Even before she moved in, Cristina had keys to the house, allowing her to enter it at any time.
Cristina also spent several nights in the house before she moved in.
The only two characters from the main cast never to have visited Meredith's house are Addison and Erica. Everyone else has visited at least once.
Meredith sometimes hides her tequila in the cookie jar.
There is a swinging bench at the front of the house that could not swing because Thatcher had stuck a nail in a part of it because Meredith used to catch her fingers in it.
When George and Izzie moved in, they argued over their rooms.
Sadie slept on the couch.
Lexie slept in the attic.
When Derek moved in, he tried to get Alex and Izzie to move out. When Izzie found another apartment, she showed it to Cristina, hoping they could live there together, but Cristina misinterpreted and moved in there with Callie. Alex decided he would sleep in his car.
Callie calls it the Frat house.
