“Cozy Studio At Ming Garden Residence sits conveniently across from Imago, making it easy to pop over for a meal or shopping. I found the apartments themselves a practical setup for families or longer stays thanks to their kitchenettes. While not lavish, the overall value, especially with that pool, is what I would call a solid win in Kota Kinabalu.”
