My Apartment

I am finally getting fairly settled into an apartment, but it took some doing! I had to choose between some much more basic, much less private, albeit cheaper, student-type rooms - or this! Finally decided on this. I like it quite well - it's perfect for one person and well-located. For now, here are some pictures of the apartment on moving day, pre-furniture:

The kitchen/laundry on the right:

The bathroom on the left:

The living room:


The very narrow stairway:



The 4-foot high sleeping loft:

Looking down into the living room from the loft:


Home sweet home, for now.

    Gorgeous apartment! Can you post a picture of your view? It looks like you can see quite far. Will you get much furniture?

  2. The sleeping loft reminds me of our apartment in France which also had a not-tall-enough-to-stand-up sleeping loft but was very cute! Looks like a nice place.

  3. Cute! Looks like a cool place to stay. Those stairs look a little dicey, good luck if you have to get to the bathroom at night in a groggy state. Thanks for the pictures!

  4. Is finding/moving furniture easier or harder in Korea?

  5. I'll post a picture of the apartment with furniture - and the views - soon. I learned about a "recyle furniture store" - managed to find everything (desk and desk chair, eating table and 4 chairs, sofa, coffee table, TV, TV stand, and 2 small bookcases) for under $400 - delivery included. It was amazingly easy, even with my minimal Korean. I just brought a drawing with me of everything I wanted to buy. For the sleeping loft I found a sleeping mat and blanket at the local market near my apartment - it works fine. Yeah, the stairs are a little dicey,especially when hauling things up and down, but kind of fun too, and I am careful! Thanks for your comments!
