While the spiral staircase was cute in the other one, this looks like a much better arrangement.
Does it come furnished?
Yep, most places here come furnished or partially furnished.
Cool! Then, I'd totally go for it. Yeah, you lose out on a half month's rent, basically. The deposit at the other place _sounds_ high, until you compare it to how much you'll spend each month on rent.
Wow! That is beautiful! I would feel a little ill about losing the deposit on #1, but it sounds like that's just the cost of doing business in that rental market. It sounds like you made a great decision!
It's so cute! Great job! I definitely agree that it's better to love where you live- especially as you are spending some time alone and got to see both places.
Gorgeous!! I like this one better than the first. I think you made the right choice! You should definitely love where you live, especially for an experience like living in London.
