In a bid to be more efficient at apartment hunting, I rented a car last night (upgraded, to a Pontiac G6, hence the sunroof). so I could get to multiple showings over the weekend. Right now, I am sitting in the back of said car, after seeing a place (no stove), that didn't show much promise when I looked at the outside yesterday. When I went with the real estate lady, she took me through a dark hallway to a downstairs apartment tucked beneath a staircase. I thought, oh god, not another pit. However, when she opened the door, it was bright inside, though tiny (studio). I was immediately drawn to the sliding glass doors on the back wall - there was a small private yard! It was actually very pretty and secluded.
