Featuring a garden, private pool and sea views, #3 No1 Revisited Stay-Luxury Corner Seaview, 2bath room-Mango House3 is set in Kota Kinabalu. Free WiFi is featured throughout the property and private parking is available on site. The property is non-smoking and is located 1.7 km from Filipino Market Sabah. Loved everything about it!! Truly felt like a home away from home. Has all the amenities you need and a gorgeous view. A water filter for drinking water. Good hot showers, comfy beds and living area. Well placed power sockets and even a wireless charging dock. We enjoyed it so much despite it being towards the end of the city area. This meant a peaceful stay with a mall next door and laundry and convenience stores on the ground floor of the apartment building. For everywhere else, just GRAB. So worth it.

The room was spacious, lots of rack coz stayed at 2 bunk bed room. Food was delicious n have varieties too.
