Please note: this apartment is on the SMALL side and the building is over 100 years old (meaning: zero insulation between units), so if you are super sensitive to noise this is probably not the place for you. There is a resident who lives directly above with her cat and while they are shoe-free and very considerate, you likely will always be aware when she is home for example.

Both owner AND manager are local business people and residents; NOT a big impersonal investment firm or large management company.
