I live around the corner. Almost all shops/stores in the city centre that have windows above them have apartments up there. Too much money to be made. Neither me nor my neighbours are registered with the RTB nor BER rated though. If it can fit a bunk bed, it can be rented.

Some of em are used for storage for the shop beneath it but again, money talks so a large majority were converted to apartments in the last few years

What are rents like in such a central location, do you have your own room and how many people sharing?
