Hi all. I'm new to this very helpful forum and could use your collective wisdom on
Serviced Apartments in Singapore. (A common question here, I know.) I've looked through the archives a bit, and that's been some help.
We'll be arriving in a few weeks for a 6 to 9 month stay and have to choose where to live pretty quickly. My husband was just there and saw a few properties, so we have three top choices so far. I'd love to hear some opinions if you're familiar with any of these! We have a busy 1 year old boy, so that's something we need to consider in the amenities also. Would love a play area and nearby green space.
My husband's company is also footing the bill for a 2 BR apt, and while we have to stay within some sort of budget, it seems like they're being pretty generous. He'll be working in the Raffles area, and I'll be working from home and taking care of the kiddo until we find some help.
Our top choices so far:
Raffles Ascott: Looks gorgeous, great facilities, very nice pool. No kids play area or outdoor space that I can see though. Is the area too busy?
Somerset Liang Court: Looks very nice, good location from what I can see. They have a nice pool area and a kids playroom, though it's nothing to write home about. Too loud? Too mediocre? Looks like it's right near a park, which is great.
Frasers Robertson Quay: Nice apartments, though not as nice as the other 2 from what I can tell. GREAT kids stuff though -- kids pool, playroom, etc. We don't want to live in a super-touristy spot though, and I've read a few reviews that mention bar noise here. Any experience with this place?
We'd also love any other suggestions if you have them. Many many thanks!
