It was very central, so easy to walk everywhere and I enjoyed the older architecture. The staff was incredibly helpful, allowing us to check in a couple hours early and giving us great suggestions on what to experience. I appreciated the ease of communication through WhatsApp, sending check-in instructions the day before and being available anytime during the stay if we had questions.

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.
