Monthly Rentals in Penang Island

Shi's place was a nice stay. The unit is good size, and is very well equipped. There are a few restaurants and cafes around, with a nice grocery store across the street. It is technically within walking distance of Gurney and Quayside, but with the weather I only did those walks in the evening when it's cooler. Otherwise I took Grab. A few downsides, as others have mentioned, the building has lots of Airbnb's and the lifts can become quite busy. Also the unit is a few stories above the pool, which can be a bit noisy in the mornings if you are a later sleeper.

Zoe’s place was overall very good. Very well equipped and spacious. Comfy sofa and bed. Lovely views - you can see the sea and cruise ships coming in! Large fridge and freezer. Everything worked well. Shower was strong and hot. Zoe was great at communicating with us on whatapp & check in was a breeze! Things that were out of Zoe’s control - the neighbours upstairs were very loud. On the first day there was construction directly above us, so much so I could smell the dust. But this luckily was only 1-day as it was then public holiday. They also were quite noisy moving chairs and furniture late at night around 11:30/12pm so we had to wear ear plugs. Maybe just check with Zoe the dates of construction so you don’t get a nasty surprise at your stay! Pool was very very cold, like a plunge pool, as it sits in the shade all day. As a little tip - would be fab to have a bigger duvet as it was too small for the bed and a mirror outside of the bathroom as it was a little dark!

A very magical trip that happens to be the living environment we were expecting to experience real life in Penang, a multi-ethnic fusion Malay society. The room is simple and the check-in instructions are clear, thank you.

We stayed in Christine's apartment for about a month and it is the 2nd time we did and again another excellent one. The apartment is within a highend property complex and well maintained. Strait Quay is a very nice residential area with supermarket and restaurants. It's very easy to get into the old heritage town by Grab or even by public buses. Christine is a very best host, responsible, reliable, efficient and friendly. Thank you Christine!
