I think this would be far more interesting if clients actually got to view apartments in the middle of the night. That way clients can see how nosiy and safe these apartments are. Showing apartments at night is also an opportunity to guage the intelligence level of clients.

This actually happened to me when I was showing a rental several years back when I showed an apartment to to client at night.

Client (In a snarky pissed off tone of voice.)

"Where are the sun flooded views?"

Grunt (In a you'd better get married now before your looks go because no man will marry you for your intelligence tone of voice.)

"It's after 6pm."

That was the last time I ever showed an apartment at night.
