Our 3-bedroom suite on Stephens Street! When we first arrived, this looks like a scene from Desperate Housewives, with the long driveway and lovely houses lining the streets on both sides of the road. We arrived here at around 9.30pm and we, at least one of us, fell in love immediately with our accommodation. This will be one model we’ll be counting on for reference for our own place later on. The entire suite is not very big as one would expect from a landed property but the owner did a fine job in designing this place. There are plenty of mirrors, a commonly used method to project bigger place.

Right now, we’re sitting in front of a fireplace, which we can use; we might be using it more frequently over the next few days, as the entire suite is air-conditioned and no matter how we turn up the temp, it still cold. The bathrooms are lovely, with bath-tubs and lovely cabinets. The beds here seemed super-duper comfortable…they are rather high and I’ve to jump to get onto the bed (and NO, I’m not that short!), and they are extremely inviting. Kitchen is small but it seems to have everything – oven, dishwasher, electric stove and most utensils you would need in a kitchen; what’s lacking is chopsticks! Size of the rooms are quite small but really, with the comfy bed beckoning, who cares about the size!

Tomorrow, our host will show us around the neighbourhood, give us a quick tour and help us get transport passes. Maybe I’ll get to meet some of the Desperate neighbours…
We’re simply loving it here!!!
