Dilemma!

Imagine this: you have a friend who owns a lovely apartment downtown. You've visited it before and have always found it to be quite lovely, although a little small. But it's still charming in a quirky, boho sort of way. Your friend recently got engaged and is moving to the suburbs to live with his bride-to-be. He wants to keep the apartment to rent out, but he has had no luck finding an appropriate renter. He offers it to you at a huge discount, no security deposit. Taking the apartment would mean totally uprooting your life at a moments notice and occupying yourself with the business of moving, a business you hate. You'd also experience a huge lifestyle adjustment--going from 4 roommates to none.

The offer is the stuff of urban legends. Units like this never go for the price available to you. But you have to decide soon, as its a decision that affects many people.

But, you'd have your own charming apartment with which you could entertain friends whenever you want and have your very own little haven from the world around you, and you'd be in walking distance of a ton of cool places. You would also be free from the politics of group houses, even though your current one is rather drama free. But you may also finally feel like more of a grownup, and would no longer have to feel slightly embarrassed when strangers ask you where you live and who you live with.

What do you do?
