Pests, e-bike alarms, and pollution BUT convenient, good size units
Pros
The size was great for a couple who were working from home part time. Nice big windows. Hard to get more convenient than literally above the station.
Cons
In a year we had mice maybe 4 times. The air purifiers struggled to clean the air without super regular cleanings due to the traffic and the train station. Someone had an e-bike parked nearby that went off almost every time a train passed for weeks before we left.
Advice to the owners
Deep inspection of the unit to find where the mice are coming in. Better sealing of windows.
Loud but spacious apartments
Pros
The building is small, with only three apartments. The apartments are spacious, have good natural light, hardwood floors, huge kitchens, and are well taken care of. Building management is nice and relatively responsive.
Cons
Most importantly, the noise from the street is VERY LOUD. You can hear everything from all parts of the apartment and the building is next to a night club. There are the occasional pests, the heat occasionally goes out during the winter, and the apartments are just a bit old / rough around the edges.
