Just think about it...my rate for master room to mid size room to single room...is between rm600 to rm360 only... siap full furnish(in room) utitily bills like electricity, water, broadband all in fixed also

Ya I wrote this based on my experience. Last time my gf wanted me to buy a 600sqft studio instead of a 900sqft 3-bedroom so I had to figure out with all these problems. Now she's happy with the 3-bedroom she told me that luckily we didn't buy the studio. =D

Ya if you imagine based on show unit sure enough one, the size is like a standard hotel room. But in real life not like that, because:

Hotel
1) You only bring clothes for a few days.
2) You send your dirty clothes to laundry or wash them at home.
3) You only bring 1-2 pairs of shoes.
4) You only bring some snacks.
5) Room service will clean your room daily.
6) You don't cook because you have your breakfast at the hotel's cafe, lunch and dinner at a nearby restaurant.
7) You read newspapers and use your laptop on the desk.
8) Your gf spend the morning in front of the beautiful makeup table so she can hang out with you in her most beautiful look.
9) You take bubble bath with your gf.
10) The room is cool and comfort because you leave the aircon on for whole day.
11) In the evening you and your gf take a walk around the pool and use all the facilities like gym, sauna and etc.
12) You hug your gf beside the window at night and look at the stars, the night view of the city and make promises.
13) Before you sleep, you just turn off the lights and TV.
14) If your parents/ friends visit you from far, they can stay over by adding additional beds or just sleep on the box spring.

Soho/ Studio
1) You and your gf need to squeeze all the clothes, bags, towels, underwears into the tiny wardrobe, with an ironing board laying on it and an iron on the floor, and soon all the built-in storage is full and you will have to get those big & ugly storage box from Aeon/ Giant.
2) You need a rack beside the window (which might block the TV) to hang your washed clothes or hang it on the window grille (smell of "Fab"ulous morning "Breeze" all over your unit), and a washing machine either in your bathroom or your kitchen.
3) You will need a shoe rack, which is only a few steps away from your bed, with your dirty shoes on top/ underneath the rack because your gf uses up all the space.
4) Your tiny kitchen cabinet is full of snacks, instant noodles, soy sauce, salt, sugar, milo, canned food, biscuits and a value pack 20-rolls toilet paper on top of the cabinet. Oh ya don't forget the rice cooker, cups, plates, bowls, spoons, forks, chopsticks and other cookwares.
5) You need basic tools to clean your "house", e.g. broom/ vacuum cleaner, dustpan, mop, cloths, cleaning detergents, you will have no choice but to keep those tools in your beautiful toilet.
6) You give your gf a surprise candle light dinner on a tiny table and hope for a happy ending after that, but you and your gf end up changing and washing the bed sheet because the smell of steak is all over it.
7) You can't do much on your desk because there are laptop, mouse, speakers, internet modem, stationery, magazines, books, bills, vouchers, water bottles, snacks, air fresheners, phone chargers and etc with a bag hanging on your chair.
8) The makeup table is basically a pasar malam stall with all types of her renovation tools, cosmetics, skin care products, lotions, combs, perfumes, jewelry, hair dryer, hair curler, hair wax, hair spray and etc.
9) You and your gf don't spend more than 20 minutes in the bathroom because the mop inside the toilet is smelly, sometimes with lizard/ cockroach running around.
10) The electric bill is so expensive so you'll be using electric fan most of the time, oh ya you will need extra space for a table fan because the ceiling fan alone is not enough.
11) You and your gf use the swimming pool/ facilities once or twice a year, because you feel so tired after work and you don't have the mood to do so.
12) You and your gf spend few minutes in front of the window every night, to hang your washed clothes and bath towels.
13) Before you sleep, you need to pack all the rubbish and throw it to the refuse chamber because if you don't the smell of char-kuey-teow that you packed for your dinner will be all over your room and cockroach might disturb you in your sleep.
14) You don't have space to keep the additional mattress and even if you do, there is not much space to lay the mattress.

too small + rental mostly is working professional that stay away from kl. I suspect this is to be a minority group.

the bigger problem with rental if you want to rent is that a big market for foreign rental..black/Pakistan/Egypt etc.


your house will end up a vice den in most cases
