The Opposite Place is a pre-war building located on one of the narrow side streets at the old district of Melaka, some called the Chinatown. The house has two private rooms on the first floor and a dessert cafe on the ground floor.
Hi everyone, The old quarter of Malacca is small but lots to be discovered and I have 600 years of gossips to share with you.
Jonker Walk is less than a minute walk from the guesthouse. There are many eateries, antique stores and sightseeings nearby. Perfect location to explore the local culture.
