A home that I visited but definitely would not want to live in is this

serviced apartment
that I actually lived in a few years ago.

If my memory serves my right, I lived there around 3-4 years ago, when my house was under renovation. I only lived there for barely a month but the

vibe
there was so weird that I still have chills down my spine whenever I think about it.

In all fairness, it was actually a beautiful place. It is a

duplex
located in a
skyscraper
right in the center of D1. The apartment is very
spacious
, with a fancy master bedroom that has a view over Saigon’s
financial district
. And if I’m being honest, I really adored the fully equipped kitchen, with a marble island which doubles as a bar. But even with all the
extravagance
, I would not like to spend another night there.

One thing that felt really off about the place was the

lighting
. In some parts of the place, particularly the
corridor
from the bedroom to the bathroom, the lighting is
ambient
, but not the
cozy
kind, but the kind that feels very
hazy and otherworldly
. Sometimes during the night when I go to the bathroom, the lighting would make the corridor seem longer than it actually is, and I keep feeling like there was someone, or something waiting for me at the other end of the corridor.

In contrast, in some other rooms, like the laundry room and storage room, they were lit by

fluorescent bulbs
, which were not only out of place, but also felt very
cold and lifeless
. The pipes in the laundry room also emit this
whirring sound
, and when I do my laundry late at night, it sounded almost identical to the sound of someone with
asthma
.

I felt so relieved the day I got to move out of that place. Even though nothing scary actually happened, I still just can’t shake this feeling that something

sinister
happened, or even, was happening there.
