first day of apartment hunting

Started the first day, of what I forsee as a long week of apartment hunting today.

We looked at four apartments in Brooklyn today with no luck.

Apt 1. Not a great location. Not great for a share. Poor use of space.

Apt 2. Not a great location- too commercial.

Apt 3. Nice feel. Very nice, dark red wood floors. New paint. Nice skylight. TOO SMALL!!

Apt 4. Not a great location. Poor design and use of space.

The good news is that I was pleasantly surprised at how much I like Brooklyn, especially Park Slope, Carroll Garden, Brooklyn Heights, etc. There’s a lively atmosphere with cute restaurants, shops, and bars. There is a nice park nearby. Overall, it seemed clean, safe, and fun. Moreover, there are amazing tree lined streets with gorgeous brownstones . . .I would be a very happy woman if I could find a decently priced apartment there.

The evening was fun. Met up with an old friend and her boyfriend for tapas. After the boyfriend went home, it was a relaxing girls’ night. Enjoyed some drinks and talked about love, life, relationships, etc. Girlfriends are wonderful.
