I started showing the apartment last night. The first guy came in with his girlfriend. I showed them around - explained what stayed, mentioned the crawl space, pointed out the "closet", and mentioned again that it was a full bath. We were standing there talking when his girlfriend said something about the toilet behind the door. (Time out to explain the bathroom set up: when you open the door, to the left is the tub/shower, and right in front of you is the sink attached to a half-wall. The toilet is on the other side of the half-wall, and you have to close the door in order to get to the toilet.) The guy gets this look on his face and goes into the bathroom and looks behind the door. Sure enough, there's a toilet. He comes back with a sheepish look on his face and said, "That was going to be a deal-breaker, and I wasn't even going to ask."

That made me rather like him - I hope he applies.

Am I understanding right that he didnt htink it had a toilet? It's not the 1930's. We go inside now.

yeah, I've actually looked at places without toilets. Or without sinks in the bathroom. Or one with a utility sink in the 'living room' that was to stand in as the sink for the whole place. But granted the one without the toilet was in the boonies.

Hee!
