Besides, you will get some interesting facilities like gym, swimming pool, and sometimes mall. You will also be provided with furniture inside your room that already included with the rent charge. But the price is not cheap indeed, because besides you should pay for the rent you also should pay for other dues, which sometimes will not be as cheap as you live in housings.
