Jason and I spent the majority of last Saturday looking at houses, apartments, townhomes, and condos on Saturday. Two properties were okay, but neither of them had all the amenities and/or great location that we wanted. We set up an appointment to look at one other condo on Sunday (in which Jason went solo because I had to work). This condo was in our original top 3 list of places that we wanted. Jason looked at the place and started the process on renting our condo after a whole bunch of texting back and forth between him and I (in between patient care).
We’re pretty excited about it. It’ s in Mountain View within biking distance of Google and walking distance to Castro Street (kind of like Coventry in Cleveland Heights, but 4 times bigger) and El Camino (major road with lots of restaurants, shopping, etc).
We have our own little patio that looks over the pool and a heavily wooded area (lots of redwood trees).
Our living room is huge. It also is one big room with the dining room. We also have an open kitchen. I haven’t had an open kitchen since I was living in Columbus. I really missed that.
There is a combination washer and dryer in one of the storage closets. I’m not too sure, yet, about how to use it because it has no button for “just washing” or “just drying” which would make more sense logically in my mind. We’ll see…
We can’t complain too much because we got all of the amenities that we wanted in a great area. I’m still having to treat Jason with dramamine in order to prevent him from vomiting every time we think of the price of rent here. It’s still within our price range (for California), though.
We plan on moving this Friday and Saturday (the 15th and 16th). Our address will be:
725 Mariposa Ave., #104
Mountain View, CA 94041

Congraturations! I want your washer/dryer combo. It’s precious!
