On the house hunt - Part IV

Another set of viewings came and went.  this was much nicer than the last one we had gone to.

The description of the place was that it was going to be a little bit of a mess, but we were instructed to take a look and see if we liked it.  We got there, and I swear we could have smelled the place down the hallway.

It was a loft space in cabbagetown.  The location was great and the space would have been very nice, but seeing that my feet were sticking to the lamenent floor that was compaired to the state of the floor after a "rave" it was disgusting.  I won't even go into the state of the bathroom in this place.  We definitely didn't get that place.

We saw a couple of other places last night, and those went way better.  It is quite a feeling to know that the place has been taken care of and that it is clean.  It makes it much easier to picture your life in a new space when it is clean and ready to go.  It also makes a difference when the person showing you the home is interested in you as a person, as oppose to the money maker who will pay for their mortgage.

With that in mind, we still have to remember that we cannot compromise the things that we need for aesthetic appearance.  The places we saw had quite a bit of thought and organization to it.  Although they looked great, they didn't satisfy the core things we need.  At this moment we have to make sure that we get what we want, because we are going to be in this space for the next bit of time, and we want to make sure we enjoy!

The hunt continues and we are excited to get the place for us.
