Large but NOISY
Pros
Spacious Old Building Elevator
Cons
The walls and floor are extremely thin, and you can hear neighbors' conversations. Heating radiators are old and make loud clicking sounds that can happen in the middle of the night and wake you up. Also, these do run constantly. Kids are running around uncontrolled by these parents who lack any effort in disciplinary actions and building structure in the households. Rented, the apartment was not ready on the start date, shitty job of painting and venting of fumes, did not clean apartment during for new tenants, and many more. Rent was increased right before signing, had to sign lease because of circumstances. Seems like a predatory practice they do.
Advice to the owners
Add more sounds proofing to apartment and update heating you greedy owners.
