Accommodation & Apartments

1. Austrian Incest Cellar

This place is quite possibly the least desired apartment in Europe.

Josef Friztl imprisoned his daughter here for 24 years. During this time the monster repeatedly raped his daughter making her pregnant 7 times! Sicko Fritzl’s trial is expected to start in autumn 2008. The last case of an Austrian psycho and a bunker was in 1945.

2. Gay Killer’s Grizzly Apartment

This apartment is today a in a posh part of London. The fact Dennis Nilsen lived here makes it worthless today. Dennis Nilsen murdered at least 15 men in 5 years. Only 3 of these victims were killed at this address but here he hid chunks of them around the apartment -- in his previous address he burnt them. He was only caught after neighbours complained of blocked drains. Britain’s worst serial killer at the time was stupid enough to try and flush human remains down the pan.

Would you want to sit on a toilet which had been used to flush human remains? No? Neither would I.

3. Stuffed Full of Stuff

You think you’re messy and maybe you are, but not like this lot. Their apartments are packed to the roof full of junk. Everything that goes in, stays in. The only thing that ever comes out of the apartment is the hoarder themselves. When a hoarder comes out it is normally only to get more “stuff”.

Often hoarders are only identified when they’re found in their apartments, sometimes weeks after their passing. Enough said.

4. Live Animals Stuffed in Apartment

Imagine a hoarder, but they’re not happy with stuff -- no, these guys hoard animals. One litter tray is revolting enough if it is not emptied, imagine 300. Animal hoarders think nothing of stuffing an apartment wall to wall with dogs and cats. An animal hoarder will keep collecting cats, dogs and other pets until they are stopped. 300 cats in an apartment? 40 dogs? What a stench!!

Would you want to stay there after that? No, me neither.

5. Growing Concern for Treehouses

There is a recent trend for treehouses, not like you had as a kid. No BIG treehouses, big enough to live in. Some of these treehouses are beautiful, luxury homes but there are very real dangers to life in the trees. Dutch Elm Disease, Honey Fungus and Fomes Butt Rot are just a few of the countless diseases that are infecting trees all over the world.

Even if you’re lucky and have a disease free tree, some idiot will start a forest fire.

6. Atomic Apartments

Yes, maybe there are pool tables, beer, girls and computer games BUT if you’re living in one of these apartments it is because your family, your home, your car and everything else you love has been melted by a thermonuclear explosion.

A nuclear holocaust probably wouldn’t put you in the mood for playing pool anyway.

7. Black and White: South Pole Apartments

Why black and white? Because you get six months of nighttime and when the six months of daylight comes everything is white How about one day and one night per year each of them lasting 6 months? No?

Average high annual temperatures are -50°F or -45°C, it is windy, there are no local shops. Hell has frozen over, it is at the South Pole.

8. Close Shaves in Brazilian Apartments

This is not what you may think! You seriously do not want to live in Rio de Janeiro.

Roadjunky tells of his experiences:

A factor of living in third world countries like Brazil is that you can’t usually trust the police. They stopped and searched me a couple of times near my apartment in Rio de Janeiro. They couldn’t figure what a foreigner would be doing so close to a favela if not to buy drugs.

Corrupt police stopping you outside your own apartment?
No. Thank. You.

9. Haunted Apartments, What a Spectracle

55 Central Park West is at first glance a wonderful Art Deco apartment building. Look past the posh outside, I dare you! This is a sinister, ectoplasm-dripping, otherworld portal, scary ass building.

Would you choose to live in a building which demonic ghouls frequent? No, thought not.

10. John Lennon’s Last Six Hits? All Here

Maybe it has been called home by stars like Judy Garland, Boris Karloff, Roberta Flack, Steve Guttenberg and Neil Sedaka but the Dakota is a nasty piece of work as far as apartments go:

The Dakota was “The Bramford” in Rosemary’s Baby and was also the location John Lennon chose to get himself assassinated. Would you like to live on the spot where John Lennon got his last 6 hits?
