The best homestay in Penang
Pros:

We spent a lovely time at this family home. The neighborhood is quiet and peaceful, offering a true escape from the hustle and bustle.

What made our stay special were the incredibly welcoming hosts who made us feel right at home.

The location is great: it's only 400m to the beach, and the walk there is an experience in itself.

We are very grateful for the hospitality and would highly recommend this place! Your guests from the room 4.

Хорошее место для знакомства с городом.
Pros:

Хорошее расположение, дом чистый, хорошо убирают. Хозяева прекрасные, у них же арендовали мотобайк(35MR), заселение дистанционное. Наш номер был с личной ванной, насекомых нет, (только комары). Есть кухня и все необходимое, холодильник, микроволновая печь. За домом есть стиральная машина (5MR). В доме живет хороший котик.

Cons:

Обязательно нужно средство от комаров, их довольно много.

Хозяева

Cons:

Кухня и посуда для гостей, ну это мягко говоря плохо, особенно посуда, замените её это выглядит ужасно, это не так уж и дорого
Убока в номере по требованию

Could be worst
Pros:

Wifi was good

Cons:

The bed was way too tough, every morning I woke up with pain in the back.
The towels were awful, more like a cloth, very thin.
Windows are old, you can hear the noise from the main high-speed street, also the freaking Muslim speakers during the night, whit out sponge plugs you can't sleep.
The cat of the owners, phhh. Seating on the table together with owners where guests are eating, yep.
