    Default 1-bedder to rent in city hall area

    My friend is coming to sg soon. She wants to rent a studio or 1-bedder around her office which is near ROM.

    Any good suggestion? I guru a bit, really no some good one nearby. Her budget is around 3.5-4k.

    She doesn't like the soho @ central.... The mount Sophia area look good, but very very long walking distance to the main road right. It's near to MRT from map, but no direct access is it?

    Ideally have one direct bus from condo to office ...

    Appreciate experts here to advise!

    I think you must be referring to the stairs beside nomu. I personally like that vicinity, very serene

    the staircase may not be obvious if u dun look properly. it is near cathay. u nid to consider if a female will find it safe to use the stairs in the night. if ppl plan to ambush u, there is no way to escape

    Check out Devonshire rd, its directly across Somerset mrt station.There are 2 condos yr friend can consider: the metz n illuminaire , both are less than 3mins walk to the mrt. They hv 1 bedder or studio units there. Rental should be around 3.5 - 4k.

    Does tenant need to pay agent fee? Let's say for one year lease only, does she need to pay? Or landlord will pay...

    Surrounding is quiet and very expat-ish. The view from sky decks are breast taking. Lol.

    I will pm u if ur fren is interested as i know a fren who is renting out. It is a decent 1 bedder size and layout.

    From espada it is quite a long walk to the mrt.
    If yr friend doesn't mind the walk than it's fine cos espada is a nice project.
    The metz n illuminaire are the nearest to the mrt n very convenient also.
    It's best that yr friend check out the 3 projects.

    At 3.5k she would have plenty left to engage weekly cleaner for the 818sf space.
