Water quality note:
We live in the Gunks and water is well known to have minerals including sulfur, so it is normal to feel some smell at times. It might get better or worse depending on the season and quality of the underground water. We do have water treatment systems installed. First stage is a large particle water filter which I usually change every 2-3 weeks. Second stage is a Clack water with filter medium that handles hard water. We also have professional water system service that maintain our water system periodically. Additionally kitchen sinks are equipped with faucet filters (changed monthly) making the water suitable for drinking.

Other guests:
Please take a note that if you rent 2nd floor apartment there might be guests on the 1st floor and you will most probably hear them as it is an old colonial house and installation is not to the modern standards. Also there are double doors between upstairs and downstairs apartment that are securely latched for privacy from both sides.
