Found a flat

After a solid week of checking Loquo.com and the plethora of websites attempting to help renters and rentees meet, Tessa and I have found a supercool and oh-so-hip flat. Yes it took longer than saying Peupty poopty pants but it was worth the wait. Great success! High-five. Worry not as there is plenty of space for guests and guests's guests. If you need to remember the address you can simply click on the link below and know that us finding this place is quite auspicious.

Our street is Septimania, our flat is number...you guessed it: schfifty five. Shout out to Matt's big head for sharing the movie - we knew before even entering that it had good things about it. What you say? Good things about it. Matt, your feet can stay in our flat but your head will need to stay out on the terrace.

Moving was easy as we simply moved 600 pounds of stuff down three flights of the narrowest staircase you ever saw. Want to live as our Barcelona cab driver for a second? See pic below.



Each bag weighed at least 40 pounds and represented one trip down (and up) the stairway from hell.

What is hip & super cool you ask? Come visit and see for yourself or else take the 5 cent tour below.


The flat is 3 bed / 2 bath & a loft + terrace. You will notice our kitchen is below the loft and is (read in a high pitched voice) very very tiny. But it is actually bigger in person than it looks in the picture. Also notice that our washing machine is in the kitchen. That is how they do it over here. No dryer as clothes are dried on a line. Also the way they do it.

Today we did our best to get moved in, we spent the morning at the huge market only 10 minutes by foot from our place, then we went to every broke college student's dream; IKEA. After 6 1/2 hours we were asked to pay rent for the building and instead decided to check out. We have all the candles, pillows, sheets, etc we will need for the duration of our lives. That is until next week when everything disintegrates as is known to happen with IKEA products. And now it is time to count fourteen teen Z's as its past midnight and time for bed. Hope everyone enjoys their evening as we know you like to do the sax.
