A word from Marcelo, a Coliwoo tenant
Why did you decide to try co-living at Coliwoo?
I needed a short-term lease for my three-month stay in Singapore. Traditional apartment rentals weren’t practical due to the duration of my stay, and hotels were too expensive for a longer period. Coliwoo’s co-living space stood out as an affordable choice that catered to my needs.
I also valued having access to facilities like laundry and cooking spaces, which allowed me to manage my daily tasks independently. Additionally, Coliwoo’s location near supermarkets and other stores made it even more convenient.
Tell us about your unit.
My room is thoughtfully equipped with everything I need for a comfortable and independent stay. It features a mini-fridge, kitchenette with cooking ware and utensils, and even a mini washer-dryer, all of which are incredibly convenient. The workstation is perfect for work and the large, comfortable bed is a real highlight – especially after a long, exhausting day!
The communal areas are equally impressive. Having a gym right on-site is a huge timesaver, and the pool is definitely a plus with Singapore’s hot weather. These features truly make living here enjoyable and convenient.
What have you enjoyed about the area surrounding your co-living space in Singapore?
Exploring Singapore from my Coliwoo co-living space has been incredibly convenient as the MRT station and bus stop are just a block away. On rainy days, getting around is still hassle-free – taxis can pick you up right from the lobby, so you don’t even have to worry about getting wet.
The area around Coliwoo is vibrant and full of amenities. Several shopping malls nearby offer a wide variety of products to suit any need. There are also plenty of great restaurants and bars, making it easy to enjoy a meal or a night out without traveling far.
Are you enjoying living in Singapore?
Living in Singapore during this period has been an extraordinary experience for me. Exploring the rich history and vibrant culture of the city has been both surprising and delightful. I’ve had the chance to visit some of the most iconic landmarks, each offering breathtaking views of the city, and I’ve truly enjoyed tasting the diverse local cuisine, experiencing it from many different perspectives. The journey has been both enriching and memorable.
