I liked it

I live in the United States and needed a place to stay for 7 nights while in Kuala Lumpur. Location - it was close to my area of interest (Damansara Heights).About RM11.00 by Grab - many store and restaurants - a not crowded shopping mall - 5 min walk - there are some laundromats around if you need washing - super easy to get transportation Apartment: - everything I needed was provided. - loved the AC - it kept me cool. - if you like fresh air, the windows can be opened. - Bathroom was large and felt luxurious. - I think 3 adults would be cramped in this apartment. - there is a machine that washes and dries the clothes, but I found the dryer part of it is not too great - so hanging up your clothes to dry would be a better solution. - the bed was a bit hard but if you're not fussy , you will do just fine. - The pool and view of the 27th floor is fantastic. Pool is clean but be prepared to see fully clothed individuals using the pool. ( This is a norm in most Malaysian locations) I found the co-host to be really good and gave me good instructions. It is good that she did provide photos of the front desk and where the locker is located. What could be improved: If someone is staying for 7 nights, or if there are more than 2 people, paper towels, toilet rolls extra 1, extra bath mat would be good . Rags to use would be good so we can clean up better. Mgmt at the residence didnt throw out garbage for days and the whole floor stunk. That was most disgusting.

Great Deal

I wasn't sure what to expect, but ended up staying a month at this unit. Owner was very easy to work with. Location is very close to KLCC, which you can see the Twin Towers, KL Tower and 118 from the end of the building. Quick 10-15 minute Grab ride to KLCC. Lots of nice restaurants around, including the mall across the street. My only mistake, not realizing that there was a grocery store across the street in the very bottom of the mall. I would definitely stay in this unit again.

Choosing your place in vast Malaysia

Mystical, majestic Malaysia straddles 2 huge landmasses in Southeast Asia. There's West Malaysia, clutching the Malay Peninsula, from soy-sizzling, Chinese-infused Penang, through misty Taman Negara – the oldest rainforest in the world, some say – to enchanting Malacca and its colonial treasures. And then there's East Malaysia, a place of primeval jungles and orangutans, ancient volcanos and deep caves. Malaysia vacation rentals pepper the whole lot, offering city breaks in buzzing Kuala Lumpur, along with tropical expeditions to beaches and rainforests alike.

Malaysia's a living, breathing culture museum

Culturally, Malaysia is a fabric woven from many threads. Up in Penang, you can delve into UNESCO-tagged George Town and find yourself lost between Chinese temples and Indian cookhouses. Malacca is another living museum – it's laden with gorgeous Dutch and British colonial buildings, and has an amazing Maritime Museum that helps unravel the importance of the Malacca Strait. Those with Malaysia vacation rentals in Kuala Lumpur can look forward to cocktails in soaring sky bars and spiritual journeys to Hindu shrines at the Batu Caves.

Malaysia's hodgepodge of seasons

There are no hard and fast rules about the best time to visit Malaysia. That's because there are various wet and dry seasons that affect different parts of the country at different times of the year. Generally speaking, you'll want to avoid the rains. They hit East Malaysia between November and March and pass across the west coast between April and October. Hot, humid temperatures dominate all seasons – and it's always possible to have a blast in the city, if you've booked Malaysia vacation rentals in Kuala Lumpur.

Malaysia is tropical to the T

Malaysia runs down towards the equator from the Gulf of Thailand and the South China Sea. It's half peninsula, half island, home to great lengths of sandy beaches where coconut palms sway and coral reefs hide under the swells. Inland, world-famous national parks, like Gunung Mulu and Taman Negara, host some of the world's oldest rainforest. You can delve into those old-growth pockets to discover an amazing biodiversity. Orangutans and tapirs, snakes and stalking Malay tigers, pangolins and lemurs – there's loads to see on a Malaysia safari.
