Guys, I do know this is not especially cheap. Didn't make the video for that, just to show you how we live. When we move into another apartment very soon I will also make a video 😀👍.
Glad that you and your family are nicely settled - for now anyway - in your comfy apartment in Penang. Home sweet home - the place where there is love, laughter, toys, laundry and a warm kitchen. 😊
Ipoh or areas outside of the bigger cities would be much cheaper. But I guess you guys are used to Penang. Glad you are still here and putting out cool videos.
Thanks. Actually Ipoh is pretty expensive when it comes to Airbnb. May also have something to do with lots of stranded tourist having booked good deals of Airbnbs long term....
When I was a teenager,this McCallum area mostly many old houses,this building not even exit, through your video only I knew it has changed soo much.penang is my home town.take care and stay safe for you n family.
@@lcb8888 It is more expensive but you can only stay one month o to and be more free like this. And of course you can use the AC all you want, and there is high speed internet and all kinds of movie channels and Netflix. Nice furniture, comfortable new beds, everything you need for cooking, hell, even shampoo and wash detergent 😀
try renting in the west side of Penang, say Balik Pulau. It may be small town, but you always find good content where ever you go. Not many videos from that area.
Don’t know if you have visited this place not that far from your place! Hin Bus Depot Arts centre! Weekend arts and crafts, food! Fun place for the family too! Hin Bus Depot is an art and events space located in George Town, Penang. Established in 2014, the space is run by a small creative collective that curates the contents of the space, which includes art exhibitions, parties, music gigs, theatre productions, festivals, fashion events, brand launch, street art and a whole lot more. The space started off with only an exhibition space and an outdoor stage, and now expanded with cafes, restaurants, bars, tea house, artist studios, yoga studio, library and a few others that will be joining the ‘Hin Family’. Hin Bus Depot supports and showcases progressive and upcoming artists, artworks, events and art forms.'
Is this area public housing? I might be wrong and it might be just an old apartment area. But as i understand owners of public housing arent supposed to profit ie doing airbnb and what not ... but anyways 🤷🏼♂️
USD400? That’s seems a little bit pricey for that area. Or may be I have lost track of the current rental market. Not sure 🤔 but anyway that was a very nice video. Stay safe and I look forward to see your next video. 👍🏻👏🏻🧢
You can get a cheaper apartment but we are only staying for one month, so this is always more expensive. You can get an apartment in this area for 700 RM. We don't want to stay permanently though...
Thanks for a very interesting video! What caught my attentiont is the HUGE COMPOUND surrounded by units of the apartment. Very uncommon to have such a BIG SPACE above ground. What floor was it on? And what is the name of the apartment?
When you said $400 a month rental, is it US$400 or RM$400 ? Also can you do a content for Monday Macallum Street Night Market near you. Thanks ahead. Would like to stay there short term when in PG.
It is 400 USD a month. Which is of course not so cheap but it is an Airbnb and including all bills. This market?: th-cam.com/video/9xEMifhFmBo/w-d-xo.html
@@yvesthesleeveNo.Night market only operates only at night and it's like move around flea market from different areas without any set ground shops. The night market is in Jelutong area on Friday , farlim paya terubong area on Wendesday and I believed it's at Macallum area on Monday.Over 100's vendors selling from foods, clothing, electronics,kitchen utensils etc... that is very cheap.
USD. Actually it was 1400 RM which is a bit less. Including all bills though, AC in all the rooms and high speed internet, fully furnished. But longterm not including bills and additional costs you get those apartments for 700 RM a month.
@@0014929 Yes, I know but we wanted to move around. Now we have been in Malaysia 10 months and we always stay one or two months in one house or apartment. Of course this way it is more expensive but we have freedom. But still, we get good deals.
@@ainunnajihah549 Yes, people seem not to realize this. Also including AC in all the rooms, super high speed internet, it is all very well furnished and equipped with the with all you could hope for - including all bills.
Malaysian: u can find cheaper & better apartments/condo with 400-500usd per month..This one is way too expensive! Very old low/medium cost flat cost 400usd wtf.. And only have 2bedroom..Less than 1000 square feet..For me reasonable price should be RM700-800(usd180-200) for this kind of we call low cost flat..I now stay in melaka near city area..I live in a Medium cost apartment 1000sqft 3room 2 bathroom.. Monthly only RM500(usd120)..My bro condominium in KL bukit jalil next to golf course. with many facilities like adults & children swimming pool, gym room, games room, kindergarten and more..700sqft++ 2 bedroom with basic furniture..rent only RM1500 monthly including maintenance fee for like facilities & security..Still can't find tenant..Sorry for my poor english..
This is only for one month. I am well aware what is possible here in terms of price. But you rent something for a month - you pay. It has everything you could possible need, and all the most modern equipments - you pay. We have super extrem strong internet - you pay. We can use the aircon all the time, crank it up all the way - you pay. So I done the math, and it is a very good price actually. Only the internet will set you back 300 RM a month. And this is booked over Airbnb.
Malaysian has lots of calculations and comparison, that is normal as Malaysian. On the other hand hè finds those facilities are reasonable and cheap compared to his country.
That’s his natural way of speaking and there is nothing wrong with that. He was truly being himself and I believe that’s what most of his followers prefer him to be.

thanks 👍👍
Glad that you and your family are nicely settled - for now anyway - in your comfy apartment in Penang. Home sweet home - the place where there is love, laughter, toys, laundry and a warm kitchen. 😊
Cheers, it's quite alright, I like the area. Next place will be bigger though 👍

I definitely would like to see more home videos like this. You could even go more into detail.
Thank you, I just might.
Great vlog! Keep it up and keep creating! All the best to you:)
cheers mate 👍
Moonshine and Lemongrass 🙏😊
Love seeing what apartments are like around the world, awesome video!
thanks, I am glad. There are a bunch of apartment and house videos, cheers 👍
3:37 Mustard is not difficult to get in Malaysia but you have to go to the bigger supermarkets such as Tesco or Aeon Big.
Yes, I usually find it at Tesco. Here in George Town it was all gone but I found it at Giant. I think it's not so popular amongst Malaysians.
@@yvesthesleeve yeah we are more of a chilli nation you know... haha~ loads of chilli & curry, herbs & spices
@@Oon86 Haha, that is true. Me too, I prefer this. But I like mustard when I make a sandwich 😊😊

Thank you so much. Cheers
I lived in Kuala Lumpur & never been to Penang before so this is a good introduction.
You should definitely visit Penang, much more relaxed than KL
Usd400 is excessive given the surrounding of building and no recreation facility. It should be MYR900 or USD220 only.
Well, I keep repeating myself. If I rented this apartment permanently it would not be more expensive than what you say. I know this.
with furniture and other facilities, its quite fair enough

where the regular people life. Fantastic film.

Love the way describe this home.
thanks
If this area has hawkers/food stalls,should be quite convenient for your family,stay healthy,safe & enjoy,cheers😊
The area is very interesting and convenient. It's just that big street we have to cross that gets on my nerves.
Another cool home video💪✌️
Spider....watch out🏡😱😂
that thing just bit me and I am feeling a little light hearted...

When the pandemic is over, the rates will be much higher, I suppose.
Enjoy your stay in penang.
Definitely. We have been getting big corona discounts the last six months..

Yes, freedom of movement always comes with a price.

This is on the second floor. The Mutiara apartments. Underneath all wet markets and hakwers.
Thanks for the information! Enjoy youself in Georgetown and stay safe! :)

Would it have been cheaper to rent through an agent?
if you only rent for a month it's more expensive always of course. You can get it for 700 RM cold....
No shared facilities??? … pool/gym, etc.?
N, just a big court.
Unit 5 7 ? Will come and ring your door bell.
Haha, always show the video after we have left already
Just kidding, I'm not a staker.
