I stayed with Suan Khim and her wonderful family for 10 weeks during an internship at the NUS. I will be forever grateful for the warm welcome and amazing hospitality Suan and her family showed me during this time. Actually, it could not have been any better
I had a beautiful, perfectly clean room with a balcony and with both air conditioner and a fan. I shared a lovely clean bathroom with the other guest. The room is exactly as in the pictures. It is very bright and you have a lovely view outside the back of the house. The whole house was always extremely clean and tidy. I also had a little kitchen corner and a fridge which was a great advantage.
I also wish to thank the housekeeper, Minah, for tidying my room nearly every day and for washing my clothes - I so greatly appreciated the lovely neatly folded pile of freshly washed clothes on my bed, thank you so much Minah.
The whole family is extremely nice and friendly and I felt very welcome straight away. They kindly invited me for chilli crab one evening - thank you for this amazing treat - and I was also invited to take dinner with the family at their house a few times, which I thought was extremely nice. Suan was always there if I had questions and was always very helpful. You could have a chat with the family at any time but they also let you do your own thing. Everything was very easy going. On the first day they took me for a drive and showed me the grocery store and my faculty at the University. This kind gesture really helped me to settle in immediately. The University is within walking distance and the bus stop is only two walking minutes away. There are also two very nice parks very close to this house.
Staying with Suan Khim and her family made my 10 weeks in Singapore such a pleasant and special experience - my sincere thanks to Suan and her family for your ever so friendly welcome, for your kindness (also for your care and the beautiful food when I had a cold). I hope we will meet again one day in the future –I definitely recommend this place to the full.
