It took ages to found a place in Seattle. I was super late to book for a whole month.

There was very little choice left, practically nothing in or around Capitol Hill, and the few places were either shared rooms, a couch, or a sleeping bag! I’m not kidding.

A few rooms were available, but a couple of kilometers from where I wanted to be, so I would have needed a bike for sure. Or walk a lot!

So I started checking not for the whole nearly four weeks, but for what was available. And I found a great place. I’ll stay with Lily in her place on Capitol Hill in the first two and a half weeks till the first weekend.

After that, I’ll either switch places and/or use the time for a three-day visit to Vancouver, a city I really like, to meet my friend Joe, whom I met through Javo back in Buenos Aires in November.

So now I only need another place for a shorter term, which should be easier to find.

However, I should finally learn my lesson and book stuff earlier: I’ll have way more choice at lower prices, if I do.
