Getting settled

After two weeks in temporary housing we are in our new flat.  So far the hardest part of getting settled here has been finding a place to live.   We found out the hard way that the market here moves very quickly and you have to act fast when you find something you want.  We had a one-day home search with an agent who took us to look at 12 properties and we ended up putting offers in on 4 of our top choices, all of which had already been taken earlier that day.  Whilst the search day did not result in a treasured flat, after a couple more nights of looking after work, we found our new flat in Holland Park.  Flat 6, a 500 square foot gem, located just minutes from the tube with a view of the local private tennis club and green space out back. 


The big window lets in a lot of light which brightens up the whole room.
Kitchen includes a dorm sized refrigerator and a washer/dryer combo
but no dishwasher :(
Look at all that storage... I was sold on this place when I saw the closet.
