QUOTE(C31 @ Jan 22 2013, 06:10 PM) I think 80-100sf just nice. Selling at < 2k psf in cbd prima area. Come with 5 star facilities 80-100 sf ?  It can only be nice if it goes along the line like this almost 110 sf all tucked in compact space in Japan http://youtu.be/BWJdp7eKhso But it is really a bit claustrophobic |
