The appartment is almost ours. We’ve chosen the 7th floor (the building has got 8 floors) facing the south-west. We know, it’s hot in summer. But the south east option had just 1 bathroom and faces the other building, not our campus. Maybe we’ll regret this. Maybe not. It has A/C and heating in every room, and comes with a parking space and a storage room of about 80 sq ft. The appartment itself has 750 sq ft, and there are 2 built in closets. Both bathrooms are fully equiped, the one in the master bedroom with a large shower and the other one with bath tube. We’ve already got a Nespresso machine, this one:
Eric’s parents gave us their sofas (2 pretty blue ones) a brand new bed they have at their house in Xàbia and used only twice and by Eric a few lamps and a bunch of kitchen utensils. Also from his family we’re getting a TV, microwave, iron & board and a lot of money. His parents are also paying for the washing machine. My parents have bought us a fridge, this one:
But Titanium-finished. We feel luxurious not having a white fridge. Call us lame.Also, we’re getting all sheets, pillows, towels, tablecloth, etc from my parents (we already bought some!) and the glassware (we got Bohemian glass!!) and from my grandma’s house we’ve got some really pretty white breakfast mugs, many many serving dishes, jars, snack bowls, etc, good kives (kitchen and table), some vintage dishes and a few other things I can’t remember now despite the fact we spent a whole morning wrapping up things in newspapers.Here are some of them:
We expect to have all the paperwork done by tuesday and get the contract signed and the keys by May 23rd. Cross you fingers!
