    The room was a bit small

    Steven (the host) was super friendly and helpful. He gave a bunch of recommendation and even drove us to the bus station. Guesthouse had all you need: nice bed, water dispenser, microwave, washing machine, living room, tea and coffee, and even projectors in every room. All free of charge!

    Only one shared bathroom/toilet in the property.

    The location was fantastic. We drove from KL and it was easy to find. Once parked at the property, we walked everywhere, as it was within walking distance to Jonker Street. Steven made us feel very welcomed and walked us through places to go, and food to eat, which was very useful!

    1. The hospitality of the host ofcourse. Steven Yong is such a wonderful, humorous and cheeky host 😁. He recommended many local food to us on check in day, tough we couldn't try it all in the course of 1 and half day visit 😅. And on the morning of the check out day, he DRIVED us to Melaka Sentral himself for free. Thank you so much Steven 🙏👊. 2. The location is just a stoneaway from Malacca center point and Jonker food area, as you visit Malacca for food ofcourse Hehe. A few minutes walking, your eyes treated with Malacca River and one the famous 17th century European historical site and building area in Malaya. 3. The facilities is nice and complete. Besides the privacy and the comfort of your bedroom, you can use and enjoy all the shared facilities such as bathroom , kitchen utensil & dishes, microwave, drinking water freeflow, free complimentary coffee-sugar-instant cupnoodles, washing machine and ironing, umbrella, all in good and clean condition. If you stay longer I'm sure that'll be helpful. Overall I enjoy my stay so much 😊.

    Shared bathroom, but we didn’t see the others so it was completely fine. It’s great value for money so can’t complain.

    Steven is amazing, gave us a great detailed talk about where to go, where to eat etc. Really friendly. Great location, easy walk to lots of food places. Room is clean and good AC.

    We felt like we're home. The place is just over the top. Steven was so friendly. He was waiting for us with a big smile on his face. He even prepared the map of Malacca with the whole highlights of the city. He explained every detail about the places we have to visit. We got from him a few addresses of different kind of restaurants in the city cuz we're vegetarian. You can use the wash machine and the fridge for free. There is also hot and cold water for drinking. The location is just in the heart of the city. Finally he drove us to the main bus station. You will never regret your staying at the one vacation home. Thanks Steven for everything!

    Steven was the best host I have had so far. What a dude. I arrived late, he showed up without compaints. I only stayed one night, but he still explained all fun activities to me. I was allowed to leave my bags after check-out. And best of all: he brought me to the bus station (20 min drive!), even though he didnt need to. Awesome man! He made Melaka awesome for me. The homestay is awesome too. Very clean, extremely comfortable bed, good facilities (free coffee, noodles, tea, etc.). Very close to the center, a few minutes to walk. A lot of nice restaurants nearby. Melaka was absolutely amazing, and this accommodation is a big part of the reason. I'll be back.

    There is nothing that I didn't like. The car park space was a challenge due the town house limited porch area. even that the host arranged it well for us.

    The host is very friendly and helpful. The entire home is super clean and very well arranged with necessary amenities. Perfect location. Walking distance to jonker, river side and all other attractions

    A great place to stay in Melaka! Lovely little guesthouse just a stone's throw away from the centre, and there were some good food spots about a 2 minute walk away. The room was small but comfortable and the air conditioning worked well. Steven himself was welcoming and so helpful with recommendations. He even took us to the bus station after we checked out, what a legend. Great value for money overall.

    This's a cosy nice place to stay in Melaka. The house's located in a small local street, only 7-10 mins away from Jonker walk. Easy to go everywhere. The neighbourhood is quiet and the people there are very friendly, not because we're tourists but because they're kind. The house is spacious, has everything you need as a traveller or if you want to stay some days away from busy cities. By the way, the most excellent for us was not the house, but the host. Steven didn't even make his house to be comfortable for his guests, but also made his guests comfortable. You can easily contact him and he answers very fast. He told us important things about travelling in Melaka and suggested a lot of good local restaurants. We loved the small Satay place that's very close to the house, just 1-2 mins to walk. Steven also took us to a massage parlour in the centre and brought us to the bus station on the day we checked out. Would recommend.

    The entire home was awesome, the location is perfect 7 minutes walk to any attraction in the city and in the same time it is located on very quiet street. Near by is one of the best food market. Our room is very well equiped and was extremely clean and tidy. Bed was very comfortable and it is big and comfy for 2 persons. The bathroom is specious and have non stop hot water. Stiven that met us is lovely guy that explain us everything for our stay in the home and give us very good advises what to do in the city and where to eat. When we leave he give us a free ride to Malacca Sentral and that is awesome. He is very positive guy and wish him all the best. Keep going in that way it was great experience. Definitely recommended this place for stay in Malacca and will visit it again.
