This is kind of a rip-off of tooz' thread except instead of being about cities, it's about the house/apartment/townhouse/flat/dorm/pad/flophouse/bathroom stall/subway tunnel/isolated cabin you live in.
Do you like your place? Do you hate it? Why?
Here's mine:
I love my place. I rent a single occupancy in the basement of a big three story house in downtown Harrisonburg. The house must be about a hundred years old and teeters on the edge of stupendous decay. My living room is above ground and gets a lot of sunlight, but the ground rises such that as each room follows the other (my place is kind of a four room tunnel), the rooms become less and less lit by sunlight. The more underground rooms (my bedroom and bathroom) are next to the furnace room and are quite warm in the winter. The living room is drafty. The sink and roof are prone to leaks, and the walls have knicks and scrapes in them, but I've cleaned up the place nicely with paint, wood furniture, plants, posters and lamps.
The rental company sucks. They're hiking my rent for the next lease, but they don't hire enough repairmen to get things fixed when you need them to be. You have to harass them before someone comes.
I'll post some pictures later when I get a chance.
