The best is a raised 1st floor with no neighbors under you imo still get good natural light no people peeking in your windows easily since they re above eye level you can walk around as late as you want without worrying about pissing off anyone living below you moving and bringing in groceries is a breeze with so few stairs.
You won t be doing that every day unless you mean carrying groceries etc.

Since his place is located on the first floor and comes with a decent sized yard with foliage he tells me he has a problem with heavy mosquito infestation on top of that the interior of the house is extremely humid especially during summer told me he could smell mildew.
That said i like to think that being so close to the street and in easy view of onlookers discourages cat burglars.
Unless we re home we don t leave our windows open which can make it a bit stuffy.
Been in search for a lane house apartment a friend that has recently moved in one 3 months ago advises me against it.
