10/10 Excellent
"The location is fantastic and safe. Guard were friendly and helpful. The facilities and accessories are great and better than most of the homestays. Need to keep up with the maintenance jobs, though. Some areas cleanliness might not up to our expectations, but overall were great. Upstairs share bathroom doesn't have hot water systems, but the water temperature was not too cold. One of the rooms has no aircon, but that's perfect for a fan lover. Loved it to see they are not just providing Muslims praying mats and Qurans, they also have stickers in room to point the direction. Very thoughtful of the owner. "
