Pros and Cons

We have narrowed down our apartment search to a few contenders. Each has its pros and cons.

Apartment 1: 3200 sq ft, 4 bedroom/3 bath
This one is probably at the top of our list right now.
Pros: 3 minute walk to Cairo American College (CAC)- the American school we have applied to for Jackie.
Big, newish, clean, 4 bedrooms is a plus
Cons: Unfurnished- we would have to buy all new furniture. While it may be fun to decorate our own place, it may be a hassle and I'm not sure how long it takes to order furniture in Cairo.
Apartment 2: 2800 sq ft, 3 bed/3 bath
This apartment is owned by a half Egyptian/half Italian man. Ariel had a heck of a time understanding him since he spoke very little English, only Arabic and Italian. He said he got the gist of what he was saying when he spoke Italian but the realtors had to translate most of the conversation.
Pros: new, nicely furnished, wireless Internet in place, landlord is willing to pay for the Satellite TV. Few minutes walking distance to CAC.
Cons: The landlord kept emphasizing the fact that all the furniture had been imported from Italy and therefore may be very anal about kids living amongst all his fine leather. LOL. Only 3 bedrooms.
Apartment 3: 2000 sq ft, 3 bed/2 bath
This apartment is owned by a very nice British couple, it came in well under budget but since the owners seemed very nice we kept it on our list.
Pros: Very nice furnishings, very clean, no lost in translation moments with the landlords. Good building.
Cons: About a 15 minute walk from CAC, so I would have to depend on our driver every morning to take Jackie to school. Smaller than I'd like, especially since we have to take into consideration we will not have a yard for the kids to play in.

So, any opinions?
