MY APARTMENT

A number of requests have been made. The first was a tour of my apartment. So here it is. It is actually much cozier and roomier than I had envisioned from the pictures posted with the placement agency in London. The ceilings are about eleven feet high which makes for a very spacious feeling. Originally this was one large apartment (like Daniele Lococo's apartment which is entered by the door directly next to the elevator, the only other apartment on this floor...she owns it). My area was divided by Vito, the owner of just these two subdivided apartments (he is from Sicily). His son Germano (I called him by the wrong name for the first two weeks!) lives in one half (he is a first year medical student) and Vito rents the other half out (mine). It is a very sunny apartment with windows in every room. There is plenty of closet and cupboard space and all the amenities I need (AC, washer, high-speed wireless internet, microwave/convection oven, range and refrigerator...and of course a bidet...it is Europe!).
