Came here looking for this comment. To the sibling: meh, they’re alright. The big windows are nice, but there’s a bunch of downsides - especially if it hasn’t been remodeled.

Some things remodeling can’t change, either. Like the lack of central air, and instead heat being piped under the floors (doesn’t work out so well in practice).

I agree, though. They do look cool and they’re very minimal… but the reality on the ground is again a bit lackluster.
