I hate apartments here in Canada because you can always here the people above you walking around and the noise from the flats beside you. We are looking at renting/buying a flat in a village house when we move to HK. At least in a village house there is no one beside you but what about the noise from above? We are looking at the G/F and 2nd floor units. I worry about all the stairs for the 2nd floor unit but then I worry more about the noise living in the G/F.
Can anyone comment?
