This is the first time I rent a room in an apartment - and I’m the luckiest person to have done it with Pavitra. Honestly, I wanted to get a hotel room first, but the city was overbooked, so I was a bit forced to try renting a room. Pavitra responded very fast and she was extremely collaborative. As the room is very reasonably priced (well very cheap), I had some concerns on the quality, despite her previous reviews. Boy, was I mistaken!? The apartment is in a very decent area, and the space is much nicer than the pictures. I arrived much earlier than check in time, and it was no problem, I got into my room that was already cleaned. It is someone's private space, so I read the rules carefully before I went and respected them (left shoes at the entrance, used my own towels, etc.) so all went very smoothly. What I valued more than the room was Pavitra. She was just amazing! She is extremely intellectual, one night we talked until 1:30 am and I her life and soul is heart and mind opening. Hope whoever stays there can get a taste of that - it's an opportunity not to be missed.
I had a knee problem on my last day, and she gave me couple of herbal patches - that was also so sweet.
This is not the place to party, but if you are looking for clean and nice accommodation with a great host, this is your place! (and the apartment is one block away from the metro station, which is a great bonus!)
