Hunt for the place to live

Two last week of May went in a name of apartment hunt. After visiting some 50 different flats, I can be your very own real estate consultant :) This time it was really worth to visit all the different places, as for some strange reason over the time quality of apartment and overall price/quality ratio clearly improved.
There were temptations of selecting a studio style apartment with a big bath in the middle of bedroom in an old traditional Shanghai style house. But maybe having the open space toilet at the corner of the bedroom is not that convenient solution...
There were options of apartments with 3-4 bedrooms, several bathrooms etc. But always was something not matching with expectations... often the very strange understanding of luxurious interior design and furniture... code name 'prosperous style'.

Final selection is 1 bedroom , living room, kitchen solution. Liked it from the moment when stepped in from door. House is very small only 11 floors, I am on 5th (according to numbers on 6th, as number 4 is not a lucky number in China, in my house there is just no 4th floor). Main feature is big corner window with huge windowsill - this is the tea drinking and book reading area.
