Apartment touring for 1-beds in NYC

I'm getting my apartment all to myself in New York City, and I toured multiple places in Chelsea to find the right fit. So this first place was very spacious. I was really impressed by the size of the living room. It was the only place with a washer dryer. That does not count for the fact that there is very little natural lighting because it faces another building. Any unit under 7K is going to be facing that. So I ran, I refused to live in a prison. This corner unit, it had wow factor. It had windows all over every single wall. I was kind of obsessed with the view, but clearly this living room was there's a pole in the middle of a PTSD. I just had PTSD because I've had living rooms for the past few weird layouts. I clearly love the view and the shelving in the bathroom was a nice touch, but I cannot justify the price. But I did find a place that felt like the right. This had the most spacious kitchen and an island, which I hadn't seen in many places. It still had four to ceiling windows and a nice corner area, which was great and a spacious living room that I am in love with. And natural light really sold it. So I put in an application. I'll have updates soon.
