1. small 2-room loft very close to work
+ cheap EUR210/mo + ~90 heiz + uzw => ~350EUR inkl.
+ my own place
+ all white, very bright with 3 big double-paned opening windows (parallel to roof)
+ can do anything I want to the place because he is renting it unrenovated
+ laundry room in basement
+ don't think there is any problem with having a dog - all linoleum floors
+ across street from playground/park with trees
+ near kino, burgerpark, ethnic grocers, kebab shop (yum)
but
- not a stick of furniture, no appliances, not even a kitchen sink
- 8 narrow flights of stairs to 4th floor
- car-oriented area - near busy intersection, probably too noisy to have window open all the time
2. big shared loft in St. Johannermarkt
+ fantastic area, all pedestrian, very lively, but in quite corner away from main plaza
+ had fun over glass of wine with roomie, liked her at first meeting
+ huge room, east facing window (+ west-facing window across hall if door open)
+ new washmachine, about to have complete new kitchen, only need to furnish my own room
+ own washroom/shower, very long hall to entry, then living room/kitchen, other bedroom at far end => private
+ west-facing terrace in back of buildings, very private
- roomie is paying for all upgrades to her new apartment, and considers she is more entitled to space generally
- bit expensive maybe - 400EUR inkl. (but less than half lease, because she has better accommodation with sauna
- not my own place, would feel like I'm renting a room in someone else's home, her furniture in main room, etc
- roomie is young professional 25 (but not a party animal apparently)
The criteria:
- solitude
- light
- quiet
- ownership
Still tough - really wish I could find a single apartment in St. Johannesmarkt, or at least quieter street than #1. Need to use genetic manipulation to combine #1 and #2. Solution: call another one ... ah, Nauwieserviertel! That's near St. Johannesmarkt!
