Auto, I think that you'll find that the aversion to top floor apartments in Romania has as much to do with the fact that in times of yore the blocks had a flat roof-time structure and were very prone to leaks due to crap construction methods. Particularly true in blocks built in the 80's when things were on a steep downhill slide.
I've noticed that the newbuilds out here quote higher prices for the toip floor these days, selling them as 'penthouse' but I'd still say that such prices would be more negotiable than the intermediate floors.
Personally i never would buy above the 3rd floor because of the local preferences and the fact that I hate lifts. Got stuck in one for 2 hours in Manhattan at the tender age of 9 years old and have been scared of them ever since.
