It's a 2 bedroom, huge bathroom flat in the Fulham neighborhood just outside central London. Aaron's commute will be by bus or tube and will be about 40 minutes (we think). It's a 10 minute walk to the Fulham FC stadium where we have season tickets and the flat is in really great condition; new carpet, just painted, great furniture, as I said earlier amazing bathroom. It's the perfect amount of space for us and the neighborhood nearby is very cute. They call it Munster's Village and it has a few parks, restaurants and shops.
It's nice to finally have a flat to call home, but we can't move in until earliest next week and our hotel was sold out so yesterday we moved to an Airbnb flat (similar to vrbo). I let the flat owner know we would arrive around 2pm. So yesterday we took a cab with our 8 bags and got dropped off outside the place only to then realize the flat owner was nowhere to be found. We called and she was having an emergency but would be there soon. We looked very out of place as we sat on the stoop for a good half hour, and I swear the building we were staying in had by far the most pedestrian traffic going in and out the front door!! How awkward we must've looked : )
We also experienced riding the tube for the first time on Friday and let me tell you, now we are pros! We didn't get lost once and got off on every stop we were supposed to- a New Yorker would laugh but coming from Seattle where there's no public subway system in the city, that is something to be proud of.
Today we are doing a little less worrying about no cellphones or a bank account, and a little more exploring. We are going to wander the streets of London... but this time we won't be homeless!!
