I had a great time!

I enjoyed staying here very much. The apartment was very clean and I felt very safe. The view was amazing and I watched the sunrise every morning. The swimming pool was great. For me, the location was perfect. The bus stop was very close and there were plenty of restaurants, cafes and some great supermarkets which made it very convenient . There is also a great walk to Straits Quay and beyond which I did every morning. l went to Gurney Drive Hawker Centre most evenings for dinner. I explored Georgetown, Penang Hill and Butterworth - all by public transport which was cheap and reliable.I would stay again if I was back in Penang.Communication with Teng Ee was great and I appreciated his advice and suggestions. Thanks for everything!

Winter break.

We stayed at straits quay for 5weeks in Jan/Feb. The appartment was very well equipped, spacious and clean. The pool was amazing and very quiet. Our host Susanna met us on arrival even though it was 0100. Unfortunately our luggage was left in Kuala Lumpur by the airline. We could not get through on the phone to the airport the next day to find out when it would be delivered. Susanna helped us and managed to obtain information .Our luggage arrived at 1800 . The only downside was the building works going on which made the area quite noisy at times. I think the photos need updating as the view from appartment is not as shown on Home and Away. My thanks to Susanna for letting us stay in pleasant appartment.
