This simple but elegantly furnished apartment in George Town's historic center was ideal for my stay in the city. If you're without a car and would like to have everything that you need nearby, there's no better place to book. The owner(s) also supply a handy shortlist of locations of both utility and recreation on Google Maps in case you haven't spelled it out for yourself yet.

I just loved everything about my stay. My room was spacious and very comfortable. The bathroom is clean and the location very convenient. You can just love the cats. They are so cute - they even come to your room if you want to. I lost my heart to the baby kitten outside in the backyard.

It’s a new accommodation in town but doesn’t have the freshly renovated smell at all! The bed is very comfy and I slept like a baby throughout the night. It’s a shared bathroom hotel but the hotel only accommodates dozen of people at the same time thus they are cleaned and well maintained. Very close to the hot tourist spots and restaurants. A cleaner is here to keep the whole place hygienic. Not to mention the indoor plants make the space really nice and green. Would love to stay here again.

The staff is one of the most amazing and caring that I have seen. Super friendly, attentive and trying to help and make sure you are comfortable. They shared details on what to see in the city, detailed instruction how to reach the room, were very friendly and polite all the time, allow to bring a bag before the check in and leave after check-out, provided earplugs and dental kit. Wifi is good, room is good, location is perfect, close to all the main attractions in Georgetown. Overall, amazing experience and the staff are just the best, thanks a lot! :)
