The guest flat that we are staying in for the next 2 months

Our sea shipment will arrive around the end of October so we will be in this Apache guest flat until all is settled. Today we are going to look for houses. Here are some photos of our flat which is very large with high ceilings. There are 3 bedrooms, a large living room, large dining room, kitchen, 2.5 bathrooms, another large living room area upstairs, and a laundry room. It's a split level apartment and not like apartments in the US. It's almost like a house.

I am happy today because one of the cleaning products I bought yesterday is exactly what I was hoping for: just a plain bleach spray. I got a migraine last night from using the overly smelly cleaning products and this morning tried the clorox spray. No harsh smell and bleach to kill things!! Plus I can re-use the spray bottle and make it as strong as I like. 

Our kitchen. There is no light in this room; I think the windows look into an opening with wires and such. Kitchens are not important to wealthy Egyptians because everyone has a maid/cook. Only the help goes into the kitchen. Very unlike the US where kitchens are central to the house and entertaining. That's what the large living rooms are for. 

Living room. There is a large dining room on the opposite side. We have limited cable and will rely on Amazon instant view to see our shows--like The Bridge! Such a good show. 

Air conditioners controlled with a remote controller. See the white thing on top? You are supposed to turn off your ac when you leave your apartment. It actually doesn't get too hot in the house. We use the ac only in the living room, kitchen, bedroom, and a living area on the second floor. The kitchen one stays on but otherwise I turn them off when I'm not using the room for a long time. They say to do that because the electricity can be dodgy--no grounding and such with a greater risk of electrical fires.

The four things on the left contributed to my migraine. The clorox bleach on the right is what makes me happy.

The living room upstairs. There is a computer desk on the right side. This is where we hang out because the wifi only works in this room. They are going to run more wires in the downstairs living room so we can use wifi there as well.

My bathroom. See the big white container near the ceiling? That's the hot water unit. There's a shower to the left. bob and Helen, this reminds me of the bathrooms in England except for the bidet.
