Well the story goes that I'm not in the permanent apartment yet in Strasbourg - instead I'm staying at a place called 'Les Citadines', which basically reminds me of a bad freshman dorm.
Don't get me wrong, it's OK for a couple of weeks, but much longer than that I would have to get high maintenance. Total size is 35 square meters (that's about 350 square feet) - so it's not a McMansion, but once you get used to it, it's not so bad.Even in this place, I like a couple of European features that I need to think about for a future house - namely, the individual heater in the bathroom, seperate water closet, and simple kitchen off the bedroom. I'm actually getting used to the idea of having a refrigerator the size of the one I had in college.
