Each man and woman comes to a point in their young adult life, sometime around or before graduating college, that their priorities change. The comforts they seek in whatever residence they call home begin to look differently. In the early college years, one might welcome the dorm life, in all its open door culture and the excitement involved with meeting so many new people. A couple years into the mix and one might even embrace the lifestyle of renting out a house with a few good, close friends.
...Even if the house isn't exactly new, or clean, or in peak livable condition. It's a sacrifice that's worth making in the name of having a private residence and a house full of friends that feel almost like family.
But you might find yourself needing something else once you get a wee bit older. Something with a little more class than the house, more privacy than a traditional college or dorm, and something that really supports you as a large child trying to learn what it means to finally become an functional adult in society. At this point, you might dream up the ideal, perfect apartment to live in, and think about all of the ways it would be the best place to live, ever. That place, my friends, is The Left Bank.
Let me start by saying, living in this apartment building has been absolutely surreal. It's the stuff of novels and movies. Sometimes I feel like I'm the character in a Wes Anderson movie, with all it's aesthetic wonder and quirky awesomeness. Like the concierge, my personal friend, Curtis.
Curtis is strikingly the most knowledgeable concierge (and person) you will ever meet. He is a lively man who takes pride in his job, and though he loves to talk to residents and get to know them, conversations may be abruptly postponed due to a call to duty. Curtis doesn't always have time to talk, but when he does, he speaks with wisdom. He is, the most interesting concierge in the world.
The apartments themselves are beautiful high ceiling lofts with hardwood floors, carpeting in the rooms, central air and heating, and large windows that allow in a tremendous amount of natural light (and a gorgeous view of the city). Since it's mostly adults and families living in the building, it's always quiet. I have space, privacy, comfort, cleanliness, and quality.
This family style residence is the peaceful, luxurious home space every new adult needs in their life. Growing up has it's perks, too. Like Curtis.
