It was the second one we looked at. It is amazing. It is huge and has an extra bedroom. It is open and bright and airy and it is i an area of the city that is pretty much always sunny. we all liked it but it did have its flaws. Lisa is a biker - she rides all over the city - and this place is pretty far off the beaten path. It is great for bus lines (the 48 to the mission, the 15 to downtown, and the 22 to missiona dn lower haight all run right by there) so for me it will be cool. The area is a bit indutrial and not so developed. There is a coffee house caddy corner to the apartment. There is a really cute cafe that is bumpin' on the weekends just a block down. The place has a cute deck and a beautifyl little yard that yo uhave to shimmy down this weird ladder to get to. The guy also gave us the weekend we wanted t move in so we would have a move in date of 9/23. This way I can get this all doen before I got to Boston at the end of the month.
So we have all these pros and cons. If we take it, first off - no more apartment hunting. CL was quite sparse this whole month so we are a little terrified abotuwht is out there. We got offered it right off the bat and there were other people applying. We have to let him know by this evening though, pretty much. The only huge con is its location. It is in our price range, it is huge, the kitchen is updated, there isn't a dishwasher which does suck, but it is dealable. We have to make a decision. Ugh.
Yesterday, after seeing the place and going into a major tailspn abotu having to make a decision, we decided we needed to go do some drinking to help us get a little less stressed. It made for an interesting saturday afternoon, i will tell you that. But it didn;t get us any closer to a decision, really. Allison and Lisa went back over there this mornign and walked around a little so they thoguht some more about it. We'll have to have a little phone cnference this fternoona dn figure shit out. I think I am kinda atthe point of not caring all too much. Whatever happens happens and we'll end up somewhere. I just kinda want to know where.
