graet point Al Williamson...as a personal rule, i have stayed away from buildings where one tenant is on top of another..for one thing, the noise as al said..another is plumbing leaks from one apartment down into the other..if a tenant keeps their shower curtain open, it will eventually leak down into an apartment below...if it leaks into their kitchen below,they see the damage and hopefully stop...if it affects another tenant, they may not realize or it care to change their bad habits
