I would lean toward Patchen Place myself. Seems like you want a dog, and they do have a pet policy...but also:
1. You will appreciate that washer/dryer in unit, most likely, unless it's weirdly priced in comparison to a laundromat, or the laundromat is REALLY close by.
2. Having gas included is a HUGE bonus and it's actually cheaper for more space (is this place in a bad neighborhood or is it just kind of awesome?). Gas can really add up (maaybe moreso here but for that matter, you guys have had basically as cold a winter as we have - and it might power the fireplace too depending on the unit) and if you can get a good deal on internet it's a better throw-in than the free wifi.

A lot of these sound good, though. You want to feel comfortable, not have the best amenities, so take a look around and try to envision all your stuff and where it will go. Sometimes it's the kitchen that will make or break a place. ...Or the doorhandles.

The best decision we made about our apartment, randomly? Was to not get cable. We stream everything off of Hulu or SideReel or the network website: we don't accidentally fall into anything, but/and we also don't waste time on TV we don't really want to watch; we don't get overly marketed to; we can't watch sports games or awards shows BUT there are almost always bars, clubs, and community centers with TVs showing those kind of things.
