There is just as much dirt on light floors as there is on dark floors. Although dark floors do show more dust, I like having ebony floors because it helps me know that my floors are really clean, rather than just superficially so.

"But is it just too empty to feel like home?"

For some people, "home" is having lots of "stuff" and knick-knacks.

For others, "home" is spare and modern.

A cat smell so funky that your guests are uncomfortable? Constantly blowing your runny nose? A landlord that hasn't fixed a problem that can't be fixed absent some major renovation.

A little perspective, please. This is *not* a dream apartment.
