La Belle Maison 12 @ Gurney Kelawai/Pulau Tikus/Georgetown is situated in George Town, 2.9 km from Penang Botanic Gardens, 3.5 km from Straits Quay, and 4.2 km from Penang Times Square.

The accommodation is only a few minutes' walk from a large shopping mall, which has a great food court and numerous shops in the basement and on the 4th floor until 10 am. The historic city centre can be reached by bus in 15/20 minutes. Our room was very clean, the bed was comfortable and the air conditioning made it pleasantly cool. Kelly is an incredibly dedicated and warm-hearted hostess. She is very helpful and even drove us around the city in her car for sightseeing. We can recommend Kelly and her accommodation without reservation and would stay here again at any time!

Happy that a unit of stand alone dryer is provided to use that I can easily manage laundries for 6 persons. I can do some light cooking as well, Most important, the place is clean. Overall, we were happy with our choice of homestay. Thumbs up to host and keep going ^^
