If you want to live together with a super-friendly family and learning about Singapore from Singaporeans this is the room you have to rent.

I was invited to join the family dinner on the first evening of my 10-day stay (This was a special occasion though, I think I was lucky that they happened to be celebrating :P). I also joined the family for a charity run one morning and had a full afternoon with Mariel and some of her friends visiting museums and having great Pizza.

The room in itself is perfect and is just as tidy as on the pictures. The house maid was doing my laundry for 20SGD which is greatly convenient.

Their house is located around Serangoon gardens which is a pretty quiet area. The area hosts a lot of great food courts and the family will helpfully provide you with great ideas on what to get (Stingray BBQ, Chicken Rice, Malay Satey etc.).

Most of the things about this place is great but it takes some time to get into town. As I've never actually managed to find the direct bus (I call it the unicorn bus, people are talking about it I've yet to see it), I think it took me like 55min to get to the city center. Going by bus and then changing to the MRT.

So, I just ended up traveling with Uber most of the time. Which is like 20mins but costlier of course.
