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.

The location is pretty good since everything is walking distance, its a pretty chill and quiet atmosphere, perfect if you want to relax and just enjoy the city in a beautiful place. Would totally come back here if I had to! Also, the hosts are super nice if you want to experience a local recommendation they're super open and willing to help :)

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.
