I'm visiting my parents and have now also seen my new apartment and
signed the lease. Snapped some photos of the place too, but they're
still in the camera. Will look at the pics more closely when I get
home, maybe upload a few into Webshots, don't know yet.

But anyway, I did already check where to place the litter box, the food
bowls and the cat tree. The balcony is absolutely huge! At least
compared to previous apartments, not including the present one, which
is on ground level and has it's own back yard. I'm sure the kitties
will love to hang out on the balcony, birdwatching or just watching
everyday life, as will I. The apartment is on the fifth floor (when
counting ground level as the first floor), so we'll be "on top of the
world".

There is plenty of storage room in the apartment itself, including a
walk-in closet, as well as additional storage space for each apartment
on the ground floor. The view is nice, the area also - no heavy traffic
or noisy neighbours. No aeroplanes or trains nearby, like where I live
now. And the rent is some 200 Euros cheaper even tho the apartment is
the same size, and has the same comforts (eg. it's got it's own sauna
too) as my present one.
