The unit is located right above easily-accessible waterfront restaurants, cafes, bars, boutiques, massage parlors, hair salons, bike rental, and Sam's Groceria (a grocery store with local and Western goods). Tesco and other restaurants are less than a ten minute walk away. The neighborhood around Straits Quay is very clean, safe, and convenient in its closeness to restaurants and other amenities. Spend your time enjoying a drink on the balcony. Or you might want to head downstairs to enjoy a classy meal or listen to live music at a pub by the water. Take the kids to Straits Green, a free and clean water play area walking distance from the apartments. And don't forget to enjoy a walk day or night by the water, along paved walkways.
Our unit is in a wonderful location as it is located in between George Town and Batu Ferringhi. Spend a few days exploring the historical UNESCO city and a few more walking along the beaches or checking out The Tropical Spice Garden, The Penang Butterfly Farm, or ESCAPE Theme Park.
**GETTING AROUND**
**BUS**
Rapid Bus line 102 picks up right outside Straits Quay. Rapid Bus line 101 picks up across from Tesco (about 10 minute walk). Both of these buses will take you either towards Batu Ferringhi or towards town where upon they will eventually stop at the Komtar Bus Terminal (where you can catch any other bus). There is also a Penang Hop and Hop Off bus stop for the beach route a few steps outside the unit!
**UBER**
If you have mobile data we recommend downloading the Uber app to your phone. Uber drivers are much more affordable than taxis on the island and the service is highly recommended.
**TAXIS**
If buses don't suit you or if you don't have mobile data there are always taxis that can be found right outside of Straits Quay.
