Man: Excuse me, ma'am. I'm looking for a
1 bedroom apartment
that I can rent for about 6 months. Do you have
an apartment like that?
Woman: Are you new to this city?
Man: It can't be more than a week or two
since I came, and now
it's been a few days that I've been looking for
an apartment, but
I haven't found a place up to now that has a good
location.
Woman: What is your budget? How much rent do you want to pay?
Man: About 700 a month. I can't pay more than that. I can't afford it.
Woman: How important is location to you?
Man: Location is very important for me in
this respect that I'm used
to a quiet place and the place that I rent, I
don't want it to be too
busy or have a lot of traffic because I stay very
far from noise.
Woman: So, you want a place that is relatively quiet?
Man: Yes, a relatively quiet place. If it
can be found that
would be good.
Woman: Does it need to be close to work or is it not very important?
Man: No, it's not very important. I can
drive about, for instance, 15 or
20 miles in a day. It doesn't matter much to me,
it's not very far.
Woman: It's not very far. OK, allow me to
look in the computer for
you and say a few apartments that are for rent.
If I find one, which
one you like. You wanted a one bedroom?
Man: Yes.
Woman: If it's a small house, do you want
it or does it have to be
an apartment?
Man: Well, if it's a small house, that's
better. If a small house can be
found for about that price. Because just like
I told you, I can't afford
(yes) more than 700 dollars a month in rent.
Woman: Incidentally, there's a small house
at the beginning of Seaside
(yes) when you get onto Freemont from Highway
1 (yes). There's a
small house right at the beginning of Seaside.
I don't know, are
you familiar with the Lee Chef resturant?
Man: Is it a Chinese or Thai resurant?
Woman: I think it's Chinese.
Man: Chinese. Is it on the right or left hand side of Freemont?
Woman: When going from the South, it's on the left side of the street.
Man: Yes.
Woman: and across from it is the 76 gas station.
Man: Excuse me, do you get to Broadway St. or do you cross it?
Woman: No, no. Going from the South, you
don't get to Broadway.
It's right at the beginning of Freemont.
