Richard, the gregarious host of East Coast hideaway was flexible with our booking. We had to shift out by a day last minute and extend by a week later, and he made it easy. Rabbit Carrot Gun, his pub downstairs had a great coffee and food. The locale (Katong) is very cool - very cosmopolitan. The room was quirky, and although the toilet didn't have door, it was quite comfortable. It was serviced twice a week and had a good washing machine and adequate kitchen facilities. It was good for a long stay.
