Lovely 3BHK Bungalow Apartment - The Nest
Chandrasekharan and the caretaker Mukundan are very nice individuals who offer a very comfortable stay. All they ask is that you respect their place and please do treat the house as your own. We were in and out of the house as we had to get a few things done although were very comfortable when we went back to sleep. Would highly recommend it if you're travelling to shop in and around the area or even T.nagar!

Super Cozy 1 BHK 6 can stay
Our stay was wonderful! The host Mr.Rajarethinam was extremely polite, welcoming, and made sure we felt comfortable throughout. The property was clean, well-maintained, and exactly as described. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a hassle-free and pleasant experience!

(KEL2) - Charming Renovated 2BHK 2Bath - Kellys
We stayed in the kel 2 during my father’s treatment at Chennai. and our experience was truly wonderful. The location was excellent. It was peaceful, quiet, and gave us a warm, cozy vibe throughout our stay. The apartment was well-equipped with everything we needed for a long stay, including a fully stocked kitchen. There was even a washing machine available. Although the listing mentioned that Apollo Hospital was about 4 km away, the commute was very convenient. Uber rides were easily available, also the taxis could also be found right outside the property. The manager was extremely responsive and the caretaker Khem was just a phone call away whenever we needed anything. We stayed for around 12 days, and my entire family loved the experience. The only minor issue we faced was with the housekeeping. The maid was a bit lazy and not very proactive, though the caretaker made a genuine effort to manage the cleaning himself. but improving that aspect would make this place absolutely perfect.

Spacious modern villa @ East Tambaram !
Good place to stay

4BHK Individual Duplex Home @ Ambattur
I booked Ceann's to host the Bride's family during my wedding. The place felt like home. Everything was arranged before we reached there. The host was very friendly and assisted us whenever needed. The house was comfortable good for family gathering of about 8 to 12 people. Everything was pristine and clean. I would definitely recommend the place and will also use it in the future. Thanks

Kites - Covelong
Good place to stay. The attendant was very friendly and helpful and he took care of all our request. The location was in Kovalam near the beach and a challenge to find good restaurants nearby. But overall stay was good

Zana'a Pad | 1 BHK@ Heart Of Adyar - Lovely/Calm
A good and peaceful stay. Instead of mentioning place or property I call it as a house. It was very clean, properly arranged furniture. Well maintained hygiene bathroom. Mohammed was so kind and friendly.Definitely I will recommend for a peaceful and home like stay. Great location, close to the beach. overall had a wonderful stay.

A Home Away From Home
Rahul's property was exceptionally spacious and well-located, offering convenient proximity to OMR and access to essential amenities. The apartment's generous size and fully functional kitchen were particularly noteworthy. I plan to return for a future stay.

Azze' Beach - Entire villa with beach access
Second time at This property, thanks Mridula for being extremely welcoming and for accepting my requests .. Highly recommend !

Anchorage - Mesmerizing villa with lawn, BB court
Beautiful house with two bedrooms. One bedroom can accommodate 2 people and the one on the first floor has 2 master beds that could accommodate 4 or 6 people. House is beautifully decorated and maintained well. Caretaker Padma was a nice lady who made coffee for us and was helpful. Quiet surroundings with absolutely no disturbances. Good restaurants near by and they also deliver food. Drawing room was beautiful. Overall everything was good. Just there is a bit of mosquitoes in the lawn and they also get inside if the doors are left open or opened and closed often. Found it difficult to sleep in the ground floor bedroom due to mosquito bites. Take odomos or any mosquito repellent with you. Only thing the place lacks is a swimming pool, but the beauty of the house compensates for that. Beach is like 5 minutes walk. Overall super happy with the place and planning to there again soon.

Nature's Nest
A perfect 👌 place for couple of families or a group of even 10 people. Very safe 🤙. Very well maintained and comfortable. U can come back again. That’s all to sum up.

Heaven in ECR
Mr Senthil is a fantastic Host. He gave clear instructions and it was so easy to check in. House was very clean and matched the photos and description as well. Apartment complex is so well maintained, extremely safe for families, especially if you are travelling with a small kid. We loved the house and can't wait to be back. Zomato is easily available and they deliver to door step.

Privacy at its best @ home!
I had a wonderful stay here! The place was very comfortable and felt like a home away from home. As a single woman traveling alone, I felt completely safe throughout my stay. The host family, especially Vasu Chettan and Amma, treated me like one of their own. Their warmth and hospitality truly made my experience special. They were always just a call away and went out of their way to help me find places and navigate routes in Chennai. The home is well-maintained, clean, and comes with a proper kitchenette – perfect for anyone who prefers cooking their own meals. Also, the pictures on the listing are 100% accurate – what you see is exactly what you get. Would absolutely love to stay here again whenever I visit Chennai. Thank you so much!

Aquamarine Seaside Villa with Swimming Pool
We had a wonderful time during our stay. The place & amenities were exactly as described. The place was amazingly clean and well furnished. Perfect place in ECR with proximity to the beach. We thoroughly enjoyed it.

Beach view villa
Whatever is described by the host, is what you will find. The entrance to this place is just before MGM Dizee world. The place itself is one of the group of private homes inside the compound. Well maintained property with a clean pool which the kids would love. I requested for a late check out and the host accommodated even though there were new guests in the evening. I’d definitely recommend this getaway if you want to peel away the city’s chaos. Note: you’d hear screams from picnic goers to MGM park. Nothing bothering though. No instamart, Zepto, bb, Blinkit etc so bring your own essentials. The caretakers were very polite and helpful.
