My last apartment (1998) was 900 sq. ft., 2 bedroom, 1-1/2 baths, living
room, eat-in kitchen and laundry area (stackables, also in the kitchen). A
third bedroom wouldn't have made any sense in that limited space. As it
was, though, for me it was plenty roomy; the 2nd bedroom was my office/extra
storage space.

As for kili, I'd find some way to organize the "computer stuff" in the 2nd
bedroom so the space is usuable. Covered plastic storage bins are cheap at
Wally-World. And carpet shouldn't be a problem. Persia's litterbox is on
carpet in the hall by my 2nd bathroom (there's a sort of recessed area next
to the bathroom door by the utility closet door). I bought one of those
cheap plastic carpet runners to place underneath it. It's cut to fit well
outside the boundaries of the box. No problems But then again, she has
3 cats to my one.
