These apartments are often modern and well-maintained, with a compact yet efficient layout. The living room and dining area are usually combined into one space, with large windows that offer stunning views of the city skyline. The kitchen is typically small but functional, equipped with essential appliances like a stove, refrigerator, and sometimes a dishwasher. Bedrooms in these apartments are often modest in size, with enough space for a bed and a small wardrobe. Some apartments may feature a master bedroom with an en-suite bathroom.
