Our Living Quarters for the next month

The outside of the apartment building is rough looking - it was government owned years ago until Russia decided to sell some of the apartments to the people.



The entrance to our hallways -- it is a huge steel door that is opened only with a key card . . . we feel very safe.



We go up five floors (elevator is usable, but kind of creepy). We have to enter through a heavy wooden door that is about 2 inches thick. We use a skeleton key and than have a huge steel bolt once we're inside. This hall leads straight to the bathroom -- to the left is the kitchen and living room. To the right at the end of the hall is our room & a tub room with a wash machine (sounds as if there's a jet taking off when it's running, but it works great) To the left of the bathroom is Hailee's room.



The kitchen is cozy -- enough room for a small table, 3 chairs, fridge, small stove and a high chair. It is old, but each day we feel better and better about using it, although, I can't imagine us doing any baking in the stove.



And finally our living room. It's really modern, the couches are amazingly comfortable -- we've got the Hallmark channel and a couple other choices, but enough movies with us to last at least 6 months. The apartment was a good choice, if the internet worked it would be perfect!
