Okey dokey. So I just had 3 people come by and look at the apartment.
This last one works at the hospital that is right across the street. She had a friend to convince her that this was the one. She has the landlady's number and I told her to call right away if she wanted it - which she said she'd do.
So to celebrate, I grabbed a Jones soda from my fridge (Fufu berry) and the message in the lid said ...
You can plan now with confidence.
Coincidence? I think not.
Now I just have to find my own place. I think I'll go with one similar to that of apt's 1-5 in the photos but with the following: 2nd floor, 2 BR, 1.5 or 2 bath, maybe a fireplace but maybe not, and hopefully with a good view. Is this too much to ask? We'll see. I'm going to look at these places again on Thursday.

what do you need two bedrooms and two baths for??? Hey, I'd take a fireplace if I were you. I was looking at #7 and it looks pretty sweet, that is if you don't plan to decorate like the sleazy bachelor that obviously lives there right now! #2 is also good, but it was the ground floor level that impressed me. #5 also turned my head, but I can't remember why.
