Conversation Two
M: Hello?
W: Hello, I'm calling about the apartment that was advertised in the paper this morning. Is it still available?
M: There were two, a three bedroom and a two bedroom. But the larger one has been rented.
W: Oh, that's OK. [24]I was only interested in the two bedroom. Can you tell me what it's like?
M: Well, [24]it is quite spacious and has sun most of the day. It's really cheerful. It also has an eating kitchen and there's plenty of closet space.
W: Sounds good. [23]The ads said the rent was 525 dollars a month. Does that include heat and electricity?
M: No, tenants have to pay their own utilities.
W: I see, what about parking?
M: That's no problem at all. Each tenant is assigned a particular space, and that space is there as long as they stay in the apartment.
W: [25]Great! Given how rents are these days, this seems almost too good to be true.
M: Listen, why don't you come over tomorrow and see for yourself? Ring the buzzer number 8. I'll be in all morning.
W: [25]Fine, see you then.
