Anyone want to rent from me a two bedroom pad in LA in the midst of the action?

Do quoted rates (such as this appartment) exclude all other associated expenses in the U.S.?

HOA fees are sometimes paid for, sometimes not. Though I doubt this neighborhood will have one. Utilities are usually your own expense.

OK. Considering that fact and the exchange rate...I live for 7 months with all expenses included for one month's rent in Torie's place without.

Obviously we're talking about different worlds as far as the appartment is concerned....but still wow

Living in Munich would be interesting (assuming that is where you live). My sister was there just last week for work (not Oktoberfest lol) and she liked it. Though she hated how narrow the streets were and sometimes she was confused whether the streets were for walking or driving lol. And drove at 100mph on the Autobahn...

Narrow streets? Welcome to Europe! Munich is an especially unfortunate place to drive, of course. My university is in Munich. I live in Holzkirchen, though. About a 30 min. train ride to the uni. Beautiful city and surrounding, with Bavaria's beautiful lakes and mountains about equally far away.

Ah the Autobahn 100 mph is really not an unusual speed. You're certainly not the fastest on the road with that speed under normal circumstances and assuming traffic plays along.

How many square feet is your pad, Franzl? Is this in Europe or in that little "benighted" sliver of downstate Illinois?  If in Munich, I thought that town was pretty expensive.

As said in the other post, I'm about 30 min. outside of Munich. You're right. The city is quite expensive, at least for German standards. Still a joke compared to California, of course.

My place? It's tiny. I admit it. Only serves as a place to survive during uni, of course...without wasting too much money!

270 sq. feet Actually, per sq. foot comparable to your listing. But it's obviously not proportional when you get larger.
