The courtyard with the children's play area right next to the tattoo parlor. As you face the tattoo parlor our apartment is to the left but in the same building just a couple of entry doors down. Then across from our entry door is a photo shop. I don't know how the photo shop gets much business because of the locked gate and the out of way place it is in. It must advertise some where but I don't know where (as if I could read it if I did).

Here are some more pictures of our apartment.
This is coming out the front door of our apartment building.
We live on the third floor in the back of the courtyard. Even though Nevsky is a very busy street our apartment complex is quiet except when the little kids are playing out on the playground or on Saturday nights when our downstairs neighbors are partying. With our two locked steel doors we feel like we live in a secure fortress.

As you come in our front door there is a long hall and all the rooms are off to the right. We have so many chairs left here by the landlord we have to put them in any empty place we can find. There are 29 chairs, a couch and a love seat.

The living room, where we have lots of Family Nights and District Meetings.

Our bedroom.

This is our office where we spend a lot of time. Tom is working intently, probably on a Sudoku puzzle.

Looking out our kitchen window.
