“Basically, these places fit the criteria based on the information that you’ve provided but personally, I would recommend these three places first because it’s ready for you to move in as soon as tomorrow if you need to. You did mention that you were sort of in a rush, right?” the woman said before smiling at me.
I scanned the information and photos of the three places that she mentioned, and they all looked fine. Honestly, I wasn’t picky at that point. As long as the place fit the location requirement, was decently clean, and fits within my budget, then I was fine with it.
“Can we visit these places today?” I asked.
“Of course. I can take you there. They’re all within the same area anyways based on your requirement so it shouldn’t take too long for us to cover them all,” the woman said encouragingly.
“Let’s go then, what are we waiting for?” Kat said excitedly.
Just like that, we were on our way to visit the first apartment. This one was the cheapest from the three options and was located conveniently close to a grocery store. The building was middle-sized for an apartment complex. The building seemed well maintained although it was far from new. There were many small apartment units and the building seemed to be quite packed with residents.
“Come inside,” the woman invited us into the empty studio room.
The room had a large balcony and windows that let in a lot of natural light. The flow of air seemed good too and the room size seemed perfect for one person. There was very basic furnishing such as the bed, a desk and chair, and a small closet. A door led to the adjoined bathroom.
“Do you like it?” Kat asked.
“It’s nice and simple enough,” I replied.
“I think the natural light makes the room seem homey and nice…” Kat comment.
“Let’s keep this in our back pocket for now,” I replied with a smile.
“Yes. Let’s go to the next place!” Kat announced enthusiastically.
Her level of positive energy never failed to amaze me. I wondered how lonely and sad my life would be right now if I wasn’t introduced to her and if we didn’t become friends.
The second apartment was just a short walk from the first option. The building was taller and seemed newer. This studio apartment was a little more expensive than the first option. There was an elevator in the building which helped because the unit was located on the 15th floor. Walking up would be a good exercise but if I forgot something in the room, walking up 15 floors just to get it would drive me insane. Having an elevator was probably a necessity in a building of this height.
“You’re welcomed to take a look inside,” the woman said as she gestured for us to enter.
“Wow…I like this room…” Kat murmured after taking a look inside.
