Apt finaly found.
Saturday morning the lady that was supposed to help me find an apt came, very on time. For the morning we visited roughly 6 to 7 apartments. Three on the redmond side and 3 on bellevue. The ones in redmond just doesn't interest me as much as those are old house style( they call garden style) type of apt, old design inside with old style cabinet. Surely they are livable, a bit cheaper, but the surrounding has very little, it's a real residential area.
Then we went to bellevue, one of them she was going to take me I actually already visited and liked and they aren't available. One she showed me was on my list, but for some reason I didn't go. Perhaps because they look so very fancy, I was a bit scared away. but this one I also like very much, it's also like the other two that I visited, having "IKEA" style.
I didn't put my deposit right away, because we had others to check out. After we are done, the lady suggested me to put in the deposit ASAP. Because it looks very likely that this will be my last only chance to get a reasonable ( reasonably in my high end expected budget )one bed room. She thought it's very strange, because usually the winter is like low season and have many things available ( she's done this so 10 years or something ) , so she suggested me not to wait until the 8th when the other two that I liked would know their availability.
I went back in the evening, and asked again and she told me that the one she showed me was gone.. and I was shocked, but then she said, it was her mistake that it was the other one that was available. So the really available one is on the ground floor, and you really don't get much sun light. I really hesitated, but this one is cheaper ( and smaller ). She told me about the other one, and that one was just a bit more than my Maximum expected budget, which will be on the upper floor. So eventually I asked her to hold the small one for me. and I really needed sometime to think about and need some other opinions.
at night, I called up mom, and we talked about it, and she suggested me to see the big one firs then decide.
Sunday, I went in and she told me..... the big one just got rented a 1-2 hours ago. -_-"" really a bummer. but she told me that there are other ones, one for 1095 and one for 1110. So I checked out the 1110 one, but couldn't c the 1095 one b/c it's still being cleaned up and stuff. But I asked to c them from outside and even the 940 one, and after a long long thought, I decided to go for the 1110. Yeah.. more than my expected budget, but the 1110 has so many advantages, it's on the higher floor, more privacy, it faces out to the street, again more privacy and definitely much more sun light, and it's bigger ( though this really isn't a issue). and also this one has a better floor plan, the 940 I really didn't know how I could put my bed.
