10 Family-friendly Serviced Apartments in Singapore: for times when you’re Renovating, Relocating or thinking of a Staycation!

Looking for the best family-friendly serviced apartments in Singapore? Here are some that you’ll love to call your home away from home. The kids won’t wanna leave!

Is it time to do a major home renovation but you’d need somewhere for your brood to stay until the dust settles? And for families who are relocating to Singapore, picking the right accommodation for yourself and your family during this time is important, even if you’re only planning on a short-term transition.

Or perhaps you’re scouting for a staycation spot that is a little more personal than the usual hotel. Even if not for yourselves, perhaps for friends’ or relatives’ families when they come from overseas to visit. It’s one of those things that could really make or break your stay, especially when you have kids in tow.
