That apartment.

[icarus]

You know, we're not sure we want this apartment.

- It's too dark. This is Seattle, it's grey, and we need light.

- It's ground floor so we'd have to keep the curtains shut since WG walks around naked all the time, so it would really be dark.

- WG is concerned about noise. The laundry room is right across the hall, and it's ground level, so he's concerned about street level noise as well.

- We both think our friends won't like how dark the place is and wouldn't want to spend time there, which negates one of the points of getting a new place.

It's a nice place, good location, but most apartments in Seattle have a better light situation, and that's important to us.

I think we've decided to call them and say no, we don't want it.

We've decided that while we want a lot, the two things we can't compromise on are:

1) light (we've said for months that we don't want any apartments on the north side of a building, but even with western exposure, light is the point) and

2) space, because that's the whole reason we're moving.
