applefreak 1 Report post Posted July 20, 2007 as in the FS is not too bad, but compared to BR3BR3 is much better guess that's why i picked that room immediately when we entered the unit guess most prob will ask my parents to take BR3BR3 is the 'longevity' spot of the whole unit so better for the elderlypsychologically they'll feel better, and i won't feel guilty if anything were to happen to them Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
