Your pen pal from Australia would like to visit Singapore. He and his two older sisters hope to have a free and easy time in Singapore with you as their guide. However, in order to save on costs, they have asked you to help them arrange their accommodation while they are here for two weeks. They hope that you can help them narrow down their choices of where to stay.
After some internet searches, you have come up with four potential places to stay. However, you feel that one of them is the best choice. Write to your pen pal telling him of the available choices and which one you think is the most suitable.
