elizalavelleWell we did it, Nomi and I have an apartment! It's an awesome place and we can see the lake out of every window! We actually only ended up looking at three places to find this one.
The first one was VERY tiny. As in if you put a bed into the second bedroom it would be wall to wall bed, no room for walking, you'd have to jump onto the bed from the doorway small. Far too tiny even though they had a gas fireplace that was very spiffy.
The second place was HUGE and we quite liked the neighbourhood but the apartment itself was sort of scummy.... well a lot scummy, as in holes in the kitchen floor scummy. They were going to do renovations but they didn't have a finished product to show us. Also the method of applying for it was sort of odd.. and their incentive was getting a free iPod and we all know that I do not want one of those lol.
Then we saw our third place which is a little bit smaller than the second one was. It's all freshly painted white but we're allowed to repaint as long as we keep the colours light, we're going to just paint the bedrooms though I think so it's not a huge project. It was just one of those places you walk into and just know that it's right. We didn't even go to the rest of our appointments after finding our apartment.
All in all it was a very short apartment hunt in comparison to what I've seen friends go through to find a place here. I like the apartment, it's still a little too far out of the city for me to contemplate spending years and years there but the neighbourhood rocks and we have lots of stores and the TTC really close by. So for all of you in TO (or who come to TO often) you will be visiting :D We're really easy to find and we'll have a very comfy couch for overnight visitors as soon as I get myself a bed. Plus we will have one massive and awesome collection of movies since Nomi and I are both DVD buying addicts (the spoils of this weekend alone were amusing and I'm still tempted to buy that 4400 show since I keep hearing good things about it.)
