Ong’s place is a bit far from Somerset MRT station, around 10min walk including an uphill ramp - not very convenient if you have a huge luggage in tow.
Upon arrival at Changi, I contacted Ong asking specific commuting directions to his place. It took him awhile to answer to the point I had to message him again to reply.
Check-in was quick. The room they gave me was apparently at the 4th floor, elevator only reaches 2nd floor and you have to take 30 flight of stairs up to the 4th floor - again not very convenient if you have a huge bag.
Room was okay, wasn’t expecting it to be stellar, but smelled like dried sweat. Fridge, blower, 2 pcs of towels, tissue rolls, and shampoo was available. NO Bath soap / other toiletries.
They don’t provide adaptors so you have to bring your own. Unfortunately there were only 3 electric sockets in the room, 1 was for the fridge, and the other 1 wasn’t even working!
The AC was a bit hot. Flat screen TV was a smart TV so you can access YT/Netflix.
As someone who has been booking Airbnb in other Asian countries (Tokyo, Osaka, Nagasaki, Seoul) for the past five years, my experience with this place is my LEAST FAVORITE. Other hosts I met were very accommodating and friendly and they make sure that you find their place easily (they give directions accurately once you’ve booked).
Not sure I would book this place again.
