“Not a home, but an apartment.
The color and overall scheme were like a coastal village in Greece.
900 square feet, one bed, one bath.
Very nice updated kitchen and bathroom.
Lovely little dining nook and spacious living room.
My husband and I couldn’t fit inside the ‘bedroom’ standing side by side.
There was zero room or space for a bed.
Instead, there was a 6x2 space IN the floor.”

There was a vulture roost two trees filled with around 60 vultures.

There was no parking.

They had a deck over a hill that led into traffic and had no railing.
They stored canned food in the bathroom.
The worst is that they put an addition on and removed the foundation.”
