    Yes, people are right, KL is one of the cities in the world that has a big value for your money.

    What a crazy coincidence-I stayed at Scarlet Suitz last October! My experience was mixed. The location was great for exploring nearby attractions, and the staff were incredibly welcoming. However, the facility itself didn't quite live up to its promotional hype. The gym was small, the pool needed better cleaning, and the noise from neighboring rooms was disruptive at times. Additionally, the cleanliness and comfort of the rooms, especially the bed linens and living area, could be improved. While the staff's efforts were notable, the overall value didn't quite match the price. If you're considering a stay, keep these points in mind!

      USD1,500 sounds a little bit more expensive than usual. Somehow, I feel that there are some other places in KL that offer a good stay below USD1,500.

    Cool to see you made it to KL!
    I stayed in Scarletz suites before, I wouldn't recommend it to others who might consider it by the way. You'll be waiting 20 min for an elevator because its gets so busy with Airbnb guests and the weekends are horrendously busy. Also the walls are paper thin and you can hear everything from your neighbours, and the traffic and cars roaring past at night.
    If you're gonna stay in that sort of area, I would recommend Star residences instead, which was shown in your video. The apartments are more spacious, higher quality, less noise, less busy and only slightly more expensive!

    It's a common small sized 1 bedroom unit as found in such cities. Obviously $1,500 is a huge premium for short stay.

    How would you compare to Dubai, price-wise, quality of life for money, and networking opportunities??

  • @vsevolodpetrolhead8689
    @vsevolodpetrolhead8689 3 місяці тому

    Lived there too. Not bad, a bit too touristy area tho. Also nice was Ceylonz Suites(five senses, dont go with those cheap on airbnb), its located in a better area with lots of cafes and I even met monkeys on the street!
    "Stars suites" besides all that youtube hype actually suucks, Scarletz is really waay better.
    And the best experience for me was in RuMa(on more luxurious side, 5-star) and Element(4-star with kitchen, dont know if there's long-term options)

    Could you find anything to eat that wasn’t cooked in palm oil?
    How hot & humid was it?
    How were the grocerie prices?

      You can live in Kuala Lumpur comfortably for around $2000/month including everything...It's an affordable luxury city and a great place to live.

    • @tuomaskiv
      @tuomaskiv  3 місяці тому

      very hot & humid, less than Bangkok tho. I haven't paid too much attention to grocery prices, ordering food is like 20-40RM per meal. You can find pretty much any kind of food.

    • @tuomaskiv
      @tuomaskiv  3 місяці тому

      If you don't want palm oil, you shouldn't come to Asia, many foods in Asia use some form of palm oil. Stay in the EU to avoid that.

    The apartment looks very small for $1500 per month. That is actually a rip off. That's getting close to 60% of London prices for the same square footage, which is ridiculous for Malaysia. Don't rent something like this if people are ripping you off, it just encourages more rip offs. The kitchen is tiny. This is basically a studio apartment with an enclosed bedroom. RIP OFF.

    Hey Tuomas ! I loved this video . I work with entrepreneurs like you who have around 20k subscribers to help them to grow to 100k subscribers in under 6 months with Proven Strategies and systems which includes all the services from like helping you with viral content ideas , high quality editing in your videos , high CTR thumbnails to Helping you with Growing your UA-cam Channel . I actually helped Chirag to achieve 92k subscribers in under 11 months . Could I do a free audit to see if I can help you do the same ? I just think it's really important that more people see your content and want to help you on that mission
