David's place is in a great neighborhood and convenient location. There are MRT stations within a 10 min walk as well as a few coin operated laundromats, grocery store and more than a few convenience stores.
The room itself is at the back of the building, which is up against a highway, so there is the sound of cars driving by that is quite regular. I am a light sleeper, but didn't seem to have a problem with it. The building is clean, safe and quiet overall (i.e., didn't have any problem with noise from neighbors or other tenants).
