The inside was a bit better than the outside-- but that was all thanks to me. There were two apartments in the building. I lived in the upstairs one and the downstairs one was currently unoccupied. When I'd moved in I'd scrubbed down the hallway and the stairs until the wooden floors wWere almost shining. I didn't touch the downstairs apartment, but I'd given my apartment the same treatment.
I'd given the hall. I mopped, swept, vacuumed, and bleached everything in sight. It still looked a little run down, but it was livable and sanitary. I kicked my shoes off by the door and immediately went into the bathroom to shower. The bathroom was a little smaller than I liked, but since I was the only one living here, it wasn't too bad.
The hot water and plumbing worked and that was all that matte
