Why I like this apartment - reason #1

After my previous post, I kind of felt bad for our ghetto apartment. Sure, I clean mold off the walls fairly regularly. Sure, it sits smack dab on the street so the traffic and people noise is brutal. Sure, it's the size of a match box. Sure, there is absolutely no outdoor garden space. Well, there is ONE good thing about this place - location, location, location.

This place is dead handy to just about everything - restaurants, shops, pubs, you name it. I was thinking about this as I was walking back from the library. Don't get me wrong, walking everywhere can be a total pain and there are days that I LONG for a car, but when it comes to the day to day stuff, walking everywhere is a total benefit. Wes walks to work and I walk to the shops or to meet friends (because I have no work to walk to). If we did want to use public transportation there's a great bus stop up the street and we're just a few blocks from the LUAS. Heuston Station is close by and this is the station we use to get the train to Cork. And of course we're within easy walking distance to Phoenix Park, which we both enjoy.

So yeah, we might get the occasional bottle through our window, but oh well. It's our first 'home' as a married couple and we'll certainly look back on it with fond (and not so fond) memories. We're not going to be here forever! I hope.
