Grandma's New Apartment

Today we got a chance to see Grandma's house one last time before moving out next week.   Here's a final look at upstairs of the house on Kensington Rd.




Later we go to see the new apartment on Spring Street.  This is a video tour of the new apartment.




Continuation of tour of new apartment starting with the master bath.




Grandma's new apartment is on the top floor (#902).  One floor down there's a connector to the rooftop terrace on top of the adjoining building.  Here's what that looks like.



Here are some still shots of the new place.  First one is from Spring Street looking up.  Their apartment is the top corner on the left.
