Tracy's apartment
You come into Tracy's apartment down a short corridor into the living room. This corridor is fairly cluttered: Tracy keeps a bicycle there. From a layout perspective, the corridor runs between the kitchen and bathroom; but only the former has a door off the corridor itself. This opens to the right side of the apartment (as you face from the living room). Tracy usually keeps the door open, pushed back against the wall.
It's just an efficiency kitchen: the fridge is by the door, with cupboards from there, running round the end, presumably with the stove and dishwasher
underneath, though hard to see from the angles that got filmed.
There's a hatch between the kitchen and the living room, with a pair of bar stools in the living room by the hatch. They provide a convenient place for a guest to dump her coat. On the counter, Tracy keeps her phone, an answering machine, and a notepad.
On the far side of the living room from the entrance, bookshelves run along the wall from the kitchen to a fireplace - though there are not that many books on the shelves, which hold a miscellany of items. At the far end of the room on the same side, Tracy has a small desk up against the outer wall of the apartment. The outside wall of the living room never really appeared on screen; but I assume it was there (i.e. a full four-sided set), since the corresponding bedroom wall did get filmed.
In the centre of the room is a large square glass-topped coffee table.
On the other side of the living room are doors to the bedroom and bathroom. When the door is open, the view from inside the bedroom cuts right across - either to the fireplace or the kitchen, depending on the angle.
Perversely, except for the bar stools, no seating in the living room ever appeared on screen. (The truth is, of course, that Tracy's apartment was only used in a relatively small proportion of the episodes, in only the one season of the show.) Anyway, there must've been somewhere in the living room to sit down. So I've put in a sofa along the wall from the bedroom door (i.e. opposite the fireplace), and a TV in the corner on the outside wall.

Tracy's Bedroom
Tracy's bedroom has two doors, one (obviously) to the living room, the other
to the bathroom. This means that one can get to the bathroom either from the bedroom or directly from the living room.
The head of the bed is by the outside wall of the room, the bed jutting into the room. Above it, there is a window. From the angle when Tracy looks
out, it is clear that her apartment is on the second floor.
We never got to see the far wall of the bedroom; but logically it must exist (in theory, even if the wall was never built for the set). It seems reasonable to assume that there is a clothes closet on that wall, probably built in rather than a separate free-standing piece of furniture. One may also assume the presence of one or more chests of drawers, most likely along the wall that is common with the bathroom. There is also a small table with a lamp on it that stands near the door to the living room.

Tracy's Bathroom
In Tracy's bedroom, along the outer wall on the door-side of the bed, there is a mirror. Angle it right, and you can see into the bathroom, which is opposite the foot of the bed.
This doesn't seem to be a very large bathroom. At any rate, it seems to have a shower, rather than a bath. Tracy keeps a bath towel hanging on a hook on the bathroom side of the door.
