Comments

A very convenient neighborhood with many local amenities, eateries, convenient stores and many more. There is a cleaning lady that comes to clean the flat weekly and if I encounter any problem with the room, the staff at Contented Living respond very quickly.

Besides, they also provide many different services and gifts for their tenants, such as helping us to sign up for a mobile phone plan and also provide 3D photos on the view of the flat.

When the typhoon or bad weather is hoisted, they will send friendly reminder email and WeChat post. I feel like home living at Contented Living.

The roomies are very nice, and the regular room cleaning service saves us from many troubles compared to renting houses outside. Guess I will be staying around as long as I could!
