DO NOT RENT THE FIRST FLOOR IF YOU ARE A LIGHT SLEEPER This apartment is very old, and the wooden floors make loud noises whenever the upstairs neighbor walks around. You can even hear snoring and when they open and close their drawers. There is basically no sound insulation. My upstairs neighbor wakes up at 5 AM to do household. The footsteps are so loud. It sounds like walking in an old treehouse, like the wooden floor might break. I have to wear earplugs to sleep. In addition, some tenants do not pick up their dog’s poo. During the summer, there are a lot of flies, mosquitoes, and cockroaches. It makes me not want to open the windows in the summertime. The kitchen has a drop ceiling that is full of ants and bugs, which is very unpleasant. Overall, because of the noise and cleanliness issues, I would not recommend renting the first floor especially if you are a light sleeper.
