We haven't spent much time there yet, since our shipment of stuff (including bedding, towels, dishes and other essentials) hasn't been delivered yet, but there are already pros and cons that I've come across.
Pro #1
We get to have old timey keys, which makes it feel all the more like we're living in London (see picture below).
Con #1
It takes 4 keys to get into the place - 2 for the front entry to the building and 2 to our flat (see picture above). There are actually 2 more if you count the key to get to the backyard from inside the house and the padlock on the door from the backyard to the street. This could be a pro item for the moms - Safety First!!
Con #2
It is a little tight. The hallway is not quite wide enough for Jenna and I to stand next to each other. Also the rooms are just generally smaller than our place in Dallas.
Pro #2
It is significantly bigger than most of the places we saw (no cot in the living room).
Pro #3
The landlord was only required to put in a bed, a kitchen table, and a couch. He put in 2 couches, and also added a coffee table, 2 bedside tables, and patio furniture, all which we were planning to have to buy.
Con #3
We just realized that there is no microwave.
I'm sure there will be more things that we'll come across, but those are a couple from the first day.

Is there room for two more loud Americans if they wanted to stay for a few days?
Do you get to see your Detroit Lions or have you become a soccer fan?
