Apartment Hunting

Apartment hunting can be exciting: a new neighborhood, new living space, a new kitchen. ;) It is the opportunity to choose on a (very) basic level how and where you will be interacting with your new community. To choose what our new "home" will be for the next few months.

But let's not pretend it is not a lot of work. So many options to wade through (there are WAY more places available than people who are looking to rent here), and decisions to make. Do we stay in the Albayzin (which is gorgeous, quiet, a bit pricey and only has 3 roads that are cycle-able)? Can we find somewhere in el Centro (obviously extremely central, but not a lot of housing options, reasonably priced but likely noisy)? Do we choose somewhere in Realejo (upper part of "Centro" on this map, really the best neighborhood but options are either cheap and tiny, or really nice but pricey)?

We are thankful to have friends who are willing to host us while we sort through it all and lucky that here you don't have to make snap decisions about housing (in Vic or Vancouver, if you like it you take it or 10 minutes later someone else will have).

No decision yet, although we are kind of holding out for a medium option in Realejo if we can find it...

Happy Thanksgiving and goodnight!

Peace,
