In terms of amenities it's wonderful to live in the centre, but it's also very busy and not accessible by car. Public transport is excellent. I never feel comfortable walking alone late at night because of all the homeless people and creepy individuals. There should be much more green space in the centre for my liking. It could be so much better. We do have a very nice green courtyard at the apartment complex.

The listing does not mention a garden or balcony. The resident does refer to a 'very nice green courtyard at the apartment complex', so there is shared outdoor space available.
The studio has an A energy label, which is very efficient. You can expect relatively low heating and electricity costs compared to older buildings with lower labels.
