Description from owner
Description
This is a perfect place for slow travelers, who has had their fair share of tourists traps, and wish to enjoy a laidback and genuine Asian community.
The apartment is without all the normal clutter so it is easy to keep clean and tidy. The idea is to attract 1 or 2 people who wish to escape a hectic lifestyle and enjoy the peace and tranquility as well as privacy by the sea. To recharge your batteries and maybe figure out what your next step in your life should be.
We offer great discounts for longer visits so please get in touch if you wish to stay longer than a week. If you are flexible with your dates you can rent our other unit "Lotus Oriental Vintage Experience" for an even lower rate than this one. Just get in touch so we can start talking
Our ambition is also to encourage single travelers to stay at LOTUS so the rate for ONE PERSON is only USD 25/night the for the first week.
2 PEOPLE pay USD 35/night and 3-4 PEOPLE pay USD 45/night.
The apartment has 2 bedrooms, each one with comfortable queen beds. One bedroom has air con. The other one a ceiling fan. There is one extra room that we use as a dressing room. You will have a fully equipped kitchen and 1,5 bathrooms

It's located in Ujong Pasir, a most genuine and friendly mixed malaysian neighborhood, only 5 min walk away from the Portuguese Settlement, where they serve delicious seafood.

The local bus No 17 goes from Melaka Sentral to Ujong Pasir and stops 200m away from our building. On the way it goes through the old part of Melaka as well as the new business district.
