I stayed one month in the room and really enjoyed it. While working at NUS I had a 10 min walk to the shuttle bus of the campus and a bus stop across the street. You must plan a longer journey though to get to the main attractions and the city centre.
The family was very warm and welcoming and showed me around in the area. Deposit of the baggage for a few days was also possible and my sister was allowed to stay for a short-term visit. I definitely recommend the room to those working or studying at NUS.
