Yay Tina! It sounds really nice...I'm so happy for you! Both mine and my bf's first apartments were pretty much dives, so I'm glad you were smart to look around and find something that suits you.
About the laundromat thing, I had to go to a laundromat for about two years while I lived in my old building, it had laundry but it was really gross and people stole your clothes and it was just really bad. I found a really cute laundromat not too far away, with a cafe and video games and areas to study and stuff and it was actually really nice. Sorta a change to get away for awhile...I'm sure there are places like that it your area rather than just going to those little holes in the wall that just have a few machines and maybe a pop machine
Good luck with everything, moving can be expensive but I'm sure you'll do fine
