I mentioned on the "how to read" page that I lived in one of the many historic districts in Ann Arbor. This is the picture of my apartment. Looks nice, ha? I love this apartment although there is no access to kitchen and we have to share 2 bathrooms with 9 people...
Why do I love this APT? Because the building is quaint, the room is not too big (I love small spaces), the landlords (they are brothers) are very nice, and the rent is cheap! (Whenever I answer my friends' question "How much is your rent?" their eyes pop out with astonishment ;) )
Well... when I was trying to find a place to live, I was only focusing on the price and the distance from the place to the school: I am spending my parents' money, so I need to save money as much as I can. I, in a fashion, wondered if I could live without kitchen, but decided to go for it because this APT was perfect in terms of the price and the distance. Now, I think my decision was right. Indeed it is hard to cook and do the dish with the tiny small sink in the bathroom, but I can still cook with my slow cooker and microwave. Most importantly, I have enjoyed the life in this historic district! Unlike a condo in a big city, this old building let me feel like time crawls along. I could have a quiet neighborhood, lovely nature around the building, and the hearty landlords, who are easy to approach (and do maintenance well). What else do I want?
Sadly, I need to move out from here soon because I am graduating in this Dec. and they only accept 1-year contract beginning from Sep... I am, however, glad that I have lived this APT :)
