((If you follow the narrow alleyway by the name of "Gettysburg," you'll come across a set of steep, rusty metal steps leading up to a wooden door that's hanging on it's hinges (from having been slammed once to often.) If you brave the rickety stairs and manage to open the door, you'll find yourself in a cramped kitchen that should probably have been refurnished a few years ago. A dirty stove sits in the corner, next to a decrepit refrigerator and sink (full of dirty dishes, of course). The floor is covered in chipped, white and black tiles. On your left is a door plastered with signs reading "keep out" and "artist at work." If you should enter despite the signs, you'll find a room a bit larger than the kitchen. A creaky mattress is situated in the right corner, the blanket, sheet and pillow bunched in a tangled heap on top. All of the walls are covered in cork board, so that the artist who resides here can tack up what ever he finds worthy or necessary. The cork board is also there to cover up the walls' original color, a charming shade of puce. In the left corner of the room you can spot a large drawing table, completely engulfed in colored pencils, normal pencils, paper, erasers, markers, and all that other art junk. His family always felt it was best to give him art supplies as presents, resulting in many tubs of coloring utensils and sketchbooks. The floor is fairly clean, strewn here and there with clothes.
If you happen to choose the right door from the kitchen instead of the left, you enter the largest room of the three roomed apartment, the parent's room. This one is very tidy, with a fairly large mattress and desk. There is one huge, old computer on the desk, where Adrien's parents download their photos. The couple is quite acclaimed (on the internet) for their innovative photographs, mainly of the city. That's about all there is for you to see in this room, so you might as well go back to the kitchen.
If you still haven't had enough of this appartment, you'll look closely at the back wall of the kitchen and notice a small door, meant to blend with the wall. Behind the door is a tiny, cramped bathroom with only a toilet (they can use the sink outside, can't they?) and shower that is only supplied with cold water. At this point you'll most likely want to leave as fast as possible, so you'll end up going out the concealed bathroom door, through the kitchen, casting only a glance at the door covered in signs and the only regular door around here, to the broken entrance way
and down the rusty stairs in your most business-like walk.
It's inhabitants, had you run into them on your way out, would have greeted you in a composed manner, although it is most unlikely you'll ever meet them around here: the parents are out taking photos and their son is probably getting into trouble thanks to his friends.))
