Our family (2 adults and 2 girls aged 17 and 11 years) visited Singapore in the 2nd week of April. We normally stay in hotels (3-star category) during our vacations. While there is no denying the advantages of staying in Hotels (breakfast, service, swimming pool, etc), we wanted to try-out an apartment for our short 5-day vacation to Singapore this time for 2 reasons mainly: (1) With children growing up, most hotels want us to have 2 rooms, and that becomes expensive and (2) we wanted to stay and be able have our meals at our convenience. After a lot of research about the location and previous reviews, we decided on Shirley's apartment. And we were not disappointed! In fact, we are so glad that we decided to stay at Shirley's place. The apartment is sufficient for a small family and for those not spending a great deal of time at the apartment. It is located very conveniently from Kembangan MRT station (less than 3 minutes by walk at a leisurely pace), and you can either take the excellent subway (metro) system or the reasonably priced taxis (in fact, for families of 3-4, it is almost the same price to travel by taxi as it is by MRT to most destinations). The apartment had all the amenities that we were looking for - television, refrigerator, microwave, rice cooker, bread toaster, basic utensils and cutlery, dining table and chairs, free WiFi, hair dryer, facility to use a washing machine, facility to cook if necessary, etc. Shirley made sure that we had all the necessities and even gave us a 'little extra'! When my wife wanted an item from the supermarket, Shirley got it for her, which was quite amazing really! If you are looking for a clean and convenient place to stay (short or long stay) in a safe and quiet residential neighbourhood in Singapore, you can't do much better than Shirley's place.
