Since this post about housing is boring, I'm going to share the e-mail I just got from Kay Ray. How much do we hate her?
heya [towwas]!i'm at a computer (duh) and thought i'd say hi! Unfortunately this one doesn't let me do the whole gmail chat thing, bu you're probably not up since i think it's like 4 a.m. but i'm not quite sure, i decided it would be best not to pay attention to those things.anyways, i'm in dublin!it's beeeutiful here today, i think we're going to wander around town and do all the essential touristy things. london was lovely, lots of wandering and eating and i had cheese with a picture of wallace and gromit on it! and saw an exhibit on kylie minogue at the victoria and albert! and saw wicked!and other fun stuff.later dude![kay ray]

I think you made the right decision on the apt. You are under no rush to find something so might as well wait for something awesome!
Kylie Minogue exhibit? I need to go to that museum now!
I'm with Sophist on this one. My first apartment after college was one where I sort of felt "okay" about it. But in retrospect, I wasn't all that happy with it. It was dull.
Ever since I've always made a point of only living in places where when I first walk in, I think "Cool!". It hasn't done me wrong since.
As for window units, I had one in my place in Cleveland. Yeah, they are kind of annoying if you want to take them out in the winter, but it beats not having any a/c at all.
Yeah, no a/c is not an option - last summer it was above 100 for like a week.
I agree - if you're going to be spending many hours a day over multiple years in a place, you shouldn't feel "meh" about it unless you don't have any other options.
Good call, TOWWAS. I hope you find a place that makes you happy soon! Make sure it has good water pressure in the shower.
I did love the apartment, in that walk in and go "woohoo!" kind of way - it just needed to be in a different part of town, with central air. Also, my mom pointed out (I didn't notice) that the bathroom didn't have a proper door, just a folding louvered door.
I agree on the a/c - I have a window unit now, and I never put it in. It drives me crazy that my options are nothing or a/c, with no intermediate open-window option. Yeah, I know about 'fan,' there's something about a natural breeze that can't be beat...
I'd say that since you are under no pressure to find a place, waiting for the perfect storm of apartment, amenities and neighborhood is the right choice! You'll know it when you find it...
