Ok, so not only did we find a flat – lovely! – but because of some dear friends who are helping us into the whole situation, we are moving in TODAY! How great is that???

It’s a perfectly tiny one bedroom with a washer and drier! (which is unheard of over here) with a “fully fitted kitchen” which means it has a sink, oven, stove top, and coffee/tea maker (of course!). I’m already planning out how to rearrange the living space to maximize the (almost) floor to ceiling, gorgeous bay windows (14 ft. ceilings, too!). In our bedroom, we have lots of natural light and french doors that open out to a private garden – private meaning shared by the 8 or so tenants in our building. We have a beautiful old house (lots of curb appeal) that has been turned into different flats.
