When I first arrived I lived in a mansion. An 8 bedroom home with a indoor pool, a dog( Cucu) and a maid( Letty). I was the only person there. I found the place on Craiglist for the low. The lady that owns it was currently living in California. She raised her children there, and then decided to move to America. She wants to make money off of an empty house, so she's renting it out for a reasonable price as a serviced apartment/long stay hotel kind of place.
The price was considerable reasonable from what I previously look at before. Each bedroom had an adjacent bath. It was really nice. Big size kitchen, big size yard. Plus it had a few balconies. It was a very substantial size place. I had quite a few parties there. Only issue I had with it was that it was little bit sort of removed from the city. But it was only a short ride on the bus or train to get anywhere.
The scenery at night was great. Completely pitch black. Only thing you could see is the stars and the silhouettes of the mountains. I would spend some nights out there reading or sketching.
Since then I have completely down graded to a village house. Which is a lot more close to my office and the rent is dirt-cheap. It’s essentially a concert box split into units by floor.
