 Our stay at Junes Apartment 

Hi

This is for anyone who wants to stay at June's apartment.

We arrived 11 April and are still here until 20 April. The apartment is fantastic, so clean, so spacious.

The baby pool is approx 30cms depth

the lap pool is 1.3m depth

the other pool is 1.2m depth

The pools are about 10 metres away from each other.

If you want to go grocery shopping Peter will take you there, but it best to have a shopping list prepared and he helps you pick the groceries if unsure.

The walk to Mutiara shopping centre is about 10 min with kids, but without kids you can do it in about 3 min. They have a pizza hut and many little eating places. It's not a huge shopping plaza, but for eating it's closest to the apartment.

When we caught taxi to Bukit Bintang, it has cost approx 9myr. From Bukit Bintang back to apartment they like to charge you 40myr. We just keep asking until we get a metered taxi. Although if going back around peak times 4pm onwards you may not have a choice but to use them for a set fee. We did that once for 20myr.The ride takes about 10 min.

From Chinatown to apartment ride is about 10min and cost us 6.90myr.

Apartment to Midvalley Mega Mall was 10myr, paid set fee of 20myr going back.Trip 15 min

Apartment to 1 Utama was 11.00 myr and this included 1myr for toll.Trip 20 min

Bring some old towels that you can use for the swimming pool, because you don't want to use the ones you use in the shower.

You are given 2 sets of towels, it depends on how often you want to wash them (washing machine is near the kitchen). It can take time for clothes to dry especially if it has been raining. Washing powder is provided.

If you are in the apartment next to Peter's (floor 13 room 7) there is a body wash/shampoo conditioner dispenser on the wall.

Also the water in the kitchen has a filter on it, so you can drink that water. We did still buy some water bottles, but I have drank from the tap in kitchen and I'm still ok.

There are little pieces of paper with info for the taxi driver on how to get to apartment, should you have any problems and also peter's mobile number.

I am leaving a stroller and a floaty vest (suited for 1.5 to 3.5 year old) with peter, so if you need to use it ask him. His other guests used the stroller peter had at Genting, but it got taken when they went on the rides.

We found taxi driver the 1st day and we were happy with him, so we used him a few times. He took us from apartment to Genting for 80myr and also picked us up from there the next day for same price.

Tomorrow we'll use him for airport as we don't have too many bags for 90myr.

Hope this info helps.

Sophie061,

Looks like you're going to have your hands full. The kids will love the pools there. They will also like the maze garden, great to film them going through it on video camera.

Genting Highlands would be fantastic for the kids. The indoor theme park will be suited more for them. If you click on my name you will see my topic on Genting and also one on Loot bag gifts. Because I've given the address of one of the shops in Chinatown, the girls will go crazy on the merchandise there.

If you need bathers for the girls I found Jusco really good quality and I chose the ones on special. They cost 20myr and 35myr. Jusco have a swimming section where you'll find bathers for the whole family, so don't look in the kids clothes section for them.

Petrosains would be another excellent place the kids would love. This is at Suria KLCC on 4th floor. There's 2 sections, we went to Dino Tech section (cost is 6myr each and under 3 is free). This cater more for the 3 and over, but the 2.5 year olds, there is a pretend sandpit area (it's not really sand, it's diced up rubber, like you find on kids playground areas) and there are bones for the kids to find with brushes and buckets.

If you go to Cosmos's World, keep in mind the older child would probably want to go on the adult rides, which is separate to the little kids area, but if you have 2 adults then you can split up. It is small, so you won't get lost. They open at 12pm, so eat lunch before you go in. But you can go in and out all day if you want to do shopping.
