Pros: +Self check-in and self check-out, very convenient for us. +Strategic location, close to Gurney Plaza mall, Gurney Paragon, and Gurney Hawker Night Market. Just a 5-minute walk. +Homestay location in a quiet residential area, down an alley, so it's comfortable, not noisy, and the residential area is clean. +The room we chose for 5 people was spacious enough for us. +Cleanliness is okay, staff are friendly. +Facilities are adequate, complete dining utensils, microwave, and water heater. +Fast Wi-Fi for the 5 of us. Cons: -Our room was on the 2nd floor, which required climbing a rather steep staircase. Not suitable for the elderly and children. We happened to bring an elderly person, so it was a bit troublesome for them to go up and down the stairs. -The room has original wooden floors, making it very noisy when walking. No matter how quietly you walk, the wooden floor will creak/be noisy. -Although the homestay area is quiet, if guests arrive at the homestay, it will definitely be noisy. The rooms are not soundproof, so sometimes it's noisy due to other guests. Whether it's talking or footsteps that can be heard from outside the room because of the wooden floor. -There is no kitchen/own sink, so washing dishes in the bathroom and the bathroom sink is definitely too small for washing dishes.

I like the location of the inn because it is close to the mall, the room is pretty clean but according to the staff according to the staff to clean the room twice a day, this is in my opinion should not be appropriate every day and requested by us, and towels sometimes smell good and sometimes smell, Because we stay here for 7 days and 6 nights, other things until we ask for the soap is not filled again. Regarding the room that was requested from the beginning that I want the ground floor or the ground floor but until we complain it will be given according to our request, What they originally wanted was for us upstairs. Hopefully this entry can be fixed and useful for all the people who are staying here, thank you.

The room I stayed was a floor extension which was quite spacious, comfortable, private and had a balcony. What I didn't like with this room was that the (private) bathroom was outside (next to balcony). But I think such room only one in iBook. Location was great, not far from Gurney Plaza, the famous Gurney Food Complex and convenient store.
