Some things to ask about when looking for an apartment: street/neighbor noise levels, if there is AC/heater, insulation (some places stay very cold all the time), average electricity cost per month, closest metro station, amount of natural light and whether or not the electricity goes out. Many apartments have old wiring and as a result, you can't turn on more than 2 things in the apartment at the same time without the fuse blowing out.
