A charming greeting from your host Natasha and you are then ensconced in this delightful, cosy (yet functional) space. I stayed on my own for two months and it was perfect for my personal needs. Immaculately presented and very comfortable. Being right opposite beautiful Howrah Beach was perfect! And looking over the lovely garden (when you can drag yourself away from the beach!) you will be delighted by the sound of a myriad of birds and the sighting of a cute little bandicoot or two - skittering and darting around in a very amusing manner. A happy, busy family live above, so you will hear some expected, reasonable household sounds on occasion. Natasha left me to my privacy and was not intrusive, but I knew she would be swift to reply if I needed anything. Highly recommend this cute, cosy pad.
