Our apartment is lovely. Below are some views from our living room.
Its about a 10 min walk from the train station and the train has me into the city within 20 min. Its actually an easier commute than I had in DC. The layout is different than any other apartment that I have ever lived in. I think this may have been a house that was gutted and set up as 4 apartments. When you come into the apartment, you walk up the stairs and on the right is a door leading to the main hallway. Off of this hallway there are 2 bedrooms, one bath (the other is an ensuite) and at the end of the hall is the living room kitchen. Everything is great. My only complaint is that I believe I have now encountered the worlds smallest washer/dryer. It is one machine, a washer/dryer combo, and it can only was about 4 kg of clothes at a time. 4 kg= 3 –5 shirts, some socks, underwear, maybe a pair of pants. So, it’s a slow process, but it’s a step up from having to put quarters in the machine.
I made Pumpkin Pie not too long ago for Kev and friends to try. Everyone's first reaction is something along the lines of "Pumpkin Pie? Why would you eat that?! Thats disgusting!" but none of them have tried it. So far, Sarah and Shay liked it, their kids didn't and Kev doesn't. But my thanks to mom for sending the pie stuff over!
