What recent reviews say
May's homestay offers clean, comfortable rooms in a refurbished heritage house steps from Jonker Walk. Owner Aunty May is consistently warm and helpful, with strong water pressure, air-con, and a working kitchen, though guests note the lack of a microwave and some road noise from the nearby street.
Based on limited recent reviews, so treat this as low-confidence.

Swing & Pillows By iBilik @ Jonker Street (Melaka)
4.6(636)✓ Google-verifiedPublishes prices
Guests consistently praise the spacious, clean rooms and unbeatable location near Jonker Street attractions. Prices are reasonable for the size and amenities (shared kitchen, work desk, game hub), and the place suits families and groups well. Minor niggles surface: no lift for upper floors, occasional dust, and self-service check-in that catches some visitors off guard.
