The best part about this apartment is its location. It is very near Daan Forest Park (main reason why we chose it) and near the mrt station. It is 2 minutes from the PX supermarket and has a little children's playground nearby, great for our kids. It's also walking distance to Yong Kang Street, which has lots of eating options and also has a great little park with slides for kids.
Regarding the apartment itself, it was clearly set up as a rental unit. The pictures look nice, however the finishing of the furniture is cheap and the fittings in the kitchen and bathroom are old. The stove looks like it is time to be replaced and the toilet seats could definitely be updated. The doors are repainted but definitely more than two decades old. The air conditioning is new and works well, however as it is not really convenient or possible to ventilate the apartment by opening the windows (due to bugs etc), the only way is to have the air conditioner on all the time when you are in the apartment. When you switch on the air conditioner, it renders the outside kids patio space not usable as the air cons heat up the air and it gets way too hot. The host did suggest that we can take the toys indoors to play but there isn't that much space in the apartment for a few kids.
The other thing to note is that the water pressure is good only if you are using one bathroom at a time. You will need to be careful with kids in the shower as the water can suddenly go very hot or very cold when the tap/ shower is turned on in the other bathroom. I would also suggest to the host to update the bathrooms, the fixture to anchor the showerhead is not movable and this can be quite inconvenient for families with young children.
The beds and beddings were comfortable enough and the space of the apartment was adequate. The Tan Tan family is friendly and responsive, so if they upgraded the apartment with a renovation, I would give this apartment 5 stars. Otherwise, I think its just better for short stays of 1-2 nights.
