Same. We live between two floors. Heat rarely is put on, because stove, fridge and dishwasher are enough to supplement what the sandwiched apartments floors already provide

We live between two floors.

I saw this in Being John Malkovich but didn't realize it was a thing in real life. So, like, you live on the 9 1/2 floor or something?

Ha. Meaning we aren't ground floor or top floor, we are sandwiched between two other floors. Barely need to add heat aince we share all the heat that the building has
