M: Well, Shirley, now that we’ve seen the three apartments, which one do you like best?
F: I don’t know, Brad. I know one thing. I didn’t like the one on the 68th Street.
M: Neither did I. Let’s cross that one off. That leaves the 72nd Street one and the 80th Street one. F: The one on the 80th Street has a better view, and a very cheerful kitchen.
M: Yes, and I like the carpeting in the hall. It was clean. But there was no good place to put a desk.
F: That’s true. You should always just put it in a corner of the living room, but then you wouldn’t have any privacy, and the bedroom was too small.
M: Right. And I do need to be able to leave my work out on the desk without having it looked into by nosy visitors.
F: Oh, Brad, we don’t have that kind of visitors! But I do agree the desk shouldn’t be in the living room. It is a constant reminder of unfinished work. What about the 72 nd Street apartment? It has a dining area. We could eat in the kitchen, and put the desk in the dining area. It’s more private there.
M: Yes, that sounds OK. Only, what I didn’t like about that place was the west window. It gets quite hot in the late afternoon with the sun beating down on the window.
F: Didn’t you notice the air conditioner?
M: No. Was there one?
F: Yes. And we could improve on the curtains, too.
M: That place did have the best parking facilities of the three.
F: Yes, I think that apartment is best for our needs. There’s good parking, and there’s a semi-private area for your desk. That takes care of the daily activities. We’ll just let the other chips fall where they may.
M: Ok. Let’s take that one.
