Our Hamilton Home

We have an apartment! It has taken a lot of searching--Jon can take pretty much all the credit for that. Our apartment is in a great area in Hamilton, on Pearl Street in the "antique district," where there are parks, antique shops, coffee shops, and other neat places to explore and enjoy. It is also relatively close to McMaster University. It seems just perfect for us! We have a relative in Hamilton who was kind enough to check out this apartment for us, and he was very impressed with the place...as are we! By the time we move in, it will be newly renovated, too.

One funny story about this place is that the application form said "no dogs, cats, or any pets" and so of course I investigated about whether or not guinea pigs are ok. When I had asked the receptionist of the agency, I guess she only heard the word "pig" and asked her boss if a pig would be ok...we all had a good laugh about that one. Turns out little Capo is allowed. Yay!

Our new place is a one bedroom apartment on the 3rd floor of the building with a balcony. It has a kitchen with nice counter space and a separate dinning room (attached to the living room). I haven't seen it in person (obviously) but I do know that it is larger than our current apartment so we're not too concerned about fitting in our desk (which was one of our concerns). Here are some pics of the place from the advertisement, to let you see what we've seen of it! It's quite the relief to not worry about finding a "Hamilton home" anymore.
