Should I move in to this new place? I don't know what to do?

So I have been searching craigslist for about two weeks getting pretty obsessed with finding a place to live. I have to be out of the place I live now by the end of the month and its getting down to the wire. I have gone and looked at about six rooms now and probably sent out a hundred e-mails to people. I pretty much have to move in a week. I have come across all types of good and bad. So far out of six places I have been to, only this last one I saw yesterday wants me to move in. Its a really nice place everything is perfect about it other then the fact that it has a super hippy vegan vibe. I can afford it, it has features in the room that I have always wanted, utilities included, nice positive people, good common space, fancy kitchen, good location (close to boyfriend, transportation, and work) and a beautiful back yard. The only down side is that it has a meat free and possibly animal product free kitchen. I am basically a vegan but I am not committed to the ideology behind it and I still eat animal products sometimes. I dont think it would be a big deal to not have animal products in the refrigerator if I lived there because I have a fridge at work and by boyfriends house. I rarely buy them anyways. The stuff thats holding me back is more about the possibility of personality conflicts, I am just afraid that Im too conservative for them. I grew up on a commune and have a total hippy background but thats not who I am now. I still have a lot of the same morals and ideas but I dont look or feel like one. I keep telling my self that if they are willing to accept me then I should be able to accept them. Everyone tells me to go with my instinct or that Ill know if its right but I have an anxious personality and I dont know how to get past the anxiety to get to the gut feeling. Should I just do it? Time is running out and I think I would be happy there and most likely as long as I am respectful about the vegan stuff they will be respectful about my more mainstream (hipster-ish) vibe. I want to be in a healthy environment , am I just being commitment phobic? I'm someone who cant even order at a restaurant without worrying if I should have gotten something else...
