A place to live

(view from our window)

We followed a couple more apartment leads and ended up at a 4 star hotel that someone had recommended to us as they heard that they also let out mini apartments long term. The place was nice and we were sure that it would be beyond our budget, but it was worth asking. The price for the entire month was excellent so we asked to see the room. It was in a modern apartment building on a quiet street right in the centre of the city. It’s basically one large room with a massive bed, huge windows,a wardrobe (with a safe inside), table and 2 chairs, sideboard, bedside cabinets and a really nice bathroom. It gets cleaned everyday, just like a hotel. It doesn’t have a kitchen, but it does have a coffee machine. With comida corridas on offer, who needs to cook anyway? I also found real Bran Flakes in shops here, so breakfast is sorted. No need for my brother and sister-in-law to send me food parcels here! Oh! Best thing – it has wireless internet. Yes, of course we took it and moved in the next morning before work. We opened the curtains and saw that we have a view of Pico Orizaba (the volcano) and the Cofre mountain range through the window. Can it get any better?
