How much nightlife do you want at your doorstep?
Separate wanting to go out from wanting to live above a busy venue. Make two visits: one on a work morning and one at the time you normally come home. Check bedroom orientation, balcony noise and the trip back from your preferred evening spots.
For a couple of late nights a month, a comfortable home with occasional taxi trips may suit you better than paying to be beside the action every day. If you meet friends most evenings, local convenience may matter more.
Remote work changes the shortlist
A home office deserves the same attention as a commute. Check daylight, usable desk space, building works and the internet service available to the specific apartment. A second bedroom and a well-shaped living room are not interchangeable if you take calls all day.
Compare equal homes before comparing districts
Keep bedrooms and property type fixed in the area comparison. Dated median rents are a starting point, not today's asking rent. Check at least two current unit quotes with the same furnishing and payment terms before deciding that one area fits your budget.
