I liked it as soon as I walked through it. Kim old apartment is 520 square feet and this one is 1,000. Much nicer and lots of closet space. Her old apt doesn't have a dishwasher, and this one does, as well as a little larger refrigerator and of course the washer and dryer. All big pluses! We still have a storage unit we rented cause we have tons of stuff, being the pack rats we are.

The deck isn't huge, but nice enough for a couple chairs and such. (as mentioned in another post, the cats couldn't really hang out on the deck cause the slats of wood are large enough where they'd go through and wander away)

Kim knew before we decided on marriage that her cats constantly keep me awake at night since I'm such a light sleeper and any litterbox scraping, meowing, smashing their bodies (Zam) against doors and such keeps me awake, we decided to have a seperate room in which to lock the cats at night that's not connected to our bedroom. Ideally with a house I'll build a nice playroom of cat things for them to want to go there and not have it be a prison, but for now we'll put their litterbox in the back bathroom and let them roam the back bedroom in this new apt at night. But Kia and geckos will sleep in our bedroom.
