A couple pictures from the new apartment...

So, through the magic of craigslist, Naomi and I found a Berlin couple to do an apartment swap with. I just met them today (Laura and Julian). They were nice, and the vibe from them was really good. The apartment is a little further out from the center of the city, but the neighborhood seems very nice, and we're close to some very convenient S-Bahn and U-Bahn stations.

Here are a couple pictures of the apartment, which I'll move into on Tuesday. It's huge.




So yeah, we'll have a little courtyard balcony. There's also a rooftop terrace where people seem to do grilling.

And here's the funny part: they told me that this a 'low-income' building. It's beautiful and clean and recently renovated. And there doesn't seem to be any stigma about living in a low-income building. These Germans are so crazy...
