Short term rental

Yesterday

I'm looking at traveling to KL for a month or two for physiotherapy and convalescence, and I'm wondering how to go about finding suitable accommodation in a quiet area (near conveniences but away from the noise and the touristy parts) in or around KL.

I am reluctant to use Airbnb because I always like to inspect a place in person, as I am picky about mattress firmness (I get back pain if it's not supportive enough).

Any ideas as to how I'd go about searching for accommodation? Can I do it once I'm in Malaysia (e.g. estate agents, etc)?

I would like to have an entire place, and my budget is up to say 5000 MYR per month.

For a 1–2 month stay, I’d choose by the physiotherapy clinic first; KL distances can look short, but traffic, heat and rain can make daily trips tiring. If the clinic is near central KL, compare TTDI (quieter residential feel, local shops and MRT access, though some condos are a walk from the station) with Bangsar/Bangsar South (convenient and rail-connected, but busier and hilly). Desa ParkCity is calmer with everyday amenities, but you may rely more on Grab or a car. RM5,000/month may work for a modest furnished whole unit outside the most premium blocks; utilities, parking and deposits can be extra. A practical approach is to book a few nights near the clinic, then view monthly furnished units through local agents in person. Test the mattress, night noise, lift, shower access and walk to groceries/rail; confirm total cost, deposit and minimum lease in writing. (Disclosure: I help run RestReserve.)
