Charming British style house in a quiet, but very convenient side street. Newton Circus was less than 10 minutes walk away, as well as the MRT. Elizabeth is well traveled, and has plenty of good suggestions of places to go. She provided towels and toiletries, which was a welcome surprise as we were traveling quite lightly. The balcony, combined with the ceiling fan, meant we could sleep comfortably despite the heat without needing to use the A/C. Singapore seems to have surprisingly few mosquitos, and we left the balcony door open without a problem. If that doesn't suit you, the A/C works just fine. She also included electrical adapters, which came in handy. You get the feeling Elizabeth has hosted a lot of people over the years, and that experience shows up in convenient details.

The place is a bit difficult to find. It took a while for some taxi drivers to figure out exactly where it was. Elizabeth was helpful when called though, and if you store a map of the destination on your phone it shouldn't be an issue. Part of the charm of the house is its age, but that also means slightly antiquated plumbing. She also lets some of the other rooms out from time to time, so there is a decent chance you will meet other travelers. If you are social, this can be great. We received some good advice, and hopefully passed some on to those who came as we were leaving.

We are easy going travelers, and enjoy experiencing the local life of a city. We had a great time staying with Elizabeth, and would definitely consider staying there again if we have the fortune of passing through Singapore another time.
