Not much on the outside

DESGUINLEI 178 . Someone suggested July might be a better time to apartment shop in Antwerp than August.. Someone possibly lied.. But regardless, I scrapped my London plans and headed to Belgium to go apartment hunting.

A coworker shuttled me around to a list of about twelve places.. Most of them were awful.. I asked if he thought I was being too picky, and he assured me I wasn't..

On my final day of searching, I looked at two very small apartments.. Both had the bathroom down a half a flight of stairs and separated from the apartment. And, I almost took one of them.

Before saying yes, I wanted to see the last apartment on my list.. Wow!. I was glad I did.. The outside didn't look like much, so I had no idea of the treasure that was hidden there.. The double doorway lead into a foyer.. To the right was an elevated dining room.. Ahead was a newly finished kitchen and bathroom.. Behind them were two connected bedrooms.. That was enough space for me..

But, there was more!. My jaw dropped when I saw the living room on the other side of the dining room.. It was huge. Yes, it was more expensive than I wanted, but there was no way to let this by after the other places I'd seen.. I was housed, thrilled, and so glad I had skipped the London theater to come to Antwerp.

I lived on Desguinlei for two years. Then, I bought my own huis sweet huis.
