Beyond inappropriate tile

So last week we looked at a place that went beyond the inappropriate tile. The building was nice, it had been recently redone - roof and all - and it looked okay on paper. Before we went in, we were warned by the seller's realtor that we should:

a) ignore the mess
b) ignore the woman in the suite.

Apparently she is very unfriendly and they had spoken to her a few times about being civil to the people looking at the place.

So we thought maybe she was a tenant and was worried that she might have to leave if her place sold, but the realtor told us, no, she was actually the one selling the place.

Anyway, it was a total disaster, there were some very strange features, the lady was most unfriendly, but the best part was the flooring. Even better than the place was completely tiled, this place had no floors at all. Gone. Right down to the concrete. Needless to say, we had vetoed it before we got past the foyer.

Inappropriate tiling

Oh my...we looked at an apartment yesterday that looked okay in the pictures...but we got there and the entire thing was tiled. Even the bedrooms. Brrrr...way too cold for my liking. The lady asked me if I liked the tiles and I said I found them too cold and she got all defensive about how warm the building is!

Sigh...
