Fast response from host but towels provided were stained probably due to bulk washing of towels. Other than that, property is well maintained by host and everything is working fine 👍

Spacious, sufficient beds for family of 5, good view - can see sunrise, good location, furniture well maintained, apartment is clean.
Bed quite hard to sleep on, lift takes very long especially during peak hours, have to spiral up the carpark (giddy), door only has number lock, no internal door latch for added security.

Generally clean and well equipped, but can provide more supplies like tissue paper etc. also can mention initially we faced some issues with the appliances, which kept turning off, but it was resolved when we called for assistance and switch the cards

The location is a major plus for this location. Facility is decent. Views at higher floors are nice. Property management staffs are friendly and responsive. They tried their best to make sure my stay is great. Tried to check for me higher floors, but wasn't possible to do so as I requested for 3 person. There is an initial deposit that I had to do it via remittances from my bank. However, they also refunded back promptly within the same day, after I have checked out . Toilets are clean. Beds are decent.
The drawbacks are probably that it was more like an Airbnb - explaining the property management. Also, within the room, the amenities are very basic (you have a small fridge, hair dryer, iron, ironing board, shampoo, and dishwashing liquid). So one cannot expect daily housekeeping. Also, as it is a common property shared by other residents, it can be quite noisy at night (as guests of other rooms can change frequently ). The initial steps to get to your property can be a little confusing. It would also be great to have better pillows (or more pillows)
Overall decent stay.

Very handy location. However, internet did not work so had to piggy back on next door as password was the same. Air con in main living room area was broken so had to make do with a ceiling fan. Would also like to have seen better kitchen supplies. Not a massive issue as only there for 3 nights but kitchen not really suited for longer stays. Had to go and buy glasses! But, great location for walking to heritage centre, and checkin was pretty smooth.

Location was great but the parking spot & ramp was totally disaster. Sharp corner while driving up to 13 floor parking space make you dizzy like roller coaster. The passenger lift also a pain, you required to wait minimum 15 min for the lift each time get up or down. You don't feel going out after spin all the way up to car park. The floor near entrance and kitchen was sticky. Certain wall with splash mark. Stove with stain mark. Sofa head rest broken.

Me and my friends love this place, clean and easy to find

Overall it’s ok if you stay a couple of nights. The bathroom is quite sad and would need happier colours.

The location is pretty good. Convenient to grab anywhere. The nearest mini Mart is about a 5 min walk away and new lane night hawker is 15. But the apartment itself is not very comfortable. Three mattress gave me and my husband backpain.
Keep expectations low.

Thot Expedia deals only with hotels. So after booking I was disappointed that it was AbnB. Dangerous for a single lady as need to go to the mail box to collect the keys after parking. Then need to drive 10 flrs up to park in a quiet no body around carpark. So scary.. ran to the lift and have to struggle to open the gate at a quiet flr. At night come back is even scarier. For the price they are charging , The room don’t even have a cupboard to hang clothings. Only a portable sunning clothes hanger was there. Can’t hang long clothings. No toiletries but only a couple of big bottles of shampoo and conditioner. No body lotion , face or hand towels etc. only a floor cloth and two bath towels. First day no tv reception. Only after repair on second day u can receive but limited local channels. No mirror at the bedroom and no bedside tables. No breakfast provided too. Not a nice full seaview as it is blocked by many buildings. I was on the 17th flr. So cannot charge as seaview.

We initislly booked a 2 bedded apartment but upon check in found that the apartment had not been cleaned after the last guest had checked out. The bed was not made, floor not cleaned despite us checking in at 5 pm.
Worst still in the evening at around 9 pm we saw a rat in the room and hall which was unacceptable. I sincerely hope expedia can look into this.
We complained and fortunately was changed to another 3 bedded apartment which was basic but comfortable. At least it is clean this time.
The person in charge said he will refund the first night to us but we had yet to hear from him after that.
This is the first time i had stayed in a hotel or apartment that had a rat in it. Mind you I am a frequent flyer.
