It is always a headache to find a suitable room in KL especially for new university or college students. Seniors will most probably have no trouble as they already blend in the surrounding and could easily find info regarding any room available from friends. How about those juniors who just enrolled? Me myself also having this problem of finding the right room in setapak for studying purpose in UTAR, despite being a KL-rian. Fortunately I have a friend that rented me a room though. I believe using the correct source of information does helps a lot especially for students form other states. It is very hard for them to come themselves to check out the price and location. Therefore, the most suitable online source will be none other than
iBilik.
Some of us might came across with the term iBilik before and probably never bother about it. There are some advertisement regarding iBilik as well, for instance, it was printed on the taxi's boot.
look familiar?
There are many info regarding room available in iBilik across Malaysia and is easy to be excessed as well. We can actually type in location in the search engine provided at the homepage or select the location provided on the right hand side of the homepage as well. For example, if you are interested with the room in KL, by clicking "Kuala Lumpur", more details will be shown and there is a bar which lists down specific areas available in KL. In my opinion, iBilik did a good job by categorising its information into groups that provides convenience to its visitors.
as you can see, there is a list of location on the right for borwsing purposes
after clicking a location, for example Kuala Lumpur, information about available rooms for rental will be shown with some basic info such as location, description and price. Note that on the left, there is another list of location available in KL as well. For example, if I want to find a room in Kepong, all i need to do is to click "Kepong" in the list
more specific areas in Kepong will be shown and it helps us a lot by saving time. If the visitor is interested to know more about a specific room, just click the link posted and more info will be revealed as shown by the picture below:
the description is the highlighted box. There is contact or email provided if anyone is interested to rent the room
That is basically how it works in iBilik. In my personal opinion, iBilik does help out a lot especially for students from other states. For those who are interested to find some room, be it working or studying, iBilik is one of the good source for this.
