Today is when I checked out of my temporary apartment at Rivet, and checked into another temporary residence. This time it's a downgrade from occupying an apartment to just a room.
This accommodation is gotten via airbnb.com. The cheapest that I found, at little more than $1k a month. The reviews were excellent, especially the bathroom!
This is the first time I'm using airbnb to rent a room, first time spending nights in someone's basement. Though it's among the lowest, the deal is by no means a spartan deal. The room comes with a queen bed with a nice wooden frame. A wooden chest of drawers stands in the corner. The closet is not the largest but it is sufficient for a single living. The basement bedroom is accessed from a basement lounge with a TV. The lounge is the gateway to other parts of the house such as the guest bathroom, garage, and stairs to the living room. Staying in the basement I have more privacy than I expected, and certainly more comfort than other offers which are higher.
Wifi was great. I was able to stream Amazon Prime videos over to the laptop without any playback stuttering. The landlord was friendly, though the cat is still not used to me. Shall try to bridge the gap with some treats in future.
A happy end to the week days
Received positive feedback from my colleague whom I was working/ learning closely with. That came as a huge relief, as job stability is critical to life in the States for the family. Hopefully I can continue to get their support in the coming months. I am lucky to be placed in a good team.
