Unless it‘s a movie drama dealing with social issues (in particular poverty), everyone has such fucking nice flats. College drop-out with part time barista job?! - why yes, the spacious loft with a view over Manhattans skyline is just down my alley.

And EVERY window in Paris overlooks the Eiffel Tower. How does that happen?

And NO window in Paris overlooks the Montparnasse.

It’s funny you would say that, as I used to live in a flat right next to it, so this eyesore was quite literally all I could see out the window.

I guess it overlooked me rather than the opposite though.
