So Tuesday was our big day to go apartment hunting with our
relocation specialist, Juanita. She picked us up first thing in the morning and
we saw 8 different apartments! It was exhausting! We were rushing through so
many places, I forgot to take pictures of each of them but we quickly realized
that the property management companies must have great marketing teams because
the pictures of these places we had seen online were very…um, generous…compared
to what they actually look like in person!
Even though we had a strict budget set before we came, we
did end up going over just slightly because our expectations were not at all
realistic—go figure!
We narrowed it down to 2 places…one in the center of the
city and one over on the harbor. We struggled all day because both had pros and
cons, but we ended up choosing the one on the harbor because Juanita informed
us that it was definitely a nicer, safer part of town. (Just as a
comparison…the other one we liked was on the 28th floor of a high
rise with incredible views, but it was right across the street from two strip
clubs and a run-down hostel…not quite the neighbors we were hoping to meet!)
After putting in applications for both, we finally got the
price we wanted for the place in Lighter Quay and should be able to move in
next Monday!
I will definitely be posting more apartment pictures and
info once we get moved in!
Cheers!
