Jimmy was very interested; it was a condo apartment on the Upper West Side with property rights, only a block away from Central Park—quite a favorable location. Although the price was a bit steep, it was manageable.
The two of them scheduled a time to take a look. The apartment building, built in the '80s, didn't look all that glamorous from the outside, but for the Upper West Side, it was quite decent—most notably, there were no external metal fire escapes, which made it a lot safer.
Directly in front of the entrance was the living room, with an open kitchen on the right and a hallway to the two bedrooms on the left. Entering the hallway, the left side had a bathroom with a shower, and next to it, a narrow space that perfectly fit a washer and a dryer—yes, Jimmy had taken special note of that. The apartment had been remodeled to include in-unit laundry, avoiding the need for a communal laundry room, which was very appealing to him.
