Kitchen 3 meters above my head. Hallway The hallway is quite dark at night. Living room Too bad I don't want the light hanging below this point. Pictures of the apartment will come along in a week or so, once I have washed and put away all my dishes, removed empty boxes […] I have to say that my decision to not take any of the apartments that I saw in June was a good one: In retrospect the area I was targeting was gay, but not diverse. It wasn’t until I settled into Kreuzberg that I realized that there were better parts of Berlin—places where there were […] I have news, of sorts, concerning my apartment search. I’m going to move soon. I haven’t seen the contract yet and I haven’t paid my deposit yet, but in theory, on Thursday, I will take possession of an apartment here in Berlin.
