Turning off the pilot light and making sure lights are off (or replacing with CFL/LED) are big things, I was amazed at how much heat the pilot light actually gave off.
We lived in a north facing condo, and even with all the windows open there was zero breeze. so that didn't help much.
We bought one of those stand up AC units that vets out the window and it was the best thing, we didn't try to cool the whole condo with it, just our bedroom, and a good night's comfortable sleep is well worth the cost IMO.
