I just visited one of the coolest apartments I've ever seen. 23rd floor in Roppongi, great view, nice space....even the elevator was nice, nicer than a lot of apartments I've seen in NY. (The add for the elevator would read something like: Cozy studio, high ceilings, brandnew wood coverings, fully automated. Great location, near everything. Comes with a free flatscreen monitor. Good for student. $1050 plus utilities) I need to investigate how you get apartments like that.
