For rental, compare smallest practical layout against maintenance fee and furnishing budget.

Unit Stack / Facing Guide
Ask for available stack, floor level, facing, afternoon sun exposure and nearby road/noise direction.
For Danga Bay, Johor Bahru, compare convenience against privacy, view and traffic movement before choosing a unit.
Shortlist at least two layouts so you have a backup if the preferred stack is taken.
