Pearl Works, Sheffield

I stayed here for a few months - a few months too long. As soon as I arrived and was showed my room, some things in my room were broken. The window was stuck closed, and it was never fixed so during warm days it was very very hot. The room didn't look dirty at first, but after moving in I noticed that the place was really dirty and dusty, and the carpet hadn't been cleaned because there are long black hairs covering it. I was shown the basement, which is absolutely filthy and smells completely disgusting. There's been vomit dried onto the front door to the building since before I arrived, and still untouched. I put out air fresheners to combat the smell in the communal areas but other residents smashed them up. A few doors down from me there was a stoner, so the entire floor smelled of cannabis the whole time. Next to me is a neighbour playing music all day and night. No cold water comes out of the taps; always warm, and the shower doesn't get hot either, just slightly warmer than the "cold" water. Every few weeks I got an email saying that someone was coming to look around my room as a potential buyer and I was never asked if I was ok with this. In terms of location, it shares the building with Tesco, which is handy, but you can hear everything that happens in there all day and night, including rolling heavy trolleys full of stock after midnight, and constant beeping every few seconds that I've had to live through for the past few months. The place seems cheap, modern, clean and well-managed, but it's an absolute nightmare. I've seen cheaper places that are much nicer than this. Avoid at all costs.
