short term rental

[HIDDEN]

Hi,
I am interested in relocating to Malaysia from India as we are having visa problems here. Foreigners are not so welcome anymore
I am coming to Penang in early January and need a rental property for about 3 months while we check out the various areas.
Quite liked Batu feringhi but not ideal for me as I dont drive, so really need somewhere with access to shops supermarkets doctors and so on.
Have been told to look at the Penang bridge side of the Island.
Any suggestions please.

Hi Sonny,

It would be worth researching Tanjong Bungah, Tanjong Tokong and Gurney Drive areas. There are lots of rentals available. Try to get one that is based on medium term rental and not a holiday letting. In practise their is no difference except for the price.

I cant advise about the south of the island as I havent any knowledge.

Batu Ferringhi is not too bad for bus connections these days but short of superrmarkets, hospitals and banks

Hi Sonny,
I live in Tanjung Park, Tanjung Tokong. I very rarely drive, as everything is withing walking distance. The condos are close by restaurants, eateries, doctors, a mall and grocery store. Gurney Drive is a short taxi or bus drive away.  I know there are several rentals available, even for short term. If you are interested let me know and I can put you in contact with someone who can arrange a rental.
