Hang in There, Kogasa-san 2953
It bothered me that that room on the second floor was even cheaper, when I moved in, I didn't want to carry my heavy luggage up the narrow outside stairway, so I went for the first floor. It even had a yard! I lived there for four years!
I went back to see those apartments for the first time in ages, by the way, and they'd been rebuilt.
