Most importantly, don't use the cheapest tile from the DIY store. Our last rental apartment had tile where the glaze had already chipped off in large areas, like the glaze off a gingerbread man because of falling cutlery. After a year, the floor looked like it had been hit with a hammer.

I also like wood floors better because they can be repaired.

I would tile the kitchen, hallway, and bathroom with the same type of tile, and make the floor in the rest of the apartment wood.
