In NYC, M&M Pest Control does free insect ID:

They are bedbug specialists, and athough you may think a pest control company might make you want to believe you have bedbugs, according to their Google reviews they have dissuaded a few people who thought they had bedbugs but actually didn't.

I had to comment because I too lived in Manhattan as the only girl with three brothers in an apartment that looked very similar to the layout you now have! Since that's how I lived in my formative years, that's exactly the size that seems perfect to me. Plus most of my friends lived in similar sized apartments.

At first I roomed with my youngest brother but then the boys all went together and I had my own room. It's true that we eventually moved to the "country" because of my brothers (one of them now lives in Colorado), but I came back to the city as soon as I could.

I once hid behind the couch to see how long it would take for anyone to notice I was missing - I was there from lunchtime until dinner before they noticed - and I post that incident just to show that we were not on top of each other, and a person could in fact get "lost."
