Trying to pick where to live. I have three options - two by myself, one share.
Option A: Goldhawk Road
- Studio Apartment
- £180 per week
- Doesn’t include anything - have to pay electricity, phone, internet, water, TV (have to pay for a “TV license” here) rates on top
- Decently spec’d kitchen (albeit old appliances, no cutlery etc)
- Average-to-small bathroom
- Futon-bed-thing
- 4th floor
- Good wardrobe
- Semi-suburban - quiet enough, not far from shops etc.
- 10 min walk from station
- Total 30 - 40 min commute
- Bright and airy
Option B: Fulham Palace Road
- Studio Apartment (in a big block - former doctor residence)
- £220 per week
- Includes all expenses except laundry, phone (but does include internet)Somewhat small (barely room to swing a cat and all that)
- Modern kitchen with modern appliances & cutlery etc (though small)
- Small bathroom
- Futon-bed-thing
- Limited wardrobe
- Common room, courtyard part of premesis
- Dark - lights will need to be on 90% of the time I’m at home
- 5 - 10 min walk from station
- Total 30 - 40 min commute
- Busy road
Option C: Wolfe Crescent
- Share House
- Large bedroom, average bathroom (ensuite), small yard/garden for me
- £200 per week (approx)
- Includes bills
- House in suburban-ish area, medium density
- Sharing with 4 others
- 3 Polish (married couple, guy) and 1 French (girl)
- All professionals
- Good English

- Proper bed
- 5 - 8 min walk to station
- 15 - 20 min commute to work

I’m leaning to Option C at this point. Help me decide! I need a decision by tomorrow morning!
