Stuttgart Apartment

So here is the place. It has some crazy features. First, all of the floors are grey tile. This is a change from the wood floors to which we are accustomed. I think it is made to look like marble, but clearly not marble.

Second, all of the doors (even the bathroom door) are see-through glass. We have no idea what we are going to do when we have company. You can see EVERYTHING that is going on in bathroom from the kitchen. I am thinking about a creative solution involving wrapping paper. It is undoubtedly a bachelor pad. It has all modern furniture, black leather, no dining room table, and a mounted flat screen.

The guy we are renting from is really nice and serves as our ambassador to Stuttgart by helping us with things like calling the cable company on our behalf and talking to the utilities company so that we don't have to.

He also sent us free pizza from his pizza place on the night we moved in and had no food, and left us a bunch of wine and champagne.

View of the living room from the bedroom.  Notice our sweet TV.  It is best used for watching German MTV.

View of the other half of our living room.  This is the worst use of space I have ever seen.

Close up of the giant red cushion in the corner.  What is this all about?

The kitchen with small breakfast table.

View into the bathroom from the kitchen.

Bedroom with and actual double bed rather than two twin beds pushed together (suprisingly difficult to find here).

The closets in the bedroom with a view of the clear doors that you find on every room.

The view of Stuttgart from our fifth floor walk-up apartment.  My lungs and legs get a work-out every day!
