I like the proximity to the surrounding food stores though the overall feel is that I’m there’s not many shops around th
Pros:

Room is big for a studio unit. Location is great as it’s about 15mins walk to Central Park MRT station.

Cons:

The path to the MRT station is not sheltered and when it rains, you would need to hail cab to the station instead
