Pros: safe, excellent location, really close to a bunch of the best museums, the famous Raffles hotel, on a historic Hainanese street with many bars, excellent and diverse restaurant options within a block’s walk, and near a bus stop with access to anywhere you want to be basically. Concierge service is so responsive and friendly and complimentary laundry is a big win especially after sweaty days.
Cons: Most alarming con the apartment is the shower situation or lack thereof. If all you want after a long day of sweating in Singapore’s relentless heat is a nice shower and the insurance of feeling clean, do NOT come to this apartment. It actually ruined the trip a bit for me even though the concierge service did offer different apartments after I asked for help, my trust was already broken so I didn’t want to be troubled with another move and a similarly awful shower situation, given they don’t show pictures of the shower in any other apartment either. The rain forest shower head is not connected to the heated water line and the nozzle shower head has extremely weak water pressure, like you honestly might be better of buying a bucket and filling it with warm water and using it to assist your cleaning routine that way.
The apartment is small despite it being a loft. It is not fun to walk up and down the stairs to your bed after a long day of walking or a stiff legged morning. Might be perfect for one person but too narrow for two, especially if you have big suit cases.
