dump / shithole / hole in the wall
If I lived in a crappy place, I'd most likely refer to it as a "dump," which implies that it's low-quality, dirty or run-down.
A less polite way of phrasing it would be "shithole", but this is also commonly used.
Another option would be "hole in the wall", which implies more that it's a very small place but not necessarily a low-quality place.
