Apartment! home sweet home


We found an apartment pretty quickly. It has everything we were looking for: 3 bedrooms, almost 2 bathrooms (only a stool and sink in the second, it's enough), furnished, and convenient location. It's in old town, which is pretty cool. We have a sauna for those days when we just can't get warmed up. There's a big ceramic tiled fireplace and we buy little bundles of birch for it. The whole thing heats up and continues to radiate heat long after the fire goes out. The walls are a little bare like all new apartments. We've got more closets and drawers than some apartments we looked at. So far it's quiet; the walls are a meter thick masonry and we have double pane windows plus storm windows outside those. The door to the street locks, and there are 2 doors separated by about 16 inches, both with locks, to get into our apartment. It seems pretty secure. We'll see how it is in the summer with thousands of tourists on the streets. We are pretty happy here.
