    My host was exceptional and very helpful. She took me for a walk around the neighbourhood and that was the highlight of my whole Kerala visit. The property had lots of trees. I loved that.

    It was a great place to start my South India trip. John is a very friendy and generous person. I booked the airport transfer and a day trip with him and was always at ease. The room is as shown in the profile and very clean.
