Oh yes, about that surprise…..

When I arrived on the island in early September to look at the apartment I’d chosen I was dismayed to discover that the pictures posted for the unit I’d chosen were a few years old.  The pictures did not reflect the actual condition of the apartment.  In speaking with the landlord I asked if new cabinets could be installed.  He advised they could, but it would be several months, as they come from Europe.  In mentioning what the cabinets would look like, he took me to the apartment upstairs from my original choice.  He also mentioned that this unit was available as well, albeit $300 more per month, which was still in our budget.  I immediately fell in love with the new unit for its views (the lower apartment had no view), the additional square footage and the fact that it was 2BR, 2BA (both en-suite).  I called my husband immediately and inquired if we could change to the larger unit.  He agreed the difference was worth the money, and we had the newer, updated unit!  Here are a few of the views.  I think you’ll agree it was money well spent.  It’s been noted that we are very lucky to have snagged such an amazing location.  I’m definitely penciling it in under the “meant to be” column.  To have gone from decision to move to actual move in 2 months, with the enormous amount of details that had to fall into place, yes, it was definitely meant to be ❤️
