We moved to our new apartment on October 27. All of our earthly possessions arrived relatively unscathed. There were a few scratches here and there, but not too bad. The movers loaded the boxes on to a motorized lift that looks like a ladder with a platform attached to it and sent them up five floors. The boxes were then loaded through a window. I couldn’t watch! I guess this is how they do it in New York City, but I’ve never seen it before.
Our apartment is a decent size and we have plenty of room for guests. It’s strange b/c it’s so modern compared to our house and to many apartments in Europe. We sacrificed character for space, comfort, and location. Because there is such a huge expat community here and people are always coming and going, you can get good prices on second-hand items. We bought a washing machine and some wardrobes that way. European apartments have no closet space. We also made a few purchases from Ikea and now we’re all settled in and ready for visitors! You might want to wait until spring. The weather sucks right now.
