Finally, a place to call home

So we have finally found an apartment! In the end, we decided to go for an already furnished apartment. The owner, Anna, is a very nice lady. She has a wonderful 1 bedroom apartment that we shall be living in for the next few years (on a sad note, Anna is leaving to move in with her mother who is getting to need full time care). But she has very good taste, very much the same style as Laura and I (well, except for maybe the ducks, apparently our landlord really likes ducks!). The kitchen is fully equipped and Anna has left a rather nice china set and silverware (I'm attempted to buy cheap'o ikea dinnerware, I think the china is pretty expensive). When she was showing the place she said, "and her is a nice china set which you can use when you have parties" which was a refreshing change from other landlords who were more like, "you're not going to have parties, are you?".

The apartment is located in the south of Munich in a suburb called Sendling. Its on the same U-bahn line that goes to the research lab (though the commute is a good hour door-to-door). Its quite close though to Laura's work, probably a 10 minute bike ride or 2 stops on the U-bahn. We moved all are boxes friday and saturday and are already for the most part unpacked.

And now that we actually have a decent place to live, everyone is officially invited to come and visit! The sofa in the living room is a pull-out sleeper. For booking arrangements, please contact lauraestes@hotmail.com ;).
