Apartment search is over!
We went and looked at the place on Friday night and it's just huge! It needs some work (paint and a few touches here and there), but for the money we couldn't have gotten a better place. Also, it's owned by the mother of one of Steve's friends and she loves Steve and is happy that she's renting to someone responsible who won't trash the place. The neighbours are apparently very nice too. We're right across the street from the park and have a big balcony in front and a deck in back. The kitchen has a built-in dishwasher which we may arrange to buy from the current tenants. They're moving to Vancouver, so they may not want to lug their appliances cross-country. There's also storage space in the basement. It's like a house!! We may be able to arrange to have a wall knocked down as well between the livingroom and the bedroom next to it to make a large livingroom/diningroom.
