Our apartment is interesting and there are many unique things about it:
The tub is huge!!! But it has no shower curtain. Water gets everywhere. One day, the water started to go out the tub and water was leaking out of the bathroom door!
There are only two outlets in the entire apartment. But at least we have two power strips. One of the outlets is in the kitchen and the other is in the livingroom. Not in the bathroom and not in the wash closet.
To dry my hair, I have to plug my dryer in the livingroom. Nice thing is we have a huge mirror on the wall.
We have a washing machine. In order to plug it in, we have to pull a power strip from the living room, down the hall, to the wash closet where the washing machine is.
We do not have a clothes dryer. But it's warm in our flat, so the clothes dry quickly.
Our toilet screams this high pitched scream every time you flush it. But at least we have a toilet. And.toilet.paper. :)
We do not have a freezer. We bought ice cream our first day here, not knowing this. Our ice cream melted...such a crime! But the back of the fridge ices up, so we put the ice cream against the back and half of it is frozen now. I turned it and the other half froze. Perfect!
We have no oven, only two small burners, 1 pot and 1 pan with no handle. Thankfully our landlord is awesome and she bought me a brand new pan!!!
There is a door that we must open with a code to enter the stairwell. When we first enter the stairwell, it is dark. Pitch black. Once we get 8 steps up, the motion sensor detects us and the stairwell light comes on. BUT by the time we get up to our door, that light goes off and we are left in pitch darkness to unlock our door. But, our landlord is awesome and yesterday she replaced the light outside our door!!
Speaking of the door to our apartment, the doors here have three deadbolts! One key, turned three times - one for each lock. Sometimes four. And some apartments have two doors you enter.
