Very clean room with nice comfortable bed, and good shower. Not far from main sights in Fort Cochin. Breakfast is not included but there is a communal kitchen area with fridge where you can prepare your own food.

Review: I had a wonderful stay! The hosts were incredibly friendly and helpful, providing great tips and assisting me with my further travel plans. The room was very clean, centrally located, yet quiet in a side street. Excellent value for money....

We are a small intercultural family—I am from India, my wife is from Hong Kong, and we have one lovely child. Our home is a blend of both our cultures, and we love sharing that warmth with people from all over the world. Travel has taught us how important it is to feel comfortable, safe, and welcomed in a new place. Because of this, we put our hearts into keeping our home clean, cozy, and cared for. We try our best to provide any information or help our guests may need—whether it’s directions, local tips, or just a friendly chat. Hosting is more than offering a room to stay; it’s a chance for us to connect, make new friends, and create small moments of happiness for people who travel far from home. We sincerely look forward to welcoming you into our home.
Our homestay is set in a quiet, friendly, and safe neighbourhood, offering a calm retreat while still being close to many popular tourist hotspots. Most attractions are within comfortable walking distance, making it easy to explore the area without transportation. Just outside the lane, you’ll find street stalls serving tasty local snacks and masala tea, perfect for a quick refreshment. For convenience, there is a bike rental shop at the corner, allowing guests to easily explore nearby beaches, markets, and cultural spots. Within about a 10-minute walk, you’ll find several cafés and small eateries, great for relaxing with a drink or enjoying a light meal. The neighbourhood is also rich in culture—a temple, a mosque, and a church are all within 200 meters, reflecting the peaceful diversity of the community. Nearby, you can also walk to local attractions such as galleries, nail art studio, and the Kathakali centre, where you can experience traditional performances and local arts up close. It’s a welcoming area full of charm, convenience, and authentic local life—perfect for travelers looking to experience the culture and comfort of the surroundings.
