It's more like an office than an apartment, and one of your team describes it as looking "oddly unlived in." It isn't the final boss fight, but the EliteMooks will come after you.

* The last mission of ''VideoGame/HitmanAbsolution'' takes place at the top of an upscale housing complex. One method of killing the final boss's moll, Layla ("I should've been a nun... But I like to fuck."), is to spike her food with a poison frog extract, conveniently on display in the boss' showroom. This causes Layla to hallucinate and leap off the building while attempting to fly. Whoops.
