House hunting is like a fulltime job

Today was the third day in our search for an apartment. We were advised as to which neighbourhood would be nice for us; not to far from the cafe strip and also close to public transportation. So we decided to stay close to the main cafe street: Beaufort Street.
Traveling mainly by bus, we leave the apartment around 10 am to start the hunt. Lots of real estate agent hold open house, so you can have to look at the apartment which they are offering for rent.
We thaught that all the apartments here would be large compared to Amsterdam, but unfortunately they have the similair size, or even smaller living quaters, then back home. But the prices are much higher than in Amsterdam. An average 2 bedroom of 65 m2 would set you back 375 to 400 dollars per week! And yes that is only the rent and no heating or electricity costs are included.
But we found a brand new apartment for which we will apply tomorrow. And if they grant us the apartment we'll be able to move by the time our stuff arrive.

Killing time while waiting for the next open house visitation we gladly sit and have a coffee at one of the many cafes on Beaufort Street.
At the end of our search we will have sampled the coffee of all the cafes.
