Housing!

I'm excited to share with you that I've found an apartment which I hope to move into next week!

It's a very basic studio apartment, about 10 min. bike ride south of the town of Puerto Viejo, but close to the beach and quite close to the Alternative Missions property. Previous interns and AM staff have stayed here... apparently it's quite safe, and it includes wireless internet access, which I'm excited about! There are just two apartments on the property, plus the landlord's house. The tenant next door is an American writer, and seems nice.

The reason I can't move in just yet is that the landlord needs to fix a few things inside, including the shower and a window screen. It should be ready by early next week, but I will be patient if it's not. Once I move in, I want to repaint the walls and fix a few things up in the apartment, add some furniture, install a fan or two. But overall I'm quite pleased with it, and the price is within budget!

The yard, with a little shared outdoor area for reading, relaxing...

My apartment

Need to add some more closet/storage space

Kitchen/dining room/desk/living room all in one!
