Top three worst places you’ve lived.

Fortunately I never lived in a complete dive or dodgy area but my ex and I sub let a room in a 3 bed top floor apt in 2001 from a couple in Milltown in Dublin 6.

The apt was quite nice and our room was big but the so called double bed was tiny and uncomfortable to sleep in and the couple we sub let off treated the place like it was theirs exclusively. Hogged the kitchen and living room and shrugged their shoulders when we asked for a bigger bed and for a broken shower in the bathroom to be fixed. He was Irish and his girlfriend was half German, half Polish. The smallest room was lived in by a really nice Spanish girl who was hardly ever there as she worked very long hours in a restaurant.

They really made us feel like 2nd class people given their behaviour - having guests over and parties when we were trying to get to sleep, loud music, leaving the kitchen in a mess for us to clean up etc. The final straw was when they overcharged us on utility bills which my then OH found out about. The girlfriend turned out to be a particularly nasty bitch.

We moved out after 5 months.
