Josh loves historic neighborhoods so when we first visited the Old West End, I knew we'd have to go back. Today we drove around looking for "For Rent" signs in front yards and calling potential landlords. We saw a few apartments that were in okay condition but nothing that special. As we were walking to the next apartment, Josh said that he was hoping we could find a duplex or apartment where the landlord also lived in the building... preferably a nice old couple as the landlord. Little did we know that was the exact situation at the next apartment!
An older woman and her husband own a beautiful historic house that was converted to a duplex in the 1950's, and they were looking for renters for the entire top floor. The concept of a duplex is so neat... the upper floor has a private entry and a kitchen; it's basically just two large apartments in one home. The apartment was beautiful: original hardwood floors, newly renovated kitchen and bathroom... it was $800 per month, everything included, but it was 2,000 square feet! Such an enormous apartment! Josh and I left feeling optimistic about it but we decided that it is just way too big, even though everything else about it was amazing!
We saw a few other apartments today, including one in a new apartment complex in Sylvania, a suburb north of Toledo. The apartments are beautiful, so that one goes on my short list!
Josh and I didn't do much else today. He is such trooper for helping me find a place to live!! :)
