Apartment #1

Once we decided that we were going to be moving here the next step was to find a place to live.  Around the same time we learned one of Jeff's co-workers was leaving the country and offered her apartment to us.  Jeff went over there and took a few pictures for me as I couldn't be there to see the place in person. 

The pros:
close to Jeff's office
close to the mall (that has a grocery store)
close to the metro station
close to the beach
you could see the sea from the balcony
it had a balcony

The cons:
no community amenities (gym, pool, etc)
3rd bedroom didn't have an outside window
we would have to purchase most of our own appliances (common here even as a renter)
no closets (common here also)

Here are some pictures so you can judge for yourself.
