We spent 2 or 3 weeks in May searching for apartments around the city and surrounding suburbs. We knew we could get a lot more for what we were paying in Calasanaz. We had a few requirements: close to the Kingdom Hall, cheaper rent than what we were paying in Calazanas, and a quiet safe area. The city is economically divided by stratas (or zones), level 1-6, with 1 being the cheapest for utilities and 6 being the most expensive.
It was pretty amazing how we found this place. After weeks and weeks of looking, we found several "winners" that we had brought to the point of signing the documents until a brother or sister warned us about something in the area. It was a very very frustrating process, but finally we ended up in an area that more than fit our needs!
Here's some shots of the place so you'll know what to expect when you come visit!
P.S. I wrote this post in June, but haven't posted it until now, October. I'll try to get an update with our little furnishing and stuff (or not)
Here's some shots of the place so you'll know what to expect when you come visit!
Living room
View Down the Hall to the bedrooms
Dining room/Kitchen / Don & Linda
Finally! Fresh air and trees!
We even have little birds and parrots in the trees in the morning. We had them trained for a while to eat our bananas that were going bad.
Kitchen: It's small, but it has all we need and more!
Guest Bedroom: Bienvenidos!
Master Bedroom
Master Bath
Rest of the Master Bedroom (Has since been decorated up). We made some Roman Curtains to homie it up a little.
And it has a pool!!! These are good for cooling off after the long service days.
The view of the city at night is really pretty and mesmerizing.
