19. Music – rue de Rome – potential, but too late

And so began round two of looking. Here, unlike in the US, you can break a lease with three months notice and provided the owner can find another tenant to take over in a timely fashion, you may not even have to pay the remaining rent. With the lack of inventory for decent rentals, ones that are don’t stay on the market long so we were free to begin our search again. The first apartment on the new quest was on rue de Rome, which is situated in a neighborhood where the streets are named after European cities and on this particular street are many stores specializing in musical instruments. The apartment was big and bright and I liked it, but there was a woman already talking to the guardian about being in touch and since I knew she would get in first, there was no point in handing in our dossier so we decided not to torture ourselves.
