Apartment Hunting First Try

I'm pleasantly surprised by my choices. I was expecting much worse.

Recap

Apt #1: 689 Ninth Avenue 2N $2050 1 bedroom floor through, eat in windowed kitchen, windowed bath

Apt #2: 687 Ninth Avenue 2N $1700 large studio with eat in kitchen

Apt #3: 688 Tenth Avenue 5N $1800 1 bedroom floor through, eat in windowed kitchen

Apt #4: 688 Tenth Avenue 3S $2000 1 bedroom floor through, eat in kitchen with d/w, french doors

Apt #5: 814 Tenth Avenue 1A $1950 large ground level duplex, 1.5 baths

Wanna see pics?

So my favorite is #4. It was all new looking, I loved the kitchen, it had french doors between rooms, though no laundry on site. There's a laundromat right across 10th Ave. though.

My second favorite is #1. It's all renovated and clean, similar to #1 but has the ugly paint, no laundry in this one either.

I could live in them all though. They are all bigger than where I was in Boston. Apt #2 I have no pics because it was from the same landlord as #1 so it had the same ugly paint but it was a studio, though not a bad size and spread out.

What do you think? I think I might fill out an application for Apt #4. Just want the Bear to look at the info and pics first though since he's in Arizona and can't see them in person.
