New and clean heritage houses located in a busy but quiet street. The room is spacious and has all the basic amenities we need. Huge living area and pantry equipped with water filters, toaster, oven, kettles and even a fridge. The WiFi coverage is strong inside the room. We extended a couple more nights here as we are given a list of recommendations on places to explore! The host and staff here are amazing! Especially Desmond who assisted us upon check in and show us around the property

We went there for Chinese New Year and got some small presents (🥠)! There was also some small breakfast available and the host helped us with all our questions! The location is the beste and it was the best accommodation in Malaysia! Self check in was super easy and communication was great with the host.

I had a fantastic experience at this property! The apartment was incredibly comfortable and had all the amenities you could need. The washing machine and dryer were very convenient, and the kitchen area was fully equipped with a working stove, hood,fridge, microwave, toaster and all the necessary plates, bowls, cups, and cutlery—everything in perfect condition. The apartment was spacious and well-designed, with a dedicated area to place your shoes near the entrance and a comfy couch to relax on. There was also a TV for entertainment, and the whole space was kept cool throughout the stay, thanks to the three air conditioners. The beds were large and very comfortable, and there were plenty of mirrors throughout the apartment, which gave it a nice open feel. The bathroom was spotless and well-maintained, with four towels provided, along with shampoo and shower gel. The two large beds and a spacious cupboard made the stay even more convenient. One of the highlights was the swimming pool located on the 5th floor—a great place to unwind. After booking, the host contacted me with precise directions and detailed information, which made check-in super smooth. They were incredibly helpful and always responded quickly whenever I had a question. Overall, it was a wonderful stay. I felt right at home and will definitely come back again in the future. Highly recommended!

If you're looking to experience staying in modern heritage house, this is the place to be. There is a shared kitchenette with microwave oven, filtered water, mini fridge. Busy street by day but quiet and peaceful at night. Walking distance to almost everything. We love our room, it's clean, spacious and good view from the window. Air con and Wifi were strong too. Not forgetting to mention, the staff were absolute helpful. The reservation team is literally one message away and they are always ready to help.

It was a very pleasant stay for me and my family who came down to Penang for Thaipusam celebration. The host was very welcoming and helpful in helping us. The house was kept very clean with facilities were very well maintained. I also was very pleased with the host checking on us after we checked in and also asking if was any problem with our stay voluntarily rather than wait for us to complaint which not many host will do. She was very professional and yet very welcoming. The house was kept very clean. My entire family was very pleasant with our stay and will recommend the place for our extended family and friends should they visit Penang.
