Ling's apartment is in a lovely complex in a very nice, quiet residential area of Singapore. It has a great swimming pool, gym, and play area for children. The apartment is close to a bus stop and metro station - which give you quick access to all of Singapore. There is a decent Chinese market next to Ling's community and a petrol station close by, between which you can buy most grocery items you might wish to purchase. Ling and her daughter Kathy were both very hospitable, and it was most comfortable cohabiting with the pair of them. They were always respectful of the fact that we were staying in their home. Ling is a great mother and host; and Kathy is a lovely, bright little girl, and co-host! I would definitely stay with them again, when visiting Singapore. It is worth noting that occasionally Ling and I had trouble communicating, as she prefers to speak Chinese - rather than English. However, Kathy speaks great English (for her age) and could help translate when needed.
