Reviews of The Keystone by Homestead
24D student happy to recommend keystone. Great location in Holland Village, nice to live on a street with lots of insead students, and close to campus. The rooms are pretty good and the landlord is responsive to issues as they arise.
INSEAD 24D - Very good experience!
The main advantage of Keystone is that they own a lot of houses in the same street, so every time you go to school, you are sure to meet classmates on the way. (Also very practical for parties :) )
I think Keystone is one of the best ways to connect with other classmates and start creating a network at INSEAD, it allows you to be surrounded by classmates outside of the school, which is very precious!
Moreover, , Keystone people are very reactive whenever we needed their help for small fixes.
Would 100% recommend to any INSEAD student :)
I had a great experience with keystone in Singapore. We were 5 in a house and everything went very well. The houses are great, fully furnished and equipped, with cleaning once a week. It is very convenient for students staying for 6 months. The keystone team was very reactive when we had requests (special thanks to Roselle, the community manager), and was eager to make our stay in Singapore pleasant and enriching by organizing regular events (dinners, city tours...) for the residents.
I spent 4 periods with Keystone during my MBA and I absolutely love my experience.
The houses were very cosy and clean. The service was beyond excellent. Roselle, who was my main point of contact, was always very responsive and friendly.
Cost wise, I believe it is the most economical option in close proximity. But more importantly, Keystone helps to remove the hassle of dealing with the property agents when choosing to stay at a condo, finding replacements when doing campus exchange or even chasing the landlord for the deposit refund after leaving Singapore.
Lastly, the neighborhood is fantastic with many great restaurants, cafes and bars, and I never had to walk 15 mins to school under the scorching heat.
I will always recommend Keystone to my friends and whoever looking for accommodations close to INSEAD.
The four of us had a great stay at a Keystone house during the last three months. The house is clean, spacious with a large balcony and well located near the Holland Village centre. The Keystone team also takes care of a full house cleaning weekly and organised a tour with all the residents at Pulau Ubin.
We also thank Roselle who took care of all the procedures to ease our stay as much as possible and with whom we had great contact.
I recommend this place for staying!
I found living at Keystone a pleasant experience. My main objective for choosing the place was for the convenience - good location, no need to think about buying furniture, cleaning included, etc. Management was understanding & responsive to what we needed. They gave COVID subsidies for rent even if I was contracted for a whole year & agreed to a fixed rent.
There were no doubt some downsides as well. The walls are really thin so noise travels. Furniture also needs upgrading. There were a lot of insects (ants & lizards) as well, but is part of the experience of living in the tropics.
So if you're looking for something convenient, Keystone is a good place to be.
I stayed in Keystone for 2 months during my summer break at INSEAD and absolutely loved my stay! Here are my biggest advantages of Keystone:
1. Location: 3 minutes walk to the MRT, Bus Stop, Pharmacy, 24-hour grocery store.
2. Rental timeframe: There are only a handful of places that are not hotels that can provide accommodation for a 2-month or 4-month stay in Singapore. Keystone is one of them.
3. Maintenance and Utilities: These are taken care of by Keystone, so we don't need to worry about setting up our electricity & water accounts, wifi accounts, cleaning the house etc
4. Fully furnished house: We have access to all furniture including utensils to cook, washer/dryer, patio furniture
5. Support team: There's a dedicated rockstar team that fixes issues and answers questions within a day. Special shoutout to Roselle who was so resourceful and easy to reach out to for check-in and check-out formalities as well as day-to-day concerns.
Think of Keystone as a place with the advantages of a hotel, rent of a house, and comfort of a home.
I had a good experience with Keystone. We were there during the lockdown in early to mid 2020 and Keystone tried to accomodate the difficult situation we were all in with flexible contract terms. The houses themselves are nicely designed and feature good smart home gadgets and two nice terraces, which make life a lot nicer.
I stayed in Keystone for P1-P4 and had an absolutely great experience. Very neat and modern houses in a great residential neighborhood. Also great to have everything fixed when moving into Singapore and not having to deal with the hassle of arranging furniture and getting contracts for internet etc. Very accessible and responsive management in case of any concerns.
During my MBA time in Singapore, I stayed both at Heritage and Keystone. Both are different in style but Keystone is definitely the place with special memories. I enjoyed the setting with its unique architectural style, its convenience (close to metro and commercial areas) and the more relax, laidback vibe. The staff is super responsive and helpful. For future INSEADers, I definitely recommend you consider Keystone.
I had a wonderful stay during my four months in Singapore
An excellent housing option for INSEAD MBAs. Spacious houses, well-appointed rooms, regular cleaning services even during the worst of the lockdowns in 2020. Having a backyard where I could get some fresh air and exercise during lockdown was a lifesaver! I also appreciated the smart home appliances in the house.
It's a bit further away from campus than other housing options, but commuting on the MRT is cheap and quick. Excellent restaurants and bars in Holland Village, a quick walk away. Highly recommend this as a place to stay.
Best accommodation for your INSEAD experience. I am a 20D MBA student and I stayed there P1 to P3 plus the summer and I can say that it's the best place to build rapport and strengthen links with your batchmates. The neighborhood is perfect, full of offerings, restaurants and anything your could possibly need at 5min walking reach.
Check-in and check-out process was hassle-free with no hidden fees or surcharges, in contrast to other INSEAD peers that rented condos and faced issues with the deposit.
Also, props to the management who was very responsive, transparent, and understanding at all times. They engaged with us to address any pain points or areas of improvement that we thought about.
Our experience at Keystone participated to our unforgettable stay in Singapore. Very practical, peaceful and pleasant neighborhood. Everything is managed by a professional team. I recommend !
The Keystone team is doing something very special for the INSEAD community - great location, beautiful homes and very caring team! The opposite of the usual renting experience in Singapore - rental terms fully adapted to the INSEAD calendar, and NO sneaky agents/landlords out to make a quick buck off students!
Keystone holds the key to my heart! Nestled in the verdant neighborhood of Holland Village, Keystone will make you feel at home in all the hustle and bustle of Singapore. After a night on the town, all roads led to Keystone. Staying here was the rock that held together my entire INSEAD SG experience...guess that's why it's called Keystone ;). If you're looking for a great location in a well-maintained, tasteful flat surrounded by fun INSEADERs, then Keystone is the place to be. Otherwise, go to Heritage 😜
Very comfortable stay - all essential amenities were provided, everything is ready to move in and there's nothing you have to worry about arranging. Also very easy and smooth process in terms of registration and signing of contracts and refund of deposit etc. The staff was really helpful and even organized events such as Secret Santa.
Very good hosting experience, perfect location and accomodation and a very good job done by Roselle, our hosting manager, on the services provided !
Strongly recommend The Keystone !
Pretty good experience overall. The place is well equipped, has a great location, and and the Keystone team was quite supportive in managing our stay!
Had a great time there during my stay! Peaceful environment and nothing too wild. Management team was also prompt in their response to our request.
Stayed there in P5 as a 20D student and had a pleasant experience.
