I don't know what your experience has been like up until this point, but the market as awful for renters.
Maybe go have a look. You wouldn't want to miss out on something and end up waiting ages for another one.
I'm definitely going to have a look. I'd also rather have a certain place to live than hold out for perfection and end up homeless. But I also don't want to just grab the first thing available and end up somewhere that I don't feel happy.
I do have a couple of months up my sleeve, so it will probably end up being about how I feel when I see it in person. There is always that element you can't really tell untill you are there - something to do with the way light falls and air flows and whether you can see sky when you look out the window.
