Just as described. Nice neighborhood. Close amenities. Local feeling but was able to get along with English just fine. Apt and host were above my expectations in anyway. Totally excellent value for money. Host assisted me everyday with sights to see, and even helped me with my laundry on my arrival after a long flight. Due to a cyclone in India my arrival was postponed by a day because my flight was cancelled. Host totally understood and didn't charge me for this unexpected delay.
