Read the following text about Julian’s plans:

Moving out from my parents’ home

It is a decision I finally have to take. Although my parents are so loving and generous and in our house, there is everything I need to live, I am already 26 and it is time for my independence.

Luckily, I have a good job and I am ready to live by myself. There are two options for good apartments to choose from. First, there is this little flat in the downtown of the city, it has everything I need; a bedroom, a small kitchen, and a lovely view of the mountains. There are also good shops nearby and it is close to the bus station where I take my bus to work.

On the other hand, there is a bigger place on the outskirts of the city where some of my friends live, they want to share the rent and it sounds like a good proposal too. They have a big garden where they produce some organic food and enough space for everyone... Of course, in this case, I have to share the kitchen, bathroom, living room, and all the facilities. The transportation to the city takes 1 hour but there is also a chance to use my bike and do some exercise every day. I hope I can make the best decision.
