So... gotta ask; what's the point of having a apartment? It's not like V gets any bonuses for sleeping there, and the cache is nice and all for storing Iconics, but that pretty much sums up all your get out of your apartment.
There needs to be an incentive to return to your apartment. Maybe make it to where you have to use the internet in your room to learn up on the location of your gigs, sleeping gives you bonuses to your stats, the cache is fine, eating a meal grants a longer/better boost, etc. Just something that makes your apartment WORTH returning to. Heck, your love interest moves in to your apartment or at least can be found in your apartment. The shower is just RP, make it so that cleanliness impacts your social (I'm a katana build right now, I'm pretty sure nobody would want to talk to someone covered in blood).
I know the cellphone has it's purposes, but maybe your apartment is the only place you can select certain gigs. How about making crafting and upgrading be something that requires a workbench that you have in your apartment?
There's a lot of potential for the apartment being more than just a idle location you may occasionally visit. I'm hopeful that CDPR can do something to make it worth returning to your apartment after Act 1.
