Aakashh is an excellent & very helpful communicator. We arrived by bus around midnight &, thankfully, Dilesh (father) came on his motorbike to meet us. We followed him about 750m through very narrow lanes to their place. . His parents run the homestay. They are also lovely. The room is newly fitted out & very comfotable, just above the river with a good view over activities below. We ate dinner there twice & breakfast once. Chetna organises very nice, local food.

Varanasi itself was soooo busy with Shiva festivities & it was sooo hot, it wasn't pleasant going anywhere. The motorbikes honking impatiently in the narrow lanes, already choked with people, was just horrible. I got smashed by one & ended up with a big bruise on my arm.

The owner is really kind. He always paid attention to my needs and always checked I wasn't missing anything I need. He even booked a boat service for me at sunrise, which was the best experience in the city. I highly recommend it.

La situation, l’accueil, la calme.

Straight to the manikarnika ghat. Easy walk to the Vishwanath Temple.

The stay I had is a bless. A/C room and clean bathroom.
