I had a wonderful stay here. The apartment offers plenty of space, a tasteful and modern design, and very comfortable beds with pillows that are pleasantly thin. The location is perfect—right in the heart of the old town, with everything just steps away. The host was extremely helpful, and communication was smooth and responsive at all times. I would gladly stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting the area.

The room is spacious, with private bathroom, the facilities are basic but everything just nice: all you need are there. Breads provided in the pantry are nice, we love the coffee flavour one. It is quite self-service based but everything is easy to use, staff also very responsive through WhatsApp. Location is great, walkable to the center. Very quiet at night. Very recommend to young people and friends (but might not be suitable for family with kids).

It's like a whole resort in one building. We booked this last minute and were surprised how much we loved it. Apartment is very big with plenty of space and a nice view of city at night. Beds were comfy, clean with good air con & fans. The TV area was good and finally a comfy couch for a movie night. There were even pods to wash our clothes that dried easily in the heat overnight. Everything you could need in the kitchen too. The floor that has the pool etc is amazing. 1 large but quieter pool in the shade by the gym but the opposite side as a second infinity pool that's very beautiful with a view of the sea. There is a coffee, smoothie and snack vending as well as a little takeaway vending machine for noodles and dumplings etc. You could stay here all day without needing to leave. We did pop in the roof to look at the views and have a peak. Was absolutely deserted and peaceful. We can't really comment on the lifts. We travelled during Ramadan which is apparently a super quiet time for travel. Lifts were fine for us but no idea about the rest of the year. (I only have a picture of one of the second bedroom. My sister stayed in the master en suite which was bigger and a bit nicer than my picture)

Very clean, neat and tidy. Excellent balcony outside both rooms which would make a good place to meet other guests, and is a great place to observe village life. Very friendly and helpful host who went out of his way to make me feel welcome and looked after. Free parking. No noise from aeroplanes and far enough from the main road that it's quiet, though still close enough to easily walk to the warungs there. Highly recommended! The GPS location provided for Google Maps is spot on (though Google confused me by saying I was there when I still had a corner to drive around!).

Joey is such a lovely hostess. We felt very comfortable and welcome. She was very helpful and warm. The room (family room) has everything you need. It’s clean and comply. You can even do your laundry in the kitchen. I can highly recommend this accommodation to anyone. :)

Everything is great and the bed is so comfortable. It is by far one of the cleanest Homestay I have stayed in Penang island and the owner is super friendly. Also, the owner has very good taste on the choice of home fragrance so I really enjoy the stay. The gurney plaza is just walking distance so basically it’s very convenient.
