Mi Piso

I thought the search for an apartment here in Sevilla would be killer. It was super easy for me in Madrid because I loved the first one I saw, but I knew I had just been lucky, and after hearing everyone on the Facebook groups complaining about how hard piso-hunting was turning out to be, I was not looking forward to it. But I happened to, once again, love the first place I saw, and now here I am with my very own room in Sevilla!

I live with two Venezuelan girls (who I really like so far!) and their dog Fito in a neighborhood called Triana. It’s an adorable area with small, winding, cobblestone streets that seems more quiet and laid-back than a lot of the other areas, it’s super close to the river (which I adore), and, best of all, it’s just a ~15 minute walk to the bus station I’ll be leaving from for work. Here‘s the Wikipedia article if you want to know more!

And now, a photo-tour of my new place.

The apartment exterior. On the bottom floor is a store that, from what I can tell, does framing (and perhaps art as well?).

The view down the street in one direction.

And in the other direction.

I love our stairs.

Entering the apartment.

The kitchen.

One of our two internal patios, which I love!

Living room.

My bedroom!

Fito! Poor guy's wearing a cone right now because he was recently neutered.
