The place is just right to have relaxed holiday. If your holiday plan includes lot of shopping then this place may be bit inconvenient to you. It is about 60 minutes away by public transport from major shopping areas. Thew nearest metro station is about 20 minutes walk and there is no direct bus to take up to metro station. It drops you half way through. For Indian food there is a small Indian restaurant close by which serves authentic Indian food at quite reasonable price. The super market across the street provides almost every thing you need if you plan to cook your meals. Overall lovey place to relax.
