I understand you are looking to rent the apartment I listed?
I am, I do have some questions
Sure.  What can I help you with?
the listing says it is close to downtown, is the including nightlife? Bars clubs and the like?
Yes, the downtown area is quite lively.  There's quite a few bars and restaurants.  There's also a couple nightclubs that get pretty popular on Thursdays and Saturdays.
Great, so it could get a bit noisy on the weekends, could we work on the price as I will need to invest in new curtains to help keep the noise down, say 1600?
Well it's not far from the downtown (as in a 10 minute walk/5 minute drive), but it's far enough away so as to not be disturbed.  $1600?  I'm sorry but no apartments are listed for that price in this area.  We have an abundance of amenities.  The apartment really sells itself.  The lowest I will take is $2000.
There are several available that are larger for less and with the high ceilings utilities will be higher, 1700?
I'm sorry, but we are too far apart in price.  I do have a few others interested, as units in this building rent very quickly.  Just look over all that's included!  AND we allow pets!
