Question: Where did World War I start?
Answer: Outside my window!!! Other acceptable answers were the Latin Bridge or Sarajevo.(I tried to take a picture of myself with the view in the background but over the course of 2 different days I couldn't get the right lighting or angle that I was happy with, so you'll just have to settle for this.)
So, yes, I am quite happy with my apartment but I think the best feature may be its location. I've said before that I would rather have a tiny apartment in the area I want to live than a huge apartment way far away. This apartment is right on the river and in the center of town right near the old town neighborhood Baščaršija (bah-shar-shee-yah). I can walk to everything that I need, including where I work which is about a 15 minute walk if I meander there. I've been loving walking everywhere here but I will be getting a tram pass soon (details on that are for another post) which I think will be handy come winter.
But back to the apartment. It's above a clothing shop and there are a total of 8 apartments in the building. You walk in to a small entryway and then in front of you to the left a bit is the bathroom with my washing machine. In front of you to the right a bit is my little galley kitchen. Turn right and you have my bedroom with little reading lamps in the wall and my closet with full length mirrors. If you turn right from the entryway then you are in the big living room. It has a "pit" L shaped sofa (I don't think it could be called a sectional because the pieces don't move) which pulls out to be a big bed also. There are some cabinets on the wall and a small flat screen TV. I also have a little coffee table with the couch and floor lamp. Then there is a larger table with four chairs that is now against the wall with the three windows that face the river. The windows can open from the top or from the side to get fresh air and I have the same set up of three windows all the way across the apartment in my bedroom.

(As of now the pictures I have are of it looking barren, I will take and put up ones of it with my decorations tomorrow!)
So, yeah, that's about it for the apartment but like I said, I really like it so far and have been on a number of grocery runs to get myself set up there. It's been recently renovated so everything feels like new to me. As I said, the couch pulls out to a biiig bed and also since it's right in the center it's right around the corner from Hotel Europe, the nicest hotel in the city... so really, no excuse not to visit!
