Apartment Searching

It has been crazy trying to find a nice place to live down here for my budget. I've been checking craigslist every morning, calling on most of the available ones in Key Largo even-though the price range is to high... never hurts to calland ask, right?

Nice thing around here is that all the restaurants and bars are all dog friendly. People have there dogs with them at the table, on the

bar stools, etc. They even have doggy happy hours. BUT... it is incredibly hard to find a place that allows dogs to say in the apartment. I find that very bizarre. Anyway here is some pictures of a place that I went to see in Tavernir which is just south of where I live now.

Nice neighborhood, but just yuckky! The furniture was dirty, walls were cracked, tape all over the place, no stove, and just not a place I would want to go "home" too. Ste

vie and I went to see a place the day before this one that was posted in the Keys Reporter which is the local paper.... I can't believe they would show a place in such poor condition. We were given a lantern to walk through the place to even see. Wires were hanging from the ceiling, I was walking through spider-webs. I was so discouraged after that.

I did however find a place yesterday that I was lu

cky enough to hear threw word of mouth. (It's the 2 pictures at the bottom, pink house, and nice studio room) One of the instructors at Amoray said that the studio next to him would be available soon.

The outside is nice, it's clean, fenced yard, hot tub, full bathroom, nice little kitchenette. It's not in the area that I would like to be, but having a car won't make that such a big deal. Id like a place near MM 100, and this place is MM 105. Closer to work, further from friends. But this one I do see myself wanting to kick back relax and enjoy an ice cold beer. The landlord seems very flexible and willing to take some things out of

the place so I can use my own furnishings.
