A bathroom window was the worst thing ever i experienced when i first moved to NYC, especially since the window was in the shower. Could never get all the mold and mildew out from the corners. If the window is placed outside the shower area high up then im cool with it.
I prefer the vents. Once someone experiences a working vent they will never go back to a window. Sucks out the bad smells and steam. The only thing that sucks about the vent is that if you have a top floor apartment next to it it may cause vibrations and humming noise in the apartment.

Opinion: Maintenance is key....................
You were not using the right cleaners or you need to scrub harder and more often...............
If you do not have the time.....understood.......a bathroom without a window or a vent added would reduce your maintenance required time.
The cleanest homes left unattended give way to the elements over time if not controlled.
My bathroom is in the front on the house along with my bedroom and living room, I have a real full size window and I love it.
I would never take any apartment ever without a window in a bathroom, that to me is an absolute deal breaker.
I open the top part of the window and have a shelf there with a fan so it can suck the air out, it is perfect after a shower, to remove all the steam, and when it is on during warm months it takes the air from the other rooms and circulates everything perfectly.
I love my bathroom window, and I have a deep ledge and have my plants on it, and sine the window is frosted the plants do very well.c
I'd never live in any apartment without a bathroom window, ever.

Not true.
half the time the vents don't work properly or are that strong at all. they make that annoying humming noise and to me, don't do squat. my office has them in the mens and ladies room here in the office, and the ladies room one was making a terrible noise and started a fire as someone left it on, luckily the droppings from it fell into the toilet bowl and it put itself out. it had happened minutes before the cleaning crew came in in the morning. Some idiot must have left it on all night.
Never would want one of those fans, so i don't agree that what you wrote is good enough to have one. I have never in my life ever been in anyone bathroom where one of those little useless vents worked properly.
if you ant clean fresh air, you open a window. Not spray, not a little vent, but an open window. The open window gives fresh air, thus drying any mold and mildew.. vents do not do that
You need window to circulate air to remove humidity. I am not sure it's by code but bathrooms that don't have windows requires an active running ventilation system such as office bathrooms.
