Our apartment;
I received a few questions about what our apartment is like so I will endeavor to describe it. To get into the apartment you have to pass through three doors. The first one is on street level and is an enormous double door. Thru this door is a wood floor hallway leading to the back of the building. The second door is in the back of the building. It is brown door with amber glass. Our apartment is on the second floor off a spiral staircase. When you enter our apartment there is a hallway with the kitchen immediately to the left.
The kitchen is a little small, but it is functional. There is a stove/oven, a double sink, refrigerator, and a washing machine. There is a table with chairs, and just enough storage space. There is a nice tall window in the kitchen that looks out on to the paved yard. Continuing down the hall and to the left of the kitchen is our bedroom.
The bedroom is much smaller then our last one, and the bed is smaller then our queen size one back home. In the room there is also a closet, and a bureau. There is window with a tree right outside, with a birds nest. The walls of the room are covered with blue wallpaper. Directly across from our room is the living room.
The living room is a good size with lots of light. There is a couch, two chairs, and a coffee table. There is a large cabinet for books and small items. The TV is on a short, long stand that also has a DVD player on it. There are two doors in the living room on either side of the TV. The left side door leads to Simon’s (our roommate) room. The door to the right is the bathroom. The two large windows look out to the street.
The bathroom has no tub. There is a drain on the floor that the shower water flows in to. There is a curtain to keep the water contained, but the floor stays flat. There is no flusher on the toilet, instead there is a button on the top of the tank. To get in to the bathroom, you have to step up. This is because there is radiant heating beneath the tiled floor all through the bathroom.
There is hardwood flooring throughout the apartment except for tile in the bathroom and carpet in Simon’s room. There are high ceilings and lamps on every windowsill. There are posters of flowers throughout the apartment and old iron stove in the corner of the living room. When we have a moment, we will post photos of the apartment for you to see.
