The flat

One bedroom with a double bed and a wardrobe ( no built-in closet).  The building must be old.  A small bathroom with an open shower, and heated towel rack which is amazing!

Open living room and kitchen.

The apartment was advertised as a furnished apartment, but the furnishing contained of three things.  A bed, a wardrobe and a neon green loveseat.

The lime green love seat.
A neon szinu zold kis ulodolog.  Garnituranak igen csak nem nevezhetem.

The kitchen has a bar area without bar stools. No cups, plates or utensils.

Where are you, my favorite Goodwill?

It had to be IKEA.

First week I'd been there four times.  Only 45 minutes walking.  Good exercise.  I know my friend Sonia would be very proud of me.

We got two barstools, a coffee table, side table and an area rug, and it feels soo much homier already.

A box of a microwave serves as side table.

After IKEA
Az IKEA-ban vasaroltunk egy par olcso dolgot.

In the building there are no mailboxes.  When the mail man comes, he drops the envelopes in the stairwell through the mail slot.  After that the first person coming in or out of the building brings it up to the landing and from here it is self served.

Mailboxes or the lack of it.
Ez itt a lakok "postaladaja", vagyis olyan nincs es csak leteszik a foldre a leveleket.

The apartment is in the middle of the city.  Walking street, can't even drive to the house.  The furniture we got had to be carried from another street.

Very close to the famous castle, shopping centers, restaurants, and bars,

Our street, from the Castle.  The building is the one with the first Welsh flag.

I wanted to have a Welcome sign for the front door.  Had to find cheap material because I won't be able to take it home.  I had cardboard boxes so that's what I used.  Previously we bought some ready mixed grout to fix the bathroom a couple of places, and I used that paste on the cardboard to make the background a bit more interesting.

Thank you for checking back with me, next time I'll try to show you the kitchen.

Cheers!
