Flat hunting was quite stressful, and pulling it off on little sleep proved to be trying. We found a fantastic place right off the bat, and were thus disappointed with every place afterward that paled in comparison. Unfortunately, the flat we fell for was too much for our budget (still very little in comparison to Ann Arbor - har har!), and the landlord refused to negotiate. We were crestfallen all day, and over dinner our exhaustion and disappointment accumulated to silence, a first for us three conversationalists.
However, lo-and-behold, shortly after acknowledging our poor morale, we got a phone call from the sheepish landlord of our dream flat, explaining this and that, but has "decided to lower [his] asking price." AL HAMDUH L'LAH! - We have a Nile view!
