My apartment included a well-equipped kitchen, fridge, microwave, gas hob, balcony, shower, toilet and AC. The apartment is located in a growing Indian residential area, so I also had the opportunity to get to know my Indian neighbors. I've had very good experiences. The manager of the apartment, Mr. Asko is a kind, honest, trustworthy and very considerate man. Even in difficult matters he was committed with advice and action. My apartment was very clean. I was provided with fresh drinking water every day. If someone asked me the question, would you go there again, I would spontaneously answer: yes. The apartment is also suitable for long-term stays. Thanks to the manager and his team for a long stay in a pleasant area. Indian restaurants and grocery stores are also within walking distance. I can highly recommend the Chalai market, including the fruit and vegetable market. Distance from the apartment about 3 KM. Via Rikscha.

I had a truly beautiful experience staying at Coco Homestays. Subin and his wife were incredibly helpful, friendly, and easy to talk to — they made me feel at home from the moment I arrived. Subin kindly shared with me some sacred local places to visit, which was very meaningful for me, as the purpose of my journey in India is to pay my respect to Hindu gods and devas. The location of the homestay is perfect — peaceful and very close to important temples and spiritual sites. They also recommended delicious traditional local food, which I thoroughly enjoyed! The room itself was clean, comfortable, and just what I needed to rest and recharge after temple visits. I’m grateful for their warmth and hospitality — it truly added something special to my spiritual journey in India. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a soulful and comfortable place to stay
