Cheah's place was nice, clean and quiet, good for a relaxing stay. The family was all friendly and helpful. I really felt like staying in my uncle's or cousin's house:) Hope to return someday. Surely recommended for anyone looking for a friendly place around Ayer Itam area.
How do I book?
Contact the host to check their availability and ask them any questions you have about staying with them. Once the host confirms they’re available for your dates, you can complete your booking.
When do I pay?

You then pay your host on arrival or as stated by your host on their profile and agreed by you on booking. Please be cautious if a host requests advance payment if its not included on their profile. Our hosts have been advised that if they wish to request advance payment they must make this explicit in their profile. We do not recommend the use of Money gram or Western Union.
