Apartment Package

Shitoku 1-1

May 10th, 2006

Shitoku Danchi 37-202

 

Some notes on the apartment:

¦             There is hot water in the shower, and in the kitchen. There is none however in the bathroom sink. If you want hot water in the bathroom sink, you will need to buy a heater yourself.

¦             The apartment is one of the two most spacious ones available. It has three tatami rooms, a dining room, a kitchen, a bathing area and a toilet. It has two balconies, one in the front and one in the back.

¦             The apartment is located in the southern ward of the city, making it a bit far from the city hub. It is however right next to the monorail station, which can take you into the city proper in twenty minutes flat. Most conveniences – drug stores, supermarkets, convenience stores – are within a few minutes walking distance of the apartment.

¦             I purchased all of the following items myself, not having been provided with a package. I am charging half or less than half of what I paid for them.

¦             All items are subject to change. I have three months left in the place, and may get rid of things, or may buy things. If an item is added or removed, the package price will be adjusted accordingly.

¦             In addition to the following items, the contracting organization furnishes all apartments with a kerosene heater, a dinner table, a television, a refrigerator, a telephone, and a washer free of charge.
