About the rejects

We never actually looked at the first flat (as seen on the post from Thursday). We called the woman on Friday morning to give her the bad news. After making all of our phone calls on Thursday, we decided to take the tube to all of our prospective areas just to scope things out. This one was in a residential area and was far from the tube. We literally walked off the platform, looked around, and walked back to the platform.

The second flat was in a questionable neighborhood that I would not have been proud to show my parents and about two miles from the tube. It was sandwiched between a mosque and a suite of Polish girls which sounds exciting (and it was) but it was also a little run down and very inconvenient. The neighborhood also had a lot of "unisex" hair salons, which is cool, I guess. We haven't actually called the landlord back (his name is Vallario and he is very Italian and very good at driving and parallel parking) and I'm sort of dreading it because he was so nice.
