So that warm weather I had yesterday? Is gone. Supposed to drop into the 30s today. It's already dropped at least 10 degrees since 6 am. Windy.
And yet? My office is too warm so I have the window cracked open.
Hey, if it means I don't have to read any more, woo and, might I add, a big hoo.

Make sure the plumbing works. No, seriously, turn on a couple faucets, flush the toilet. See if the heat in the water comes up fast or if you're waiting and waiting. Flip light switches, too.
Kevin, This? I did not look for in the place I've lived for 8 years. Still waiting multiple minutes for hot water...finally purchased a 'hot pot' for the bathroom sink so that I can wash my hands in something other than icecubes.
Also, look around the perimeter for possible noise sources. It's hard to tell when you are only there for a short period...but give a look anyway.
Smells. Take a deep whiff in the hallways for cooking smells, smoke, rubbish.
But beyond all the cautions...good luck!

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
I remembered to wear my heavy coat. I didn't need it this morning, but I will by this evening, when it's supposed to be in the 20s.

I always check the water pressure in the shower. Check where and how many outlets/phone jacks.
More personal stuff - i.e., matters to me, but maybe not to you: See if you can tell whether the neighbors have a direct view - I like having all my windows open, so I try to not be directly facing anybody. How many hoops will you have to jump through to do laundry?

Most important: don't take the word of the rental agent for anything, Even if they're completely honest, they're probably dealing with enough properties that they could be very misinformed.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Nutella is one of those things that almost everyone else likes but me, like bacon, isn't it?
Only crazy people like Nutella. It tastes like dirt.
I'm viewing a flat today. Anybody got any advice on the kind of things I should look for?
Bring a nightlight and plug it into the outlets to make sure they all work.
Last night's GG outfits seemed to fall into two categories -- bedhead+uglydress, or OMGWTFHAIRSPRAY.
