Description from owner
Description
We, myself, wife & 2 kids live in Fort Cochin on Beach Road and are just a stone's throw away (1 km) from the town, local bus stand, ferry, places of interest and historical significance, in an excellent neighborhood. The beach and the remnants of the old Fort (from which Cochin got its name) is just a 5-min walk down the street; there is a walkway leading to the fabled Chinese fishing nets, fish vendors - from where you can buy the fish & get it fried at shops opposite.
We started the home-stay on the 1st floor in 2015 with three rooms ( bathrooms attached). There is a kitchen with utensils/ cutlery, Refrigerator, Coffee-maker, balconies on both the east & west sides, spacious living room where you can practice yoga, books for reading, rooftop for sunbathing etc. We would be happy for booking long term/ year round clients.
