There is a private entrance at the homestay for the convenience of those who stay. The accommodation offers airport transfers, while a car rental service is also available. Everything from start to finish, from the spacious and comfortable room. The location is great, quiet and safe. Guyathri was kind and welcoming. An incredible conversationalist. She gave me a wonderful list of places to visit in Colombo. Ended my journey at Barefoot gallery/cafe. Highly recommend. Read a review about the blinds and there wasn’t an issue.

All units at the homestay come with a seating area. The homestay offers some units that feature a terrace and inner courtyard view, and units are fitted with a private bathroom and a desk. At the homestay, each unit is fitted with bed linen and towels. I stayed here for one night with a local family. I arrived very late, around 2 a.m., but the owner was waiting for me, welcomed me warmly, and helped me settle in, which I really appreciated. The room was spacious, clean, and cozy. Even though I stayed only one night and left early in the morning, I felt very comfortable. I would especially like to mention the kindness and helpfulness of the family who own this place. They are very friendly people and make you feel welcome and at home. Highly recommended if you want to stay with a local family and experience true Sri Lankan hospitality.

Featuring city views, Geoffrey Bawa's Home Number 11 provides accommodation with balcony, around less than 1 km from Bambalapitiya Beach. This property offers access to a terrace, free private parking and free WiFi. Featuring a private entrance, the guest house allows guests to maintain their privacy. I especially loved the warm, discreet service. and that most of the staff have been in Mr Bawa's service for many years prior to his passing. They have a palpable sense of love and respect for the late Mr Bawa, his legacy and property. Their reverence and devotion is the most heart warming to encounter and speak volumes for the man we came to pay homage to.

Featuring a private bathroom with a bidet and free toiletries, units at the homestay also provide guests with free WiFi, while some rooms here will provide you with a terrace. At the homestay, all units have bed linen and towels. This villa was the perfect location for our visit to the passport office. We traveled to Sri Lanka and were able to obtain the passport under the emergency service. The villa is within walking distance of the Sri Lanka Immigration (Passport Office), making the process much more convenient. The place was very good—clean, spacious, and well-maintained, with big rooms. The owner was extremely helpful, accommodating our requests, and allowing us to come and go at any time. Highly recommended!
