I took another trip back to NYC this past week, to search for an apartment & stuff. I got there on Sunday I stayed with a wonderful mutual friend of mine in Washington Heights upper west side. It was a nice area, a lot of dominicans. Respect to all of the dominicans. The area was awesome. So once I got settled in with my luggage & shit we(me & the girl I will be living with when I relocate to NYC) set out to all of our appt. we had set up which for that whole day was 6. The first apartment was in Washington Heights on W 162nd St in Manhattan. It was completely renovated, new painting, floors, wiring, appliances, bathroom, had a beautiful mantle simply smashing. It was in a brownstone, on the 5th floor accept it had no elevator. :( The rooms were an ok NYC size. Nonetheless my roommate & I thought it was very nice!
Afterwards we viewed a few more in that day, 1 in lower west side close to Central Park the rest in Brooklyn with a psychotic broker from hell!! She was insane, it was hilarious though since it was something I have never experienced. She took us to one apartment in which the layout was so wacked out, it was literally WHAT THE FUCK? Like you would have died laughing at the shit. It was like you walk into this building & you have someone living on the 1st floor then you walk up to the 2nd floor & there is A KEY TO EACH ROOM. I mean that literally, you had the kitchen behind one door there was a key to that, your living room behind one door there was a key to that, the same went for the bathroom & the one bedroom on that floor. Then up one flight of stairs you have the attic which she considered a party room/ or additional bedroom. Here is the catch: YOU COULD NOT EVEN STAND IN THE ROOM. It was horrible the ceiling was like 5 foot even. It was horrible. Me & my roommate laughed our asses off at that apartment.
My roommate who currently lives there now had to work during the week, so in the mean time I viewed a ton more of apartments & did other random shit. I also applied for a job, did some calling around & tried to set up interviews while I was there. Which was a SUCCESS! I went to the interview & got offered a position in the same day! Yae!!!! I was fucking excited. Check this: IT IS THE BLOOMBERG building! So dope. One day while viewing apts in Park Slope Brooklyn I got to sit out on Eastern Parkway which was beyond amazing the weather was great the streets were semi-busy & the sun was setting it was great.
Looking for a place in NYC was very overwhelming I should know MTA routes by heart now.
We possibly found one though so I am pleased with my trip. I believe it went well.
I go back soon for good. I'll have me own home. :) Mi familia & friends can come to visit me
as often as possible. I feel very blessed.
