We stayed here last week (me, hubby, and 2 adolescent kids), and it's PERFECT. We wanted an accessible, relaxing, and somewhat private place, and were lucky to stumble upon Shirley's listing.
The place is in a lovely residential neighborhood. It's not within the city central, but it's 3 mins. away from an MRT station and a couple of bus stops. So it's very easy to get around, as you have several options. We had our own entrance and private room, with a lovely mini-garden outside, so if you just want to relax and listen to the birds, you can.
The food options near the area are also fantastic. There was this fantastic Indian restaurant just 5 mins from the place that served awesome biryani. And a great Chinese place beside it, too. Not to mention a couple of 7-11s in the area where we would buy breakfast which we would microwave back at the place.
There's also a reason why Shirley is a super host. She sent us lots of tips in pictures and documents a week before our trip, e.g., where to buy attraction tickets, MRT cards, etc. We had no trouble finding her place at all, bec of pictures and maps she sent.
She had clear instructions for how to use things. She even lets you use slippers and umbrellas, as long as they're returned. She was out when we got in, but her associate welcomed us. And then when she arrived, she came by to say hello. She was very sweet to kids, even giving them a pack of candy. She'd chat with us whenever we were available, giving more tips about where to eat, etc. Also, she sent over some lovely tea that she made from the flowers in her garden!
We definitely highly recommend Shirley's listing and would come back here again, given the opportunity.
