Short Stay In Neat Unit Near Cheras LRT

Jane's apartment was spacious, bright and clean. Both bedrooms are en suite which is useful and had ample storage space to unpack. The living space is comfortable and the kitchen well equipped. The WiFi worked well in the living room but didn't work in bedrooms, this only mattered to us as the children couldn't watch Netflix etc on their devices in another room.

The swimming pool is a good size and well maintained, it gets the sun all morning until 1pm. Bit of a shame it was in the shade for the rest of the day. There are no sun loungers or chairs at the pool, so to sunbathe we had to lie on the floor. This was fine by us until one of the over zealous security guards told us we weren't allowed to! Having not read any rules about sunbathing we were shocked and felt uncomfortable so left the pool area that day.

We contacted Jane, our host, to clarify the situation and she immediately spoke with security guard. Seemed he was a bit of busybody and likes to enforce his own rules. Jane dealt with the situation quickly for which we were very grateful however it made us a bit uncomfortable especially when that particular guard was on duty at the pool.

The apartment is located right beside Cheras train station so travel to city centre was easy and cheap. If you don't mind being away from the hussle and bustle/ nightlife of KL, the apartment is well located.

The local neighbourhood is well served for daily amenities supermarket etc, though for our tastes, we travelled into KL for eating out.

We had a nice,comfortable stay and it suited our purposes well. We had been travelling for a month with our children, so space to chill and relax was much appreciated. This didn't strike me as a place many westerners used as a holiday let, which wasn't a problem for us, but could be worth bearing in mind if you're looking for more of a holiday 'vibe'. This definitely feels like an area where locals live and work, so popping to shops in holiday attire such as shorts over swimmers etc isn't the best idea.

Jane is a lovely host. Very helpful and friendly. She responded immediately to any queries /questions and came out to the property to welcome us which was a nice touch.

I would recommend this accommodation to families on a tighter budget as a base for exploring KL. Good levels of comfort, cleanliness and easy access to public transport/airport.
