Jason:That’s true. But I love the living room; it’s huge and filled with sunshine.
Alice:True, and I like the kitchen. It’s new and well equipped.
Jason:It has a great balcony with an incredible view of the park.
Alice:You’re right. The view is spectacular. But that bedroom is so small. We’d never be able to fit all of our stuff in there.
Jason:Maybe we could get some new furniture. Better stuff.
Alice:I haven’t thought of that.
