Things were easier the first time round in London, we were definitely on the same page.
But we've gone from residential forest gate to renting a flat in lyon on a road bang in town with with everything, markets great shops bars etc (there's 4 fucking cheese shops on our road alone).
We're aligned in the sense that we both want to stay central and not live outside the city, we saw a massive house only 10 mins cycle from where we are now which I thought was great but was a 20 minute walk from the nearest bakery. My wife said non!

Had the opposite experience - my wife was astonished at the level of compromise I was willing to put up with in terms of location to get the property I wanted.
It took literally years of viewing to find a place that ticked both of our boxes but we got there in the end. It's hard work but valuable work.
