I wouldn’t give any stars for this place and we have lived here for two years! Poor fittings, place is infested with Airbnb, poor security, leaking and mold are common occurrences because of poor workmanship and equally maintenance support, unbelievably lazy and incompetent MO supervisor, very rude guards (security companies change every 3 months), letters and packages will go missing unless you scour the desk yourself because concierge guard can’t speak BM, English, Cantonese, Tamil and Mandarin. Better luck if you speak Myanmarese or Nepali. Never again. Don’t waste your money here for own stay.
