Recommending this place for people who need a very basic, comfortable, and clean place to stay. The unit has 5 rooms and I was able to get the master's BR with a private bath. The occupants in the other rooms were very nice and friendly, but i seldom see them. The cleaner comes once a week and she is very nice too. I never met the hosts but they were very responsive and easy to talk to via sms.
The mall is just two train stops away. However, if you need to go to the central business district area, you need to allot around 1 hour for travel. Uber/Grab will be quite expensive given the distance from the city but there are other alternative options like the bus and Bukit Gombak MRT which are all so near the apartment.
I was also able to jog around the block with a good view of the Guilin lake. Market, eateries (hundreds of them), fast food (Subway, Pizza Hut, Mcdonalds), two 7-11 branches, and church are all within walking distance. A lot of joggers too in the morning and there were also some at night, and you will feel it's quite safe to go around the block even at late hours.
I never used the kitchen given all the eateries in the area but i think there was a microwave, a boiling pot for water, and a fridge that the guests can use. I was able to use their iron and board which were located in the kitchen/utilities area. Wasn't able to use the washer because there was no dryer and i don't want to hang my clothes at the back balcony. There are also laundry shops nearby so it's not a problem.
But overall, if you need a clean and affordable place with hosts you can trust, then this apartment is for you.
