Looking for a place to rent

Yes it's time again to look for a place to stay. Just the two of us. I thought it would be a breeze since I had seen more than 20 places in London. But I was wrong. Given a really tight budget. The only flat we could afford starts at 200 euros a month. You couldn't find anything cheaper than this really. And after two weeks of fruitless attempts, we settled on one. We were so happy to find one till we spent a night at that place that dashed our hopes.
I've included some photos of this piece of crap that the stinky houseowner rented to us for 200 euros (bills exclusive). Next time, we will (1) go for a smaller place, (2) something that costs a little more, (3) watch out for any mouldy flats, (4) avoid sleazy looking houseowners who couldn't be bothered to tidy their backyard (or junkyard).
Enough of complaints. We are moving out after a month and hope the next good one will come soon.

Humongous radiator that doesn't even heat up a one metre radius.
