    The building is very old and sometimes one of the elevators breaks or sometimes the plumbing is not very good. For a period of at least a couple months when I first moved into my place, I did not have access to cold water and it was summer time - not ideal. In any case, other than occasional inconveniences, the apartment is fine.
