Write them down.
Life is about choices.
Establish how much you're prepared to pay for an apartment. Decide the features you require your new apartment to have, and the ones you'd like it to have. From reserved parking to a swimming pool, a dishwasher to a balcony, pets to laundry facilities, wheelchair accessibility to security features, recognize what matters to you. The same goes for location. You need to know what it is you're looking for.
