our apartment ~ freie strasse 105 basel
this is where we will live as of the first of june, 2011! located on the far end of the primary shopping street in old-town, it's central to everything, yet not on a loud portion of the mainstreet. the location is so convenient because we will be living between andrew's office and mine, and we can each catch direct trams from the stop at the end of our street (about a 2 minute walk). we just thought we should be in the middle of things to start our life here in switzerland, and we have the conveniences of two large grocery stores, our bank, a post office, and many lovely cafes and restaurants all within 5 minutes walking distance. fasnacht will be an adventure when it rolls around next march, but we will embrace it for what it is, and remember that it's only 3 days!
we are so glad that we decided to check this place out, despite the online photos not offering much feel for the overall space. guess they knew they would attract some kind of architect or designer with those pictures...[note, the photos below are the current tenants furniture, not ours]
