David is a friendly, accommodating host and was very responsive to any requests I had during my stay. The room was comfortable but my only qualms was that the window was facing the main road so it was quite noisy throughout the night -- nothing a pair of earplugs won't fix though.

Balestier Rd. is a famous food street in Singapore, places to try are the Founders Bak Kut Teh, Boon Tong Kee (for chicken rice) and of course -- Balestier Market.

The place is good value but about a 10 minute bus ride to the MRT - I'd recommend staying here if you're on a bit of a tight budget and want to be walking distance from great food.
