A bright white house situated at the entrance of a lane. !/F & 2/F are Homestay, accessible with outdoor separated staircase. There are 6 rooms with attached bathroom, public dining area, a communal kitchen with basic kitchenette at the 1st floor, a hall at 2nd floor, balconies and a terrace for sunbath ,Yoga or drying your clothes. Indoor is designated to Non Smoking. And solar panels are installed for supplying hot water bath. We aim to provide a room with good cleanliness and comfortable environment, and most important a home feeling to our guests! My homestay is family friendly, great for single or group travelers.
I am an Indian, my wife is a Chinese, we have only 1 kid We are friendly and inter-cultural host, we would like to know and make friends with people around the world. We understood what travelers wants, so we always do our best to help and keep my house in good condition and clean, and I always do my best to provide all necessary information :)
My house is situated in a quiet, friendly neighborhood, but not far from tourist hotspots, most are walkable distance. There are 2 street stalls providing local snacks and masala tea just outside the lane, There is a temple,a Mosque and a Church in 200 M radius around the homestay.
