A new apartment...

I might have found a new apartment this evening. Aaron and I checked it out after work. It's on 24th Ave. in the Whittier neighborhood. About three blocks from Nicollet and four blocks to Lyndale. On the #17 bus line, close to the #4 and #18. A one bedroom on the third floor with a large cool kitchen replete with tacky seafoam green lino tiles and incongruous cutting-board island. I see trees outside my window. I could afford it by being the caretaker, a position I was offered on the spot after expressing to the landlord my desire for quiet, clean space. Caretaking would require vacuuming halls once a week and shoveling snow in the winter. We'll see. I feel good about this, as long as the caretaking thing is in the lease. Has anyone been a caretaker before? Can I ask them to put that in the lease? Fingers crossed.
