Home sweet home...

Here's what you get for $330/week in downtown Melbourne- all 380 sq. ft. of it! The outside of our building- remember, our place is near the top.

The door opens into the kitchen. Although it's not nearly as large as our kitchen at home, it does have granite counter tops and floors! It also has stainless steel appliances, with the exception of the fridge that we bought. On the other side of the kitchen is a large set of cupboards for my washing machine and cleaning supplies.

From the kitchen, we get to the dining room/living room/office. I guess it's like one of those great rooms, only a whole lot smaller, and really not that great. You may have noticed above that I mentioned a washing machine, but not a dryer. Because of cost and space, we only bought a washing machine, which means that I have to hang the clothes to dry (see the drying rack). The dining area, which is behind me so not in the picture, consists of two chairs. We don't have a table yet, because I picked out a little fold-down table that hangs on the wall (not taking up much space) before finding out that we aren't supposed to hang anything in our apartment. Until we figure out what to do, we've been eating on the couch.
