Thanks!!! It's not ideal as not only will I have to prematurely give up my plants, it's not got a gas stove (sadface) and is off a rather busy road - but the unit seems reasonably well protected. However, it's short term so at least I dont need to feel locked in! It's got space for a full fridge, washing machine, and has a dishwasher and aircon and a nice big ledge in the living room for indoor plants. And is in a very convenient location for shops, food, PT, work... even with the higher amount offered it's still less than my current rent. I could afford other luxuries even if the apt isn't ideal
