I like to travel around the world to know peoples of other cultures, I'm very particular about the cleanliness and hygiene of the places I stayed. It has been my dream to host a place for travelers to stay with cleanliness and hygiene in mind, low cost and specially presented with Malaysian hospitality. Lastly, I do hope my guests come as strangers and leave as friends!
Entrance area of the homestay is also monitored by the CCTV surveillance system for the safety and security of the guests and residents. Strategic Location: 7-Beds Exec House (Rumahku Georgetown Homestay) is located at the historic city center in Penang which is accorded a listing as a UNESCO World Cultural Heritage Site. Komtar Tower, the tallest skyscraper in Penang which actually consist of a multipurpose complex, comprising administrative offices of Penang state government, retail outlets, and more than 18 themed attractions in The Top Penang indoor theme park is actually 300 meters away from homestay.
