You can stop looking for a place to stay in Singapore NOW as you’ve just found the perfect location, Elizabeth’s place. I had the chance to stay at her flat for 3 nights on my first-ever Asia trip in early May 2013. I landed on a Saturday evening and despite having dinner and party plans she made sure that she was at home to welcome me, provide me with a quick tour of the flat, and to give me some maps of the city. My room was very spacious (I stayed alone but it can easily fit 2 people), had AC and a fan, a wardrobe to hang my clothes, and a comfortable double-sized bed. She provided me with towels and basic toiletries (shampoo, deodorant, hand cream). She has a shared bathroom and a separate toilet. They were both clean and up to standards. She is a very, very, very good host as she not only provides you with plenty of brochures and maps but she is also happy to share some homemade dishes with you (she cooked a nice vegetable soup when I was there). She also gave me a list of Singaporean dishes that I had to try (carrot cake, laksa etc). A BIG plus is that her place is literally a 5-minute walk from Newton hawker centre ( a good-sized outdoor eatery with plenty of food choices and juice bars, open until very late) and also from Newton MRT. It is in a very central location but in a nice & calm back street. If you feel like a stroll, the famous “shoppers’ heaven”, Orchard street is 15 minutes by foot. All in all, I had a wonderful stay and would definitely come back on my next trip to Singapore. Thank you, Elizabeth!
