Apart from that the 4th floor apartment is incredibly spartan. Marburg was comfortable compared to this. It is approximately 40sq metres with a tiny kitchenette, tiny table with 2 kitchen chairs, and 2 more comfortable chairs, stark white walls, and light grey cabinetry brightened by 2 lime green cushions. Not a place you would want to spend too much time. No view, although gets the afternoon sun, and empty echoing corridors.
Its back to church bells ringing on the hour, windows that either open from the top or from the side depending on the position of the handle, a double bed make of 2 single mattress and duvets and an imitation wooden floor that is easily swept.
It took me 3 attempts to get to the laundry. Wandering down white painted concrete corridors with white doors leading heaven knows where (actually the fire escape first time round, then I was locked out), down 3 flights of stairs and through more doors. What a concrete jungle!! Then it was figuring out the german on the washing machine and drier. Got that wrong the first time and put it on a delicate load so the washing came out really wet. Guessed which drier setting to put the drier on so hope I dont shrink the clothes.
