Yuck...

Went round to look at the apartment today.  Firstly, various conversations that I had had with various people led me to understand that the area was not a good area for a gay man to live in.  Secondly, the locale was visibly dingy, which was not helped by the gloomy entrance to the apartment block.  Then the flat itself - paint all over the floor, wallpaper peeling off the wall, pigeon cr*p all over the balcony and a general feeling of neglect.  So, I'm back on the waiting list...
