CANNOT MAKE UP MIND

[faevii]

The flat looked ... acceptable. Not exactly pretty, but I'm sure I could make it work. Besides, the one I'm living in right now seemed absolutely awesome at first glance and turned out to be more of a nightmare. I'll take ugly-ass dark blue bathroom tiles and a kitchen without cabinets over crappy windows and odd smells any day! At least the kitchen is quite big and the bathroom a decent size.

I'm slightly worried that I might be compromising to much, though. Sixth floor, one room and no kitchen cabinets, when I could easily have two rooms for the same price?? Just because it's big and in a good location? If there was no time pressure, I wouldn't even be considering it. No idea if this is one of those situations where you need to suck it up and make do with what you can get or one of those where you need to resist the temptation of an easy solution and refuse to settle for less than you were expecting. SO CONFUSED.

This is another one of those moments I have on a regular basis, where I'm suddenly very grateful for where I was born. I know that in some other places, being unemployed or unable to work means you can't have a kitchen at all, never mind two rooms. Here? I don't think such a thing as a flat without a proper kitchen exists, at least not in this town. And I'm allowed ~50m² as long as the rent doesn't surpass a certain amount, which is more than okay for one person.

Which is why I'm now sitting here, wondering if I'm being spoiled or if a lack of kitchen cabinets and a bedroom is really reason enough to wait a little longer. :S

Also, sixth floor. What if the lift breaks?! (Note: I used to live in an even smaller town, where I don't think any of the houses were taller than three stories. LOL.)

Apartment hunting is no fun. Regardless of what you can afford in my city, there don't seem to be any decent places with good kitchens anywhere. Mine now has only a few cabinets and a half size stove, and it's more expensive than some. I chose it for the lack of weird smells or suspicious roof problems, but our windows aren't that great either. So, I dunno....

Part of the problem is I know for a fact that there are better places here, you just have to be really quick to catch them. Apparently lots of people are looking for the same thing as I am at the moment ... IDK, I've decided to give this one a try now, but whether I'll get it is another question.
