Great place to stay in Jaipur, close to the pink city, safe and calm housing area with gates, green garden and trees around the house so that it stays cool, very very nice hosts - we had some good talks about indian mentality and things to see as they are both interested in travelling. The room had a lot of character with a huge bed and colonial style furniture, traveller magazines to read and a nice front porch. I would strongly recommend this place :-)

Great little place in Jaipur that is very relaxing, friendly host who is full of information. The best thing has to be the location though, handy to the old town and only five minutes from the main street which is full of restaurants. Would highly recommend.

Awesome. Arvind was an incredible host - a great way to see a bit of india from the inside. Loved Arvind's stories, insight into the fascinating realm of india, the artefacts on display. Incredible experience -- if you don't stay here you are missing out!

Location is great as it provides good value for money. Arvind is doing a good job by creating right ambiance for the place.

The best place I stayed at in India. A unique homestay experience with very friendly, engaging and helpful staff. Wifi, food and laundry available at reasonable rates. The location is close to the best restaurants on MI road and not far from the bazaars of the old city.
