I recommend this place if you are staying with a group of no more than four and you will be taking public transport.
Good:
+ Easy to walk 7 minutes (Circle Line) or 11 minutes (Green Line) to MRT. Plenty of bus stops around. Easy access to Katong and East Coast park.
+ Rooms are well-lit and all air con units were all working.
+ Nice balconies and a small but clean pool on the rooftop.
+ No issues with fridge, washer, dryer, oven or stovetop - just remember to turn the power on.
Disappointing:
- The 24-hour parking involves waiting for Michael to lift the gantry via a call to his phone. If he is not by his phone, you may be left waiting a long time. We waited a minimum of one second and a maximum of an hour and a half. This is why I cannot recommend this flat if you plan on driving, or at least until Michael buys a parking pass so you don't have to dial his number every time you come home.
- The private lift is no longer allowed to be used. There are signs all over the doors of the apartment warning you of this.
- If you don't mind sleeping on floor mattresses or getting really cozy, you could probably sleep seven. However, if you want the normal amount of space in a regular bed, this apartment sleeps four. (Two singles in two separate rooms, one queen in the master room).
The location is quite good and it was nice to have privacy due to three couples in three different rooms. There are lots of malls, hawker centres and small shops nearby, so it's a good location. Best for groups of four who plan on taking public transport.
