New Temporary Digs

I moved into a furnished apartment last night for a short term lease. It's in the downtown area of SB. It's an old house, built around the turn of last century, that has been split into 3 apartments. I'm on the ground floor. I saw it the first weekend I was here as a possibility for a long term rental. When it was showed to me it was fully furnished and I asked if they have rented it for temporary stays furnished. The answer was yes and as I let a few other options slip through my fingers and grew tired of the Extended Stay I contacted the owner about moving in until the end of March, fully furnished. I made an offer for a specific amount for the rest of February and all of March and they counter-offered and I agreed. I was proud of myself, negotiating what I thought was a good deal. Well, my negotiating skills are not what I imagined them to be and I spent some time beating myself up last night as I signed a lease for the amount I agreed to + pro-rated amount for the remainder of February. I made a lame attempt at arguing it and in hindsight know exactly where I went wrong. Why is it so hard to stand up for yourself? If I had been negotiating for someon else or for work I would have stood my ground longer.
As I sat through a Project Management Training workshop today (day 1 of 2 1/2 days) I decided to stop beating myself up about not sticking to my guns and learn from it and be better at it next time around. Easier said then done. Negotiating money related issues; salary, rent, sales agreements, compensation is definitely something that should not be taken personally but for whatever reason I take it that way.
So, back to my new temporary digs. I have a side entrance with a little front porch (charming), you enter into the living room which has a bay window, seating, desk, table, closet. From the living room you walk into the bedroom, the bathroom is off the bedroom, continuing walking from the living room through the bedroom into the kitchen. Kitchen is well equipped with plenty of counter space. The layout is odd, reminds me of railroad apartments in NYC, but the rooms aren't narrow, just the fact that there is no hallway and if you have anyone over they have to go into the bedroom to use the bathroom and through the bedroom to get to the kitchen.
To get off my Starbucks 'addiction' at work I bought coffee last night and made a pot of coffee at 'home' today. I think this may have been my first successful pot of coffee ever! It wasn't half bad if I do say so myself and it was a Starbucks free day today! I have enjoyed cooking dinner the last 2 nights. Nothing so exciting to write about, but nice to have a variety of dishes, cutlery, and pots and pans to choose from.
I also enjoyed the vast quantity of cable channels available on the T.V in this apartment and watched "It Happened One Night" last night on TCM. Love the banter between Clark Gable and Claudette Colbert. I also have wifi at this apartment which I appreciate.
I hope to use the time here effectively to explore downtown and see if I do indeed want to live in downtown and check out the different 'neighborhoods'.
