It is amazing how little we have had to do to the apartment to make it feel like home.  It has the feel of an urban condo - very high ceilings, tall windows, a modern kitchen, and, yes, a washer and dryer. All the appliances are very modern including a wide screen TV with excellent reception. Because of a limit on electricity, we can only use two appliances at a time.  I am developing a strategy.  Last night, not thinking, I ran the air conditioner, dryer and oven -- bingo, all lights and appliances stopped.  Not difficult to put circuits back on but it was a reminder!  We do have a regular reminder that we are in an urban setting - the tram passes by on a very regular basis.  We did not expect to have so many conveniences.    I have included some pictures of the apartment.
