Ha! I didn't find it soo bad - I guess you have to go into it with an open mind. I was about to create my own google maps just like until I came across this neat little tool: mapthatpad.com "I have nothing but respect for the fortitude of NYC apartment-hunters." Ha!

One thing I like to ask is regarding smoking habits of the previous tenants (if it's a house, if anyone in the house, not just the previous tenant is permitted to smoke indoors), and if the venting is shared throughout the building, if there are any units that are smoke-free. I also like to bring a critical eye, and look at the problems, not just the things I like. Having information about the neighbourhood (including nearest grocery store!) is also helpful.

Apartment hunting is very similar to job interviews. Ask the landlord things that may not be written in the ad, or ask about things you see that might be broken, need painting etc..Always ask if there's any way to get a reduction in rent too. For example, if you cut the grass, can you get $10 off per month (or whatever). I would also take a list of questions for the landlord. Apartment hunting is very similar to job interviews.
