PROS

The atrium adds sunlight, but the rest of the apartment has no windows. The apartment feels large. There is a possibility for kitchen extension.

CONS

Currently, through-the-wall air conditioning is supplemented with a window unit because the glass atrium makes it difficult to cool the room. The apartment is dated and the atrium blinds need to be replaced.

PROS

The plumbing and electrical installation were renewed last year and the kitchen was renovated in 2018. Original details from 1910 have been preserved throughout the house.

CONS

The house still needs a thorough renovation, especially on the third floor, where the only full bathroom is located. The kitchen has an odd configuration with a small refrigerator tucked away under the stairs, far from the stove.
