Mini's place feels a bit like a tropical island retreat. Every morning the doors to the very large veranda are flung open, and it's incredibly relaxing to listen to the birds and the gentle thwap of the ceiling fans as you drink your coffee. There's a good view of the pool from the veranda, and the pool looked like it was perhaps a full 25m length. A handful of residents use it to swim laps each morning. As indicated in the description, it's about a 3/4 mile walk from the MRT station. This makes the place feel quite tranquil and peaceful after a busy day downtown taking care of business. Within that distance and on the way back from the metro station are a hawker center, 24 hr grocer, and some Greenwood Avenue shops and restaurants. Mini provides lots of details on how to use the public transit, but it's also easy to hail a cab or jump on a bike sharing bicycle. This is a perfect place to stay if you are looking to unwind from the hustle and bustle of the city!
