Back to Brooklyn!

I found a place and will be moving in May 1st! I am very excited and extremely happy to be done with the Craigslist apartment hunt. :)

Thankfully, I did not end up having to run from any crazy people, which is a plus. I did wind up going to one sketchy revolving door apartment (only one!) and a couple of definite no's, but nothing too crazy. The worst was probably the apartment where I walked up to the right floor and could breathe from all the smoke coming from the apartment. The room for rent barely fit a full size bed with maybe a foot on the side to walk on. The tiny room wouldn't have been such a terrible thing (the rent was really cheap!), but I was there maybe two minutes and left with the back of my throat burning and I continued to cough for 10-15 minutes after leaving. You'd think that the whole smoke-filled apartment situation would be included in the post. Oh well - it was just two+ hours of travel time that I can't get back - whatevs.

My new place is pretty sweet. The room is very large - there's space for a small couch on top of the bed and the closet is huge and has enough shelving to make a dresser unnecessary. There's a washer and dryer in the house (it's basically a townhouse), the living area is huge, there is a balcony, jacuzzi jets in the tubs, all stainless steel appliances, and a video intercom for the entry. Not bad, if I do say so myself. :) I'm looking forward to having summer BBQs.
