Apartments Vicky Hallway and Common Area

 Looking down the hallway towards the back apartment number five, which is a two bedroom bath and a half furnished apartment. The four front apartments are all one bedroom one bath furnished apartments. The door on the left is to apartment number one and the door on the right is to apartment number three.  The tile used thruout the building is from Italy.  The doors and cabinets are all made from magonany wood. The ceilings are tounge and grove made from laurel or melina wood.
 The door on the left is our office.  The window on the right is to apartment number four.

 We call this the Romeo and Juliet balcony.

This view is that of living room window of apartment number five.

We have a common washer and dryer for the apartment building, which we charge $10.00 a month for the use for each apartment.  We do not supply detergent - sorry.  The facility is available from 7:00AM to 9:00PM.

 We call this the birdhouse, well it's actually a dollhouse. At one time we had a few small parots who used it as their nest, however that didn't work out that great due to all the presents they left behind.  It was pretty cool having the birds free ranging in the common area though. 

 Common
  picknic table hand laid with ceramic tile by Vicky herself.  A great place to hang out and have a couple of beers.
The front door sidepanels exhibit a collection of Costa Rican butterflies.  This was a Vicky design element of distinction, which I've never seen incorporated into a door design before.
 Yes we recycle.  We donate aluminum cans, glass, paper and plastic to a woman in Bario Jesus, Santa Barbara who uses the proceeds to feed childern in the community. Check out the iron pig on the second layer of the fountain.
