Also, anyone with experience with radiant floor heating? Do you need to set the temp like a day in advance?

Assuming it's an apartment style condo with multiple floors above and around you - I wouldn't bother for as radiant heat takes eons to respond - like 4-5 hours. Also, most condo boards would rather you not drop your unit temps in case you drop too low that something on an exterior wall freezes.
Honestly, I'd just set it at 21 and let it ride..... I've always believed that thermostats in radiant heat condos are like the close door button of an elevator... total placebo button.
