The location and the price.
The house is smelly and the host is so-so.
When we arrive, there is staff inside the house, watching tv which is not normal for us since its almost 5pm. (Check in time is 3pm).
No clear instruction about parking and what lift should we take. We use visitor lift which lead us to common floor only.
We supposed to take resident lift, but the host didn't mention about this.
The house also smell like fish market which they said it was normal. The smell comes from outside, but we suspect the smell is actually comes from inside the house.
Overall.. maybe we are just unlucky, but this place will be out of our list next time we visit kk.

Pemandangan yg sangat indah,tenang dan sangat selesa.
Staff semua sangat ramah serta helpful.
Sesuai sangat utk bersantai dengan keluarga.
Hmm,yg paling tak suka apabila susah nak contact manager ketika berurusan dengan sebarang pertanyaan dan mengenai detail tetang penginapan.
Need more attention on that.

I loved everything here. The location is very strategic, near with Philippine Market, a convenience store, and I booked with the sea view. It was a lovely short stay here. For sure, will book again in future

Location betul2 depan pasar besar kk dan pasar Philippine. Bilik bersih dan kemas. Ada netflix. Dapur pun barang lengkap. Ada deposit Rm100 boleh online transfer. Cadangan saya pada owner deposit tu kalau customer sama stay check out dan checkin balik dalam minggu sama tak perlulah minta deposit lagi sedangkan deposit refund ambik masa 7hari berkerja.
Bilik master tu kalau boleh letak langsir yg tebal, sama mcm langsir balcony tu. Kadang2 ada keluarga atau kawan2 yang tinggal sebilik dgn yang berhijab.
Bilik single tu pintu tak boleh tutup. Saya cadangkan guna sliding door.
Untuk menjamin keselamatan kipas tu boleh tukar kepada kipas meja atau kipas dinding yang sesuai.
Router ada tapi password tak ada.

+ Location. Walking distance to mall, market, foodcourt and Tamu Gaya.
+ The price is reasonable.
+ parking per entry (kind of weird), tot it will be at s/where else, but apparently it is in the same building
+ Building is still under renovation. You can hear they knocking the walls on daylight
+ No internet/wifi. This has been told earlier, but still it is a basic requirement nowadays
+ Strong smell from pasar once you are at the lobby
+ The extra room is 'tiny'. You cant even close the door

The house was really new and the furniture was new as well. Nice location in front of Pasar Phillipine.
The building is still under construction, which there were contractor workers still doing grouting works at the same floor i was staying in. That said, it get dusty due to the grouting/ cementing/ plastering. There were a lot of contractors too.
There is parking in the building, but at RM5 per entry. There is water heater but no hot water.

✅️ room is comfortable
✅️ nice view
✅️ nice staff
✅️ Easy checkin
❌️ No wifi - need to connect mobile hotspot to watch tv
❌️ Have issue with electricity (2-3 hours no electricity during checkin), staff told us there will be no electric issue probably for 1hr, after waiting so long, we call staff to resolve the issue - the staff just told us to make sure to put the key correctly. So dont know, if it is no electric for the time that we checkin or the key is the problem.
❌️ so many ants, even on the mattress
❌️ No free parking, rm5 per entry is very expensive for me. If rm5 perday i think it will be acceptable

Location was walking distance to local markets, shops and restaurants.
1. Building still in construction.
2. Parking is expensive for building that is not complete.
3. Room is suitable for 2 people - anymore and it's too cramped.
4. Toilet too narrow. Face is near wall when going toilet.
5. Would be nice to have extra toilet rolls and a towel rack to dry towels.
6. Fan in single room is very dangerous as fan has no housing.
7. Have android tv but no Internet. Better to offer free tv channels insteads.
