This is a wonderful homestay run by a lovely family. It’s conveniently located near the airport, making it a great choice for a transit stay. The food is absolutely delicious—homemade with love and care. I’m a pescatarian, and they thoughtfully prepared special meals just for me, taking my dietary needs into great consideration. I truly appreciated their hospitality

Great manners, perfect hospitality and attention to details. This is how I see these hosts. They look after You properly. Examples? Right from the start they call You by Your name, even if one of those Ladies did not meet You before, when coming across You introduced Herself and knows who You are and what is Your name and when You were supposed to come; and each of Those Ladies have such manners; another example: arranging the transport also for additional need that I had, all with booking the pick up for me with their app; another example? When I had to wake up very early for my flight, without any request from me, I heard very quiet and gentle wake up knock to the door 40 min before the pick up, 5 min before my aggressive wake ul call of my phone; it was much better wake, really; I can say more of the examples, for a one night stay ot was a-lot of good surprises.

2 bedroom flat, close to the beach (a 10 min walk), super close to lovely supermarket and a couple of eating options (cafe in the supermarket and a restaurant next door with a small playground). Easy to get bolt/uber from this location. The actual flat was a little run down but considering the price it was value for money. We couldn't figure out the shower and were missing a couple of things but staff were helpful and sorted us out. We were there 4 nights and Hans sent a cleaner after 2 nights to clean the flat (they did a great job) which was much appreciated. He also let us check out late as my flight wasn't until 4:30pm. Overall, a good place to stay if you prefer your own space and a bit of freedom. Great location. Pool was also a plus.

Location is good but maybe next time the host could be kind enough to give details on how to get there when contacted as most of the local transport Bajaji were not familiar with the place.
