This apartment features free private parking and a lift. Featuring free WiFi throughout the property, the non-smoking apartment has a sauna. We just stayed for 5 nights at this wonderful property in George Town. It felt like a home away from with everything we needed for a family of 5. The host was very helpful and provided thorough details on how to access the apartment. We also loved the roof top pool- especially at sunset. The view from the apartment is spectacular. It was an easy grab trip to the old quarter and there were small local restaurants close to the apartment. We ate masala dosa at the small Indian restaurants for breakfast each morning. You can catch the public bus around the corner to the funicular too. I would highly recommend this property, especially if you have a family. My kids loved the bunk beds!
