But, all things in, this is much, much better than the studios I lived in. At least here the noise is inconsequential enough that earplugs effectively eliminate it as opposed to a "doof-doof-doof" one could feel or having an upstairs neighbour that played music so loud it actually drowned out my own stereo. Relatively speaking I really like it here, but I guess nothing is perfect. At least within my budget.
And, horray! I am now on vacation. I don't go back to work until January 2nd. I can finish sorting out the rest of the apartment and finally really get settled in.
