Overworked and Underpaid

So, today Greg and I went to check out the apartment. It’s pretty badass, though kind of dirty and stinky ATM. Martin said that we can move in probably by Sept 15th. It does in fact have two living rooms, but there isn’t really much of an eating area so I think we will consider making the second living room a dining room (or at least make it able to be a dining room should we need one). One uncool thing is the bathroom is in a room off of the kitchen. I mean, there’s a proper door and everything, but after Kisarazu I’m not super stoked about that. It’s also a long run in the case of midnight toilet needs.

The really great thing about it is that we have the whole north side of the building without sharing a wall with another unit. This means that our only potentially annoying neighbors are upstairs. That’s a big potential for sucking, but I’m hoping that it will work in our favor. ALSO, because the intercom system is housed in our unit, we only pay for the electricity in the first living room and our kitchen. This is awesome. The bedrooms aren’t huge, but they’re pretty big and have a lot of closet space. The kitchen could use some work, but it’s probably more the last people not using it to it’s full potential rather than it just being bad.

I didn’t take any pictures because the last people there obviously didn’t clean up at all for the visitors and I thought it would be a bit rude. Same with measuring rooms. But here’s my gimp image editor version of the layout. (Click the thumbnail)
