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.

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.
