Okay so tomorrow we will view two apartments, as I said, and I will try to blog the results Sunday evening for you. With the agent's permission, I'll also grab some photos so that they can be a bit more interesting to you. ;) We will be looking at a building from 1900 and another from around the early 1900's that has a ceramic corner stove.
Both have wood floors (yay!) and balconies, but one is on the 1st floor and the other on the 3rd so we shall see as I think I already prefer to be higher up since I work from home and there is less distraction. Both are 4 rooms, I guess the U.S. equivalent of 4 rooms would be 3 bedrooms as Germans don't count the kitchen in the room count. So with kitchen it's 5 rooms but here they'd only say 4 rooms. Both are around the same size, 135 square meters, but one has a guest bathroom and a speisekammer (pantry room) which is a big plus. Both are within our budget in the low-mid range so that's good.
I'm not too excited to view either as I saw the floor plans and neither look like ones I'll like (I am picky since I know that once we move I'll be living in this flat for at least 3 years but possibly many more)... but we shall see friends, we shall see. At least it won't be another open house! Yay!
See you tomorrow. And thank you so much for coming with me on this little house hunt with me. :)

I have just recently been introduced to your blog by my daughter and I am really enjoying reading about your journey.
I lived in East Berlin in the 70's and very much enjoyed the spirit of Europe. I loved the architecture too and I like design, so your blog is a perfect fit.
I can't wait to see the 2 apts you'll be looking at.
How horrible to have to go through that open house experience and to see the baby being so neglected. OMG.
