  • Info Context
    • All info were from my 2024 March research.
    • My preferences were on studio or 1b1b with functional kitchen and open view, so below notes might be biased.
    • Most bullet points are just copy-paste from my notebook, so excuse the poor format and scattered comments.
    • I suggest mainly visiting the links to verify details.
