People keep saying on-site laundry is a must, but where's the nearest laundromat? I don't have laundry on site, but my laundromat is across the street. Distance-wise it's closer than hauling a load down three flights to a basement.
And everyone's been saying this, but counter and cabinet space and adequate lighting are so much more important in a kitchen than the size. I had a galley kitchen at one apartment that had so much counter space and storage it was great! In my place now, my kitchen is huge, but I have to do all my food prep on the kitchen table, and I'm always working in shadow since the one light in the kitchen shines down on the center of the room.
