This property offers access to a balcony, free private parking and free WiFi. The property is non-smoking and is located 8.3 km from Filipino Market Sabah.

3 storey huge comfy house to fix all my 13paxs family members. The house was clean and tidy, a complete facility with all the necessities, an auto mahjong table also brings a lot of joy for my family. The owner was also a super responsive and helpful person, i was a forgetful person and left my things in the fridge and I contacted the owner to help me keep and collect them later. Owner still offers to help send the items but I don't feel good to trouble him since it is my own mistake so I arranged a grab express! Overall me and my family have a happy stay with Jiale homestay:)
