Need HELP with locating apartment

10 years ago
Hello,

My wife and I are here from US to retire and looking for an apartment / terrace link houses to rent.

We have been looking in the Miami Beach, Tajong Bungah and Batu Ferringhi are for the past week. Unfortunately we have not located a suitable place for us to live. It seems if we like something it is very expensive or the affordable units seems very dingy.

Can someone tell us what other area we should be looking in. Is the area between the airport and the Penang bus terminal is a good place?

Here is what we need/want:

1) Close to bus stop
2) 800 RM to 1000 RM for rent, will consider up to 1200 RM if the place is very nice and has a view
3) 2 or 3 bed rooms
4) Kitchen with stove for cooking
5) Air con in master and living minimum
6) Hot shower in master BR minimum
7) Has a wardrobe in bed room
8) Clothes washer
9) Do not want to be in a very busy city area, ie George Town,

Thank you for all you can do to help
