Apartment Hunting

It's that time of year to start exploring my options of where I potentially want to live next year. Me and the other females I plan on living with have done our research, looking up apartments in desired locations with the appropriate number of rooms. Today we went around to the various locations we had picked out. To find our way from one apartment to the next we continually had to type in the apartment names and addresses into our phones. After doing this each time, Google Maps provided us with a planimetric view. This view allowed us to easily read the map easily and identify cross streets. At one of the apartments we asked if we could look inside one that we were interested in. Although we could not, we were told that if we went online we could do an online tour which allows the public to have a profile view of the apartment. This is a convenient feature that many apartments have because it gives people the opportunity to view the apartment in a similar manner as if they were actually in the apartment, from the ground and approaching by foot.
