Had no problems when staying, in Joe's appartment, two nights in Chinatown, Singapore. The room was small, yes, and it was very hot, so air conditioning, which worked fine, is a must. WC and shower was also available, making it an enjoyable stay. And location is really central, with short access to the MRT. You get what you pay for here, so don't expect more. All in all I recommend this place for one person to sleep :-)
