MY PENANG AIRBNB REVIEW
Since my only other Airbnb reviews have been in Malacca, I'm learning what I like best about them exclusively in Malaysia.  Because of that on this trip I specifically chose sea views because I can't have that at home Kuala Lumpur. Also, I hand-picked properties that have lots of places to eat and drink around them.  So here is my feedback from the stays:

Straits Quay
I slept really well here and loved the location.  My only negative comment is that the living and dining room furniture are a bit old fashioned but that was easily overlooked. 
Gorgeous luxury location, with sea views that are framed by yachts and lovely buildings
Surrounded by tons of cafes, restaurants and bars (including a Starbucks!)
Totally equipped kitchen that's perfectly suited even for a small dinner party
The bathtub and lovely closets (I forgot to shoot video of that) made the master bedroom feel like home instead of a rental
Mineral water for guests was a nice touch

Maritime Suite
I slept well here also.  My biggest complaint were the small things like the sponge and kitchen towels weren't clean and there was no kitchen roll to avoid using them.  I chose not to eat or drink off/from anything there and ate out and drank from bottles.
Great view from this breathtaking double height ceiling
Surrounded by tons of affordable restaurants and cafes, including one bar (there's even a mini mart below the building).  
Playful and modern furnishings and décor
Super fast wifi
Great for groups of friends or a family
