I think I am deciding to stay here, in this apartment. I have looked around town and I like this neighborhood. It has centrality and also proximity to the water. It is quiet.
And this apartment has great light, great air and an incredible landlord. All utilities are included and my host can’t seem to stop piling on extras. Today she offered to do my laundry for free henceforth, though I’ve been happy with the nearby laundry service so I said I wouldn’t allow it.
I think I would consider buying this apartment if I could, but I’m realizing I don’t need to. I could live here for 10 years if I wanted, paying weekly rent.
Also, there are two other apartments atop this house that are often empty, so if/when I have visitors those will probably be available. Which means I don’t need a 2-bedroom place.
