So, we've seen three apartments today. What are your initial thoughts, especially comparing the one on Elm Street with the one on Maple Avenue?

Well, the Elm Street apartment definitely has more space and the natural light is fantastic. But the kitchen felt a bit dated, and the building doesn't have many amenities.

You're right about the kitchen. It would likely need some upgrades. As for amenities, it focuses more on larger living spaces. How about the Maple Avenue unit then?

The Maple Avenue apartment felt much more modern, and I loved the gym and the concierge service. The downside is the size; it's quite a bit smaller, and the second bedroom is really tiny.

Yes, its appeal is definitely its modern amenities and prime location. Given your budget and your priority for two decent-sized bedrooms, the size difference is a valid concern.

Exactly. The third one, on Oak Street, was a good compromise on size, but the noise from the street was a real deal-breaker for me.

Understood. So, it sounds like spaciousness and a quieter environment are higher priorities than modern amenities or building services. Is that correct?

Yes, that's spot on. And the budget is pretty firm for any potential renovations as well.

Okay, that clarifies things greatly. Based on this feedback, I'll refine our search and send you some new listings that align more with these preferences. Perhaps we should focus on properties with renovation potential rather than move-in ready, to better fit your budget and space needs.
