1BR with Alcove at Le Rivage

lerivage_apartment_photo Competitively priced like a large straight 1BR in the neighborhood, but with a layout offering a “feel of a two”. All you need to convert this space is a nice screen to separate the alcove from the rest. And providing you can live without a window in this “second room” (it’s absence is a reason you technically cannot call it a bedroom), you can use it as a guest room, a home office, or as a part of your night zone. Here is our idea how you can furnish it.

And like all other apartments we write about, you can rent it (unfurnished) directly from the owner: [more]

Inexpensive yet of quality = good value?

The quest for an inexpensive yet of quality (equals good value?) rental apartment in the city is on. While saying “inexpensive”, we should quickly add “relatively”, as everything else is in this city. Describing “quality” is also a tricky subject to take on: it won’t for sure mean “luxury” (and we will try to disrupt this term in a separate post), and in fact it may mean different things to different people.

So, let’s describe here what it means to us: [more]

Windowed kitchen, nice size bedrooms, good closet space, two baths. Check it out, and we will “furnish it” in the meantime. [more]

Alcove Studio at Le Rivage

Some real estate brokers would call it a “junior one bedroom”, others (more aggressively?), convertible 2 – “just separate your spacious living room in half” (providing you are allowed to), but the truth of the matter is that Le Rivage offers good size alcove studios, and apartment #14-G is a good representation. If you can get a bit creative, you can really work this space out. Check it out, and if it works for you, rent it directly from the owner: [more]
