Govind’s place is a wonderful house to stay for fun vacation with family and friends. Beautiful house and green tropic surroundings with peaceful neighborhood make it a great choice. To top all this, the host family is simply wonderful, arranging breakfast and morning tea, making recommendations and info about fun things to do, and making us feel totally at home was so wonderful that we extended our stay. A truly great place to stay. We are coming back here.

Beautiful stay at Thiruvananthapuram. Sad we could not stay for more than a day. The house is beautifully decorated and great for long stays. Really well setup, with all amenities you might need. No problems at all. The host is easily contactable. It’s very close to the airport as well, barely 500m away. definite recommendation especially for family trips

This trip with my friends became more memorable because of the host’s humility and kindness. He himself took initiative and suggested lot of local places to visit. The statutory placement of the building was just right. The rooms were well ventilated and we definitely did not require ac even on the hot sunny day. Overall, it was a pleasant stay. Highly recommended.
