Wang's BnB is a spacious semi-detached house in George Town with a welcoming host and peaceful courtyard. Recent guests praise the homely feel and attentive care, but cleanliness lapses (dusty lamp fixtures, poorly maintained bathrooms with leaking pipes) have caused problems. Updates needed to air-con, kitchen appliances, and soft furnishings.
