AIRBNB REVIEW : IMPERIO RESIDENCE, MELAKA | Assalamualaikum semua ! Welcome to my blog !
Okay last week, I went to Melaka for my honeymoon. Decided to go for Melaka as it was a last minute decision. We couldn't decide on which place to go for the weekend. We can't go far as our budget was limited, it's either PD or Melaka, and we opt for Melaka.
After days of searching through places to stay, between the hotels and Airbnb, I've decide on Airbnb. I've located an amount of RM500+ for 2 nights, and this is the breakdown for the places
For hotels, at that price, and on my selected dates : Pros, got breakfast. Cons, no seaview, no balcony, no bathtub.
For Airbnb, at that price, and on my selected dates : Pros, got balcony, got bathtub and got seaview. Cons, no breakfast.
So I'll go ahead with the Airbnb, as I prefer to have that 3 amenities, as breakfast can easily be found anywhere in Melaka. This is Melaka we're staying at. So many food choices.
Okay let's talk about this Airbnb unit :
IMPERIO RESIDENCE, MELAKA
It's located at the heart of the city, just beside the DoubleTree Hotel. This residence is above the Imperio Mall, which looks abandoned, I think because of PKP 2 years back. Maybe.
Checking-In was a breeze. It's self-checkin. Just collect the keys in the mailbox at lobby and you're good to go. For my unit, the owner provide a free parking spot, as they applied for the season pass. Parking doesn't have it's own spot. It's free parking. you can park any box you want as long as it's in the box or not you'll get clamped. But some unit I've heard, you have to pay for the parking per entry. Price range from RM3 - RM7 roughly.
Our unit is located at the 23rd floor, and upon reaching the room, as I opened the door, I could see the beautiful seaview that I've always dreamed off. Such stunning sunset. We arrived in the evening around 4 pm roughly, and the sun just heavenly.
The unit consists of one queen bed, one sofa, a smart TV, toilet complete with shower and bathtub, and I must say, the bathtub also has a beautiful seaview. The TV complete with an android box for your Netflix movie-binged, and also got Youtube as well as others. Wifi is available and the connection is good.
Just a small note, if you're standing on the balcony, you can see the large view of the seaview and one abandoned building halfway through construction.. But if you're from inside or from the bathtub, you will see a small portion of the building in front. I'll share on the pictures if you can't much imagine the words explained. Hehe.
The balcony consists of two chairs and a table, and this is where me and my husband had our quiet breakfast. I really love our breakfast moment. With the morning sun and the sea breeze. It's really what I am always look for in a vacation. Maybe for next year, I'll try find a place near the beach.
The bathtub is quite big, and very comfortable, just if they have more floor mat in the toilet, should be great. As it's kinda easily be wet, and took quite sometimes for the floor to be dry. Shampoo and body shower is also provided in the shower area. I can say, their toilet is very clean !
They also have a small kitchen/pantry area. complete with a medium-sized fridge, induction cooker with 2 pans, plates, cups, forks and spoons, enough for 2 people stay. I purposely choose a studio-type room instead of one-bedroom. As I am looking for a small simple room to stay in for the weekend.
The pool located at this residence is very big and very nice. For family stay-cation is very recommended. Complete with kids pool and also playground.
All in all, I can say, this unit is worth it. If you happen to come and visit Melaka, and wanted to stay in the city but also getting a seaview, with a quiet environment, give this unit a try. I'll share the link for the booking below.
