Apartment Hunting without Kids, part 2

As if shlepping around with 3 kids, 2 adults and a stroller wasn't test enough for this young realtor, we asked her to show us one more apartment--this time immediately across the street from where we were going to church Sunday morning.  We asked if we could see it on Sunday before church (8:30 am).

Apartment #5 (Sun AM0
We left with 3 kids about 7:30 am, long before the sun came up.  Same hour plus to get to church.  A took them to the building and left them in care of our friends, while S met the realtor at the building and got in to see the place, while A joined a bit later.

Everything Ikea.  (More on that later).  Some physical remodel as well, since it was the same kitchen-2 bedroom size we've been seeing everywhere else, but differently configured (on a diagonal).  One long balcony instead of 2 small ones, running continuously from one window to the next.  Red and black, but otherwise very well maintained & furnished without being junky.  In our price range, and right next to a church building.  But more than an hour to work for S.  And honestly, work 5 times a week vs church once sort of won.  Hard to see such a well remodeled place & not take it, but like 90% of the stuff in our price range, JTF (just too far).


Had interesting wallpaper in the entry space of the apartment:

(Totally looks like our sort of space…)
