This excerpt is from a blogger who wrote about her search for an apartment. I don’t think you could find any more unadulterated feedback than this and it drives home the truism of clean apartments;
My apartment search was a lot harder than I thought that it was going
to be. The 1st place I found was Beautiful in the pictures and looked
Perfect right up until the Leasing Agent showed me the inside of the
apartment that we would be living in. It was DISGUSTING!!!!!!!!! My
face must have shown it all. The Leasing Agent asked me “Oh, is it too
small?” I said “No, the size doesn’t bother me at all it is just so
DISGUSTING, OLD and DIRTY” I then said “This is not going to work”. I
left there and called my husband crying telling him that I would rather
camp all summer than be living in that. I was upset and stressed out!
If all apartments look like this then I am Doomed! [Read the happy ending here]

Did you notice that she didn’t mention price in her blog? She discussed cleanliness, vaulted ceilings, and the view! Just goes to show that we don’t have to be a commodity if we don’t want to. 🙂
WOW, What a great observation Brent! I read the story and completely missed that, You are Right On!
I think we are all so fixated on PRICE, which is completley Apartment Comodity, we forget about the Residents Experience,whcih is the Most Important Issue
Hey, I am the writer of this post and I was surprised to see it here.
Price did matter at 1st this being a temporary situation until our is house done being built. Although as I saw apartments and what we had to choose from the price of the apartment went out the window. Cleanliness, Ammenities, safety and the view mattered most. I would rather be comfortable for the next few months than to pay somewhat less and feel un-comfortable and feel un-safe in your own home.
