You know what's different about this apartment? I built it for myself. When I was doing this remodel I kept thinking to myself, "If I ended up living here, how would I want it to look and feel?" So I tore out walls. I moved things around. I put the coat closet over here instead of there, cuz, "who would traipse across their clean floor to hang their coat?" I demo'd the tiny and embarrassing galley-style kitchen and made an island, with a centerpiece fixture and drawer-style trash and recycling because that's what I would want. The $2,500 refrigerator has an icemaker and filtered water. I did buy a used stove, but it's still nice. Classy kitchens don't put their microwaves on the countertop. No they spend the extra to build them into the range hood. Where do you put your modem and router in a small apartment? On the floor in a corner? Nope. I had them wired into one of the many cabinets where there's room and the mess of wires is hidden from your guests. The bathroom is not all that big, so a standard-size sink and vanity would have stuck out into the doorway. People told me I was silly to spend the money on a custom-built floating solid-surface vanity with a ceramic vessel sink but that's what I would want. Most landlords put laminate floors in the bedrooms, but I really like the warmth of carpet. There's coin-op laundry in the basement. The basement and hallways are clean. We have a cleaning service that keeps it that way because that's what I would want. You get your own parking space, and occasionally garage spaces become available (additional cost). We allow pets, but both you and them need to be well behaved. And I need an additional security deposit of $500. Your neighbors are kind and respectful because we wouldn't have it any other way. The particulars: I've put a lot of love into this building, so I insist on only renting to folks who can demonstrate that they are good people who would treat my kids' college fund as though it were their own. I screen for credit (generally 650+), steady rental history, and strong references. Rental assistance is welcome. If that fits, we'll probably be a good match. Amy (my rental manager) will show you through. If you like it (and I hope you will), you'll fill out an application. We'll check references. You'll interview with me. And if all that works out, we'll sign a lease and give you a door code. If you've gotten this far, it already shows that details matter to you too. I hope you consider us for your next home. ~John
