Amy you are an archive of useful threads, thanks that was a very interesting read
Some of the criteria I have for an apartment includes carpets and the ability to place a bed against an unshared wall. Also that it is in a 'young professionals' area, ie. mainly single people, at work all day, busy social lives.
Its been very hard to find good discreet place always had some problem with neighbors
Ah that's another thing, staying discreet. It's a very important factor, and it seems as though an apartment block with so many flats it would be less likely people would notice anything or be able pinpoint it to you. You would be like a tree in a forest.
But with it being residential, the consequences of being noticed could be greater, like trouble with police, after complaints etc?
In this sense could a flat in a commercial area be a better choice for staying out of trouble, shopkeepers may be more likely to notice but less likely to complain, and the authorities may be less bothered because it is not a residential area?
