Fantastic Flatmates but no hot water

The previous tenants left us this nice note that definitely bodes well for our apartment. It's going to be great. There are four of us: Tara, Alesha, Katie and me. So far, its started off awesome... with the exception of the no hot water. We're not really sure how this came about, but here it is. Hopefully everything will be fixed tomorrow.
We live in the "attic." It's awesome to be able to see across the street and down to the sidewalk but its a ridiculous long walk up the stairs. They're winding and very narrow; it was a bit of challenge with the luggage. We're all gonna be in great shape when we leave.


From our street we managed to get grocery, find dinner and get to a great pub. It was definitely an exhausting day; jet lag has a tendency to roll over you like waves. Some times I felt really energetic and ready to go and other times all I wanted to do was sleep. The center is in a great location; so much is easily accessible, which will be apparent in the days to come.

The group has been so helpful. Since our hot water disappeared, neighbors below and next store were offered up theirs. We have a wonderfully sweet group and I'm indebted to my awesome downstairs neighbors for letting me take a shower. THANKS!
