We found a flat!

Well, we of course made this huge fuss about housing in Dublin, and found a place our second day here. But hey, it was a lot of work! I slept horribly last night and woke up at 1 AM (Jet lag, ack!) so I decided to search for an apartment some more. Dublin 2, which is the most central region of Dublin (see photos for comparison!), had a new listing for a studio. I immediately texted (sorry John, my new landlord!). The next day I texted again and received word about the showing at 2pm. About 12pm I crashed and fell asleep.... but I woke up at 1:40 freaking out that we would be late! Blame that on Claudio, who says he didn't want to disturb me. We hopped on a bus, rode down to south Dublin two, and arrived at 2:01pm. In line behind 5 other people. 


I'm sure this motivated us a bit, as we waited patiently for the flat viewing and then walked up to the fourth and top floor, up four flights of stairs, to see this 50ft2 apartment! Because of the demand and the fact that it was in our original budget, and we could learn to live in a shoebox... we immediately said that we would take it! 

Here's some of the ad photos for our new flat!

Our building. Top right window is ours now!!

Our apartmment has a set of 3 drawers instead of an armoir

Instead of a bookshelf, we have a small couch and a coffee table

You have no idea how small this bathroom is!


Like I said, drawer instead of armoir and a couch instead of a bookshelf



We're so excited to move in tomorrow!
