I would have gladly gotten rid of one of the three bedrooms just to expand the bathrooms (and kitchen) more. The complex did have a huge pool, spa and sauna, all waiting to fall into neglect as these things in complexes here usually do (or at least to close after a child drowns in it)." This is definitely something to keep in mind. Once they've got you, they let the place slide. I had a membership at Anya around a decade. It went from being a beautiful gym (when they were signing people up to memberships) to a place I had to leave due to maintenance issues. When I look for apartment, I want one that comes without facilities (that I never use) and security guards (who do nothing). Right now, I pay NT$1700 a month in fees for this sort of thing. When our intruder alarm accidentally was set off and could not be turned off, I had to go down and get a security guard because they simply couldn't be bothered to come. The guy said: "It's hard to know if it's a thief or not." It's even harder if you don't go look. I've seriously got to blog about these guys. Good post. “The bathrooms in the apartments were too small. I would have gladly gotten rid of one of the three bedrooms just to expand the bathrooms (and kitchen) more.
