Well, this morning I get an email from the owner and here’s what he said.
Hi Elizabeth and thank you for your message.
Unfortunetly we won’t be able to rent you the apartment because they
just started renovation in our building and for the next three months it´s
gonna be really noisy!
Hope you will find another place.
Best regards.
Ummm, wtf? I can’t believe my luck. Based on the photos, the building and the apartment are in perfect condition so I’m not sure this guy is being truthful with me. I am so bummed. I haven’t even come close to finding an equivalent apartment and now, I really don’t have the energy to keep looking. Every apartment I like is rented or too expensive. I wrote the owner back and said I wouldn’t mind the noise so hopefully he’ll reconsider. What bothers me most is his apartment is still listed for rent for all the dates except the ones I need it. If his apartment building is being renovated, why wouldn’t he block out the next 3 months? Sounds fishy, right?
I hope something equally amazing comes along but I don’t want to wait much longer and end up without an apartment. I still need to book our train tickets and convert our US dollars at the bank. I have been dreaming of this trip since Olivia was born so I am pretty stressed out that everything goes according to plan.
