Came here to say this.
Also I noticed people complaining about noise - but my apartment holds noise in really well. I leave my tv on blast and when I stand outside I can't hear it even though there is a window open.
Mine's the opposite.
I can tell when my neighbor is on his treadmill, or when my other neighbors are having sex (and they're not even vocalizing much).
Just depends on the property, and how well it was built.
I lived in an apartment for 3 months and had to tip toe as quietly as humanly possible after 6pm or the person downstairs would bang on the ceiling. And I'm alreat a really quiet person...
A lot of apartments aren't exactly modern. And it doesn't help that people are so eager to call these impractical living spaces "historical".
I hate "historical" building bullshit. I went to go stay in Seattle for a day and a half so I got a room for the night and then the hotel calls me to let me know it's a historical building so they don't have air conditioning.
This was the middle of August so of course I'm like, why did you call me to tell me this instead of listing it on your site you psychos? And the bitch bragged to me about working at a different hotel that charges $600 a room with NO air conditioning.
I couldn't cancel cause they didn't tell me until last minute either.
