lovely home but please watch the lillies on the coffee table! Lillies are extremely poisonous to cats.

housebun - I couldn't agree more.

As a pre-vet student I attended the NYC house rabbit scoiety's care conference last year and it was really interesting! Prior to the conference I had little to no knowledge of rabbit care but I learned a lot. Perhaps there is a similiar society or organization in SF that could be of help in answering questions? From what I gathered, rabbits are not easy to take care of (not as easy as say, a cat) but the owners found them to be incredibly loving and rewarding pets. They can be very social creatures but they are animals of prey and they do think you are going to eat them (at first). Rabbits should not be in a cages exclusively and they will chew on your furniture. However, I think most owners found ways to keep them contained in certain rooms or in areas of their apartments so that there wasn't hay EVERYWHERE. You should also do research about an apropriate vet for your rabbit before getting one. Many vets have limited knowledge of rabbits and may not know how to best treat them (and their specifies specific ailments). Most owners at the care conference took their rabbits to Vets that specialize in exotic animals (so not your average dog/cat vet) which may be difficult to find.

We have three cats and use two litter boxes full of World's Best. I actually enjoy the "organic" smell and the best part is that my kitties no longer smell like nasty fake perfume all the time. I also don't have have to worry that while cleaning themselves they will injest clay and silica dust and mine don't track it too far out of the bathroom. I keep a dustpan near the box and clean up every day or so. I also love that is flushable. If our septic system can handle human poop, it can handle cat poop. It's way better than sitting in a landfill somewhere.

hejiranyc - Thanks for the info. "Market rate" for my apartment is around $2300 (which is rediculous for the brooklyn neighborhood I live in) and I pay $1275. Should be interesting.

Comments like those above are why I stopped reading AT for the most part.
If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all. Get a hobby that doesn't include tearing other people down. This person is clearly proud of her apartment and I think she's done an excellent job of making it "hers." If its not to your taste then keep it to your self. sdl;fkhsd.

/end rant.

I'm sure everyone above gave really great advice so here's some UNcommon advice. Let them call the cops. Not sure how noise complaints are handled in LA but in NYC (brooklyn to be exact) we've called the cops on our old loud neighbors all the time. IF they actually showed up, they'd bang on the door, tell them to be quiet and that was it. Sometimes they didn't answer their door and then the cops would just leave.
I don't condone loud behavior (heck I moved out of an apartment because of awful, loud neighbors) but I'm just saying.

I'll second the jane jacobs comment - a must read. Really makes you think differently about mixed use properties.

Ha, this is pretty much exactly where I am from.

Wow, this is the first entry I have felt compelled to comment on. I love everything! Fabulous job :)
