The energy label is D, which is common for a pre-war apartment. It means the home is not particularly energy-efficient, so heating costs will be higher than in a modern home. In the neighbourhood, 30% of homes have a label D or lower, so this is typical for the area.
The nearest train station is 2.4 km away, which is about a 30-minute walk or a short bike ride. This makes it convenient for commuting to other cities, though you'll need a bike or bus to get there.
