1248 Cozy Home

I initially thought that metal bunk beds wouldn’t be comfortable and might affect sleep, as I usually prefer low wooden beds. However, I was pleasantly surprised — the elevated metal frame actually felt cleaner and more comfortable than expected. This homestay has plenty of parking space, which is very convenient. Each bedroom comes with its own bathroom, and there is an additional toilet in the living area. The cleanliness exceeded our expectations — the place was very clean and well-maintained. Small details were thoughtfully prepared, such as beer glasses being chilled in the fridge. Cutlery and tableware were also complete, and there are trash bins available in the living room, kitchen, and bedrooms.

The only downside is that the driveway/entrance is a bit narrow when driving into the house, especially when there are cars parked along the roadside in front.

Great Location and Comfortable Stay! We had a wonderful experience at this house The location is perfect—right near plenty of food outlets, making it easy to find a meal. Plus, getting around was a breeze from here. The house itself is clean and well-maintained, with a comfortable bed and fresh, crisp sheets that made for a restful night.

The adjacent vacant lot could be a potential breeding ground for insects, but it didn’t affect our stay/house.

The first impression >>> clean, spacious and cozy as claimed. Host Vivian is very friendly with prompt response. The parking space can easily fit in 2, 3cars. Well functioning smart TV and internet. To be honest this is the best homestay we had so far in Ipoh. Definitely will come for this again in our future visits. The bedroom equipped with hotel-feel mattress, we had a good sleep.

Single storey landed property with sheltered porch. Easy for my elderlies to walk around and stretch their legs. We stayed for a week so we greatly appreciate the gated open area to hang out our laundry. There are two drying racks at the porch for the laundry. Lots of hangers provided too. Living room is spacious and has space to put two square foldable dining tables. Unit has a smart TV which is also greatly appreciated as we were only out for a few hours during the day to visit relatives. There are three bedrooms each with its own bathroom, water heater, hair dryer and mirror. There are also air cons and ceiling fans in the living room and the three bedrooms. There is also a common bathroom at the corridor to the kitchen. Kitchen has a normal size fridge, microwave and kettle with ample plates, bowls, cutlery and cups for all of us. Location is great for us. We don’t drive but were able to get good breakfast, lunch and dinner easily all within 10 minutes walk. Lots of choices nearby. We especially like the Kaya Puff from Sin Eng Hoe less than 100m away and the Jalan Prince Chee Cheong Fun which is only about 200m away. There are also wet market (closed on Monday), mini-mart, 7-eleven, Caring pharmacy all within walking distance. My aunt had a muscle strain and there is a friendly mandarin speaking clinic near the mini-mart and a Chinese tuina shop just opposite the property. My aunt also had a hearing aid problem and this was quickly resolved at the hearing aid shop near the clinic. Host is friendly, helpful and responsive. Host prepared a booklet on Ipoh. Host also whatsapp me some other eateries, including the location and operating hours of a fruit stall when she knew that I was looking for cut fruits. Host is easy to communicate with and very accommodating. As mentioned by some reviewers, some one lives at the smaller unit behind the property. We were kind of comforted that there is someone around to act as security to the property.

Only one set of keys provided so we had to coordinate to make sure the person who was holding the keys leave last and returned first when all of us will be out.
