Ok...new list:

3. Wood floors
4. Dishwasher
5. Near Subway
6. Gas Stove
7. EIK and Dining Room
8. Newish Windows
9. Basement storage
10. Pantry
11. Two bedrooms or one bedroom with study
12. Built in China cabinets

I've always had a dishwasher, but will probably never rent anything with a dining room
and
an eat-in kitchen in LA.
I have both, although my dining room is currently my living room.
I want an EIK and dining room for very selfish reasons. I want the dining room to be a sewing room that I can transform into a dining room if I want to have a dinner party.
I've never had an apartment with a dining room or a dishwasher.
ION, OW. It rained all last night and this morning, and my office building has a wooden front "porch" thing, which was muy muy slippery and when I walked out for lunch, I slipped on the top step and landed SMACK on my tailbone, and twisted my ankle. I can walk on it fine, but this is the same ankle that was just starting to recover from my 13.3 mile walk last Sunday. Ow ow ow ow ow.
I have, like, a corner that serves as a dining room. It's sort of between the kitchen and the rest of the apartment. I can't think why I'd sit down to eat with more than two other people. Sit down at the table, anyway.
I should note that we currently have neither an EIK or dining room. The table is stuffed in the living room. I'll settle for an either or. That really is a wish list. Like the first five things are the most important. The rest, eh.
Our dining room is a study/tv room.
I can't even fit a table in my place.
I have what is lovingly called a "breakfast nook." But it is tiny. I use it as an office. I have a cafe table that seats 2 in my living room.
I have never had a dishwasher, though I would love one.
