My Shimokita Apato! 下北沢 アパート!
Hello Sandwiches!
eeeep! I found my new Shimokita apartment! It's teeny tiny Tokyo style but lovely and sunny and super close to the station and walking distance to my dear friend Gracie's apartment! I found it on Forrent (special thanks to Google Translate). I can't wait to get there next week and start filling it with cute things!
