Went into the city to look at apartments today. Saw three - originally had about six planned but, first one didn't respond at the gates (so couldn't get into the place; I hear Zest is really small and poo anyway), but yeah; really hard to pick because they are all good with different flaws.

First one was a small cosy $250 a week apartment on Nelson St; pluses are it's really private, has a (rather small) balcony and lots of light and room - minuses are that it's a very small space.

Second one was on Mount St, originally $280 but said it's negotiable and I think we're getting it for $260 - it's fully furnished and bigger than the Nelson St one, but the only problem with it is that it gets no natural sunlight. It has a balcony, that looks opposite to the building that was constructed next door. Lol. So yeah. It's fully furnished also unlike the Nelson St one, bed TV whiteware the works, so pretty much that one is ready to move in as it is...and it's ultra close to university.

And the last one we looked at was one on Wellesley St, a non-negotiable $270 p/w - this one was easily the largest one, although the door to the room was a bit busted, it comes with an air-conditioning unit. The problem with this one is the price, which doesn't seem like *that* much more but considering it's also unfurnished (with some whiteware incl. and miscellaneous items) it's still...yeah

We've decided to apply for the Mount St. one - if that fails we can always go for the Wellesley St one, which has only just started showing. It was basically a toss-up between the cheapest (but furthest and smallest), the closest (but no natural light) and a good allrounder (but most expensive).
