We are settling in quite nicely in our little one-bedroom service apartment. It is small but cosy for us.

However, there is only one washing machine and dryer to be shared between all households (i think 20) in the basement. As a result, we have to ‘book’ our timeslots in advance. With only 3 timeslots available in one day, needless to say, the weekday afternoon slots are more available. This is how it looks like – each guest will have one key and they have to book only ONE time slot each time and lock it to the date and time slot.

So far, we have only managed to do laundry twice each week. Each time, it takes 4 hours. Specially when i can’t leave the 2 kids at home and rush down to the basement. I will have to take them with me.

The process is kind of old and can you imagine the bloke upstairs will have to turn down appointments because it is ‘laundry day’ and if he misses it, he will have re-schedule his washing.

How sexy is that?
