My Apartment

So, I am staying in an apartment by myself. I wasn't set on having my own apartment, but I am enjoying it. It's actually a fairly large apartment for one person! I'll give you a mini tour...



That's the front door on the left. This picture is taken from roughly the bedroom door. Turn around, here's the bedroom.



This apartment has double beds. It's actually not so unusual for people to share a bedroom in an apartment in Italy, but to me this is more like a hotel room. There's a little balcony behind those double door windows.



There on the right is the huge wardrobe. I can barely reach the top hanging bar. The thing is about 10 feet wide and 7 feet tall, and 2 feet deep. I need to unlame and take the last few things out of my suitcase and shove it in the wardrobe.

On to the dining room kitchen.



Here's the dining part of the kitchen. I am thinking about putting that small table on the right in the entrance area, so I have somewhere to sort of naturally drop things when I get home. It doesn't do much there.

There are 8 chairs in my apartment, 7 of which are in the kitchen...



Here's the kitchen part. Sink on the right, dishwasher, gas oven and stove, that first tall door is the refrigerator, and the storage space. There is a second fridge/freezer all the way on the left, out of the frame, but I don't have it turned on since I can't fill up the one I already have!



My bathroom is a weird shape. I can just touch the two walls, but it's really long. All the way in the back is the toilet area, with the washing machine. Most apartments in Italy have a washing machine. No dryer. You wash your clothes and hang them to dry. I am not sure I have ever seen a laundromat in Italy. They must exist for tourists somewhere. Anyway, this part of the bathroom is up a step. Next is the sink and vanity area. Lots of cabinets. The hamper is parked in this area. The towel rack is nearby. And then in the beginning of the bathroom, the bathtub!



The tub is actually long enough and deep enough to enjoy. There's a shower head, too. Here's the weird part though... there's no shower curtain, no place to put one, not even one of those glass divider shields that are very common in Italy. So I have to be very careful when taking a shower not to splash too much. If I owned the apartment, I would install a bar that turned the corner to hang a shower curtain on.

So that's the place.
