. Nothing is being fixed in the apartment, it's draughty everywhere and damp, nothing is done about it, yet paying almost 800 euros. At the front, rats are running around, people have had rats on their balcony, the weeds are very high, almost up to the balcony.
