PROS
The apartment was fully renovated in the last five years. There are pretty views of treetops and the cityscape. With abundant closet space, it comfortably suits two people despite the smaller square footage.
CONS
There’s currently a tenant in place, with the lease set to expire in January 2024. The kitchen is narrow and the tile flooring stops at an awkward spot, misaligned with the breakfast bar. The building lacks amenities.
