The property features quiet street views and is 700 metres from 1st Avenue Penang and 800 metres from Wonderfood Museum.

Beautiful place, nice location, few minutes walking from main streets with lots of cafes, restaurants and shops but still it was quiet area. Karaoke bar nearby is actually really cute and it's nice to observe local community there. Usually it's closed after 10pm so it's not noisy at night, like some people wrote before. Place itself is really nice minimalistic style decorated. Everything you need is there - iron, fridge, ac, basic kitchen equipment, etc. It's also very clean and our room was very spacious (the one with the balcony). Owners send us a lot of tips about the city, places to visit, restaurants to try and attractions to check so it was super helpful! Also the city is amazing, really beautiful and worth staying longer than you think!
