The place where I have been lived during the quarentine.

I'm Mexican, I had lived in the same place for a long of time, but now I have been lived in Spain since six months ago. I like my apartment, It's pretty nice: It has a big living room with a lot of windows so It's very bright , I used to watch a lot outside since the windows, when I couldn't go out, during the hardest moments of the quarentine. In the living room, there are a couch, a TV, a table and sinx chairs, I spend a lot of time here because is the place of the apartment with more light and space.
My appartment is in the first floor of a building, this has five floors, but it's not to big, there are only two apartments in everyone. There are a bakery next to the building and a little supermarket in the other side. The place where I lived is actually very nice and quiet, even It has a lot of stores in my street .
After almost three difficult months, people here in Spain started to come back to the streets.

The place where I have been liveding during the quareantine.

I'm Mexican, I and hadve lived in the same place for a long of time, but as of now I have been liveding in Spain sincefor six months ago.

I like my apartment,. It's pretty nice: I; it has a big living room with a lot of windows so Iit's very bright ,. I used to watch a lot outside sincelook out the windows, a lot when I couldn't go out, during the hardest moments of the quareantine.

This could be broken up into multiple sentences in order to make it easier to read.

In the living room, there areis a couch, a TV, a table, and sinx chairs,. I spend a lot of time here because is the brightest and most spacious place ofin the apartment with more light and space.

My appartment is ion the first floor of a building, this has five floorsfive-story building, but it's not too big, because there are only two apartments in everyoneper floor.

By "in the same place", do you mean in Mexico?

I like my apartment,. It's pretty nice: It has a big living room with a lot of windows so It's very bright ,. I used to watchlook a lot outside since the windows, when I couldn't go out, during the hardest moments of the quareantine.

The word "since" in English doesn't exactly correspond to "desde" in Spanish. "Since" is a word that you use to refer to periods of time, or as a subordinating conjunction equivalent to "because".

In the living room, there areis a couch, a TV, a table and sinx chairs,. I spend a lot of time here because it's the place of the apartment with more light and spacebrightest and biggest room in the apartment.

When you have two independent clauses, they usually need to be separated by one of the following: (1) A period, (2) a comma and a coordinating conjunction, (3), a semicolon.

This is why I replaced the comma after "chairs" with a period.

My appartment is ion the first floor of a building, this. It has five floors, but it's not too big, t. There are only two apartments ion everyoneach floor.

"Everyone" written as one word can only refer to people, not things.

There areis a bakery next to the building and a little supermarket ion the other side.

The place where I lived is actually very nice and quiet, even It has. There are a lot of stores ion my street .

Is it "lived" (past tense), or are you currently living there?

After almost three difficult months, people here in Spain started to come back to the streets.

The simple past "started" indicates that you're telling a story about something that happened in the somewhat distant past that is not really connected to your current life (for example, because you don't live there anymore). If it's something that's happened recently and that is related to your present experiences, you would use the present perfect: "people here in Spain have started to come back to the streets."

Then I would phrase that part as as: "I'm Mexican. I lived in the same house for a long time"
