Since this is my first apartment purchase, naturally I'm a little nervous. I'm wondering if we should accept an apartment with an old fridge that needs work because it is...old. I'm also wondering what we can realistically bargain for. Sue and I have been asking for advice from anyone that will listen...
JK asked about whether the super lives in the building and whether there was a washing machine in-house. Yes and no, respectively. Other than that, JK didn't mind the place.
JR didn't seem worried by the 5th-floor walkup. DMG (and others) expressed concern about it.
DS said that he thinks it's a great apartment, and told us we should try to get the owners to paint it for us. He said we should demand that the bathtub be re-grouted and cleaned, and try to fix our surprising lack of countertops (did they not need counter space in the 40's?). He also said we should try for a new fridge.

I agree with DS, and also think that you may be able to negotiate the dishwasher thing given a) the poor state of repair some things are in and b) wtf no counter space?
