The New Home

Finally, we are in California and on our first full day here, we found a place for Daivd and a wonderful new landlord who was willing to come into the office and do all the paperwork and background checks and enable David to have the keys to his new home today. After all our internet work ahead of time, we found this one the old fashioned way - we walked the streets in the neighborhood Daivd wanted to be in and looked for signs saying for rent. The new place is in a nice neighborhood in a quiet building and has a classic gas stove (which pleased David) and beautifully refinished wood floors, and new kitchen floor vinyl. The counters are 50's tile as is the bathroom. In one direction he has a little view of San Francisco and the bay bridge and in the other direction, he can see the Berkeley hills. He can walk to Lake Merritt and is only about two miles from work. It was a long day, but we got a lot done. . .
