Very beautifully done home. Warm welcome. An awesome home away from home. Silent neighborhood. We had a great time.

Oh my gosh, our stay at Vivi's was just amazing. Beautiful clean house. Nice room with AC and hot water shower. Vivi and her sister Yangtsa were just amazing hosts and made us feel like home. We've had delicious breakfast and dinner and nice talks. Their English is also top and they are happy to help you with anything you ask for. Totally recommend this place.

How lucky we were to meet our host Vivi! Through it our stay was a delight. Very attentive to the least of our needs, it was a caregiver in all and for all: it has brought us to the supermarket, helped us buy a Sim card, good advice for transportation. Regarding housing the room was spacious and very nice. A true encounter with South India in Cochin with Vivi.

Housing fits the description. Beautiful house with spacious room. We had air conditioning. Local breakfast. Vivi is not there but her sister replaces.

Very well decorated place. Very friendly host and maid. Great communication. Upon booking, I received very detailed instructions on how to get there by each mode of transportation. When I got there, Vivi's sister was there and was very friendly. I had a great chat with her about various parts of the world, good food, local delights. Her maid made some great food for us from her hometown. Excellent!

My stay was great! Vivi and her husband werre very helpful in answering ANY question I had immediately before arriving. Vivi worked with me and made sure I arrived safely even though my flight was delayed for the next day. My room was so clean and neatly put together. Vivi had the room stocked with toiletries (tissue, toothpaste, rose water tooth brushes even a great grand of hair conditioner). There was ample amount of space to place my personal items. The bathroom was clean the bed was very comfy along with the pillows and blankets. The optional air condition was heaven in the humid climate. Each morning from 8am-9am was a traditional Kerala dish. The kitchen was very spacious, always spotless and always supplied with all you could need for cooking a meal. There were also other nice guest staying at the establishment. It felt like home away from home and I really enjoyed myself. We did not want to leave. We plan to stay here for future trips to Kochi and surrounding areas :). A must stay place. You can book and think twice about th decision. Oh yes the airport is only a 30 minute drive away. we took a Uber but there is also prepaid taxi service for a fee of 1000 rupees I believe. We paid about 673 for our Uber there and back. Mosquitoes are bad however each room is supplied with a bug zapper that I used habitually when home. The bug zapper made for restful itch free nights.

Detailed instructions sent so the house was easy to find. Really friendly and helpful - I had a great time. 20min uber to Fort Cohi.

I will definitely want to stay there again if I'm going to be in the area. Not far from the Ernakulum's center, but in enough distance to avoid the noise. Nice, clean, arty and cozy place with good wifi and wonderful hostesses with handful tipps about the area and more. Yangtsa made us feel home immediately. Definitely a recommendation.

Choose Arun's place for a cosy stay, even if you remain home bound you will not be bored.

Arun's place is well located in central town. He is a great host as all details and question have been handle in a very professional manner. The place has all the amenities you can have in a modern hotel and very upscale compare of what you can find in India. I felt like home at Arun's place and I will definitely recommend it and come back.

This is a clean and well furnished apartment that is also very accessible.

Arun's place was perfect. A nice quiet area to get a good sleep and the apartment itself was a great slice of luxury in India. We really enjoyed our stay and Arun was a pleasure to deal with. Easy check in and out too.

Great apartment very central to Kochi central [easy walk or auto rickshaw] very clean apartment most things you need in the kitchen, great Wifi. You have to ask for your room to be cleaned and fresh towels if you want them.

This is an ideal homestay in Cochin for a small family. Had a comfortable and pleasant stay here with my family.The home decor,facilities and ameneties were par excellence. Arun was always in contact with us to make sure that we had a safe stay over here.I would gladly recommend this place to everyone.

I would do it again! Loved it!

THIS IS PARADISE. Arun's apartment is quite big, very cosy and fully equipped with everything you might need. It's perfect to get some rest from animated India or to have a calm place to work. I stayed six days at Arun's apartment, half time for work (the wifi is very fast and reliable), half time for leisure (with Uber it takes a bit less than half an hour to go to the main touristic spots in Fort Kochi, and it's very cheap). The communication with Arun was perfect, he replied to all my questions very fast and gave me good recommendations for restaurants, sightseeing etc. He was not in India but I met the caretaker and the security guy and they were always ready to help, too. Filtered water was included, what I appreciated a lot. The AC works very well and there is a fan in both rooms (living room and bedroom), too. I was able to use the washing machine, and Arun even provided the washing powder. It really felt like a home away from home - thank you Arun!

Wilson is so generous and tries really hard to accommodate your needs. Arrangements during an early hour arrival to have a key available was beyond the normal assistance. Such an awesome host. We had cleaners come in Mid -week were excellent.

very homely and spacious. The rooms were very very clean and the staff was very helpful. The stay is very close to many local eat outs and is in a very premium location. One of the best AirBNB places I have been in.

A studio apartment, well equipped with all necessary things that make you feel at home. Thank you joseph.

joseph was a friendly guest. even though he lives in a different place. He always had good communication with me. the best thing about his home is that it was clean and well maintained. When requested, he was kind to arrange a brand new duvet. Weeks before i even arrived the place. Thank you so much for your kindness and hospitality. I would surely recommend joseph place for anyone travelling to kochi.

All wonderful! Thanks!

We were very well, super large room, comfy bed, everything clean and tidy with fridge in the room, outside has a little to cook kitchen, we could use the washing machine to wash our clothes and the site is good in a quiet area but close to shops and hosts a delight, helpful and attentive. Would definitely recommend it !;)

We were very agusto all great, house, cleaning, bed treatment were so good we decided to extend my stay! Volveríamos..gracias certainly !!

What a first time experience on Airbnb, now I know why people vouch this platform and guess most of the hosts are like Rohan. Such a wonderful space in heart of city, creatively done, attention to detail and Rohan’s passion to host his guests at the best possible way, all makes an experience to cherish. If you have to peace out and explore your inner creativity, then this place…

Great stay and awesome host. The rooms and amenities were perfect as a traveller requires.

Very nice place. Tastefully done. Bimal (the caretaker) was always there to help. His simple home cooked meals were really good. The bathroom is a bit small but did not really cause problems. Fairly centrally located, yet quiet and residential. Would stay again

Really enjoyed the stay at Vivi d's place, really clean, modern and in a prime location. Staff were very friendly and we felt very welcomed. Super fast wifi, great air con, clean bathroom, would for sure stay again. thanks a lot!

If you are traveling to Kochi and want to feel at home, this is the place to stay. Vivi's and Yangtsa's hospitality and helpfulness is undescribable and I feel so lucky that I got a chance to get to know them and stay at this amazing place during my 2,5 months in Kochi. I have instantly become a part of the family and couldn't have chosen a better place to call my indian home. The house is spacious and very clean and has everything you need and if you have any special requirements, Yangtsa and Vivi will do everything to make you feel comfortable. It's so easy to fall in love with this place and people! I had the best time!

What a great place, tranquility comes to mind. Wish I had stayed longer to take it all in. Great host 5*+++++

Wow! what a place and hospitality! right in the heart of cochin city. Thank you Art Villa and Rohan. The place is on a quiet dead-end street, yet just 5 minute drive to MG road which was a huge convenience for me. I recommend this place to all who is looking for a peaceful and comfortable stay, it's ideal for corporate visitors, medical tourists or anyone who prefers an urban setting in a serene atmosphere. The owners are primarily into music & arts which is visible in the decor, very comfortable and tastefully done. And yes.. they're starting a cafe too which will cater to musicians and artists. Well! all the best Art ville team. C ya soon!

Perfect stay and it's very convenient to people if they have to travel nearby Ernakulam on work or leisure. There are lot of restaurants and cafes nearby which makes it easier for a traveler. We were hosted by Vivi's sister and she ensured that we felt at home and there were no drawbacks at all. We shall surely come back to this place if we visit Ernakulam again.

Our stay at Basheer's apartment was absolutely fantastic. The apartment is exactly as described, with all of the amenities you could think of set out in a very spacious and luxurious floor. We visited here after quite a while travelling so we wanted a bit of relaxtion and comfort and this place was great for it. Basheer and his wife were accommodating in every way, driving us to the local grocery store on arrival (after we asked a simple question as to where it was), helping to make the apartment even more comfortable with the addition of a HDMI cable, and inviting us you have a traditional Indian breakfast with them which was very enjoyable. All in all I could not recommend this place more highly, and it is such good value. Even for the two of us it was great, but if you had a larger group it would be even more affordable.

The host, Mr. Nainar, was at hand to welcome us and check us in. The apartment was perfect in all ways; location, proximity to grocery stores, restaurants and access to the city. Mr. Nainar had the fridge stocked with basic items to get us started with tea, coffee, milk, cereal and delicious local mangoes. It was a complete pleasure to stay at the apartment and the hosts friendly, enthusiastic and affable nature made our stay memorable. THANK YOU Mr. Nainar and we look forward to meeting you again.

Great property. Location is near to major hot spots in ernakulam

Excellent. Jolly was really friendly and cordial and got me all the help I needed to roam around the city. Besides I had some great time spending with his extended family, and of course I must say that I had been offered to have some kerala style breakfast with family. His home is at the banks of backwater and you have such a nice view from the backyard. Especially there is a tree almost grew into backwaters and I climbed on it many times :-). Whenever I visit cochi Jolly will be my go to host for sure. Thanks again Jolly.

Jolly's house is very unique not only it is next to a lake / river but also because it is built on 1 acre land in a traditional Kerala architecture style. The house has a very cosy and traditional atmosphere and his mother makes some delicious South Indian breakfast and meals. The room is cosy and has a great view of the lake. The wifi is a little slow but good for browsing. There is a verandah to chill and hammock outside good for lazing. Getting to Fort Kochi is easy once you know the way. I will definitely recommend staying here and I will myself again.

When you look at this place in pictures it's really pretty but when you go there you realize the pictures have failed to do justice to this beautiful place! I booked the place for two days and had the best experience ever. The hosts are really kind and welcoming and go out of their way to make you feel comfortable and at home. Each corner of the house has something unique, and speaks volumes about how much effort the hosts have put to make you enjoy your stay. The place is well connected to the city and is neat and clean. And for that matter even the breakfast each morning is freshly prepared and served as per the convinience of the guest. A stupendous place because of the special efforts put up by the really warm hearted host who treats you like family. Definitely staying here again whenever I go next! Don't miss on Amandaville if you are traveling to Kochi!

Vivi's home was very comfortable and Vivi was a great host. Good communications and an accurate home description. However, it is a little "out of the way", so ensure your taxi has a GPS! Ours did not and got lost a few times which made getting there "interesting". Other than this we had a very pleasant stay for one night, and would have liked to extend it. Another time perhaps!

Good accommodation consistent with the description and location in a quiet (for India)

We come to India from Bali, an d found nice place to stay. It was really comfortable and nice place. The owner always helps us, we are family with small baby, and ask to rent car. So she help us and car was rented. Also we was looking the tickets to Bangalore, and she helped us again .The house is nice, its even better than on pictures) So we loved and want stay more, but going traveling around country) Our family recommend to stay that nice place) Thank you

My stay with Vivi D and her sister was truly amazing. They welcomed me as an old friend and treated me like one during my entire stay. They are really helpful, open and warmhearted and will without an effort are makin their guests feel at home. The house is even more beutiful from what you can see on the pictures and that is because on the pictures you can't really sense the warm and cosy atmosphere. The stylish furnishing and decoration are not to be missed as well. My overall experience was really great!

Tasteful decor, fun, inspiring, artistic themes, laid back, hospitable and unique in every way...The food is divine. Yangtsa is a true master of the culinary arts!! You have to visit the place even if it just to taste the food. Simply brilliant!!! Thank you Vivi for an amazing stay.

Can't say enough good things about this place! Easily one of the best air bnbs we have stayed at so far. Prior to arriving in Kochi, Vivi got a hold of us to make sure we had transportation and directions to the place. It's added on the maps so if you Uber it should show up and it's really easy. The place has been recently renovated and has a very modern and artistic look. Every part of this house is clean and the decor is so charming! The bathrooms are equipped with all the amenities you would need and so is the kitchen if you want to cook anything yourself. We stayed here for 6 nights and going back for another 2 before we leave Kerala. My husband and I felt at home from day 1. Yangsta (Vivi's sister) is such a fun and sweet host. Our chats felt like talking to an old friend and she was so helpful when we were trying to plan things and if we ever needed anything. Through our crazy India trip, Rest and relaxation were much needed and we were able to enjoy that here! If you are looking for a place in Kochi then I would say don't even think twice about booking here. It is perfect and all the other guests we spoke with loved it as well. Thank you so much Yangsta and Vivi for all your hospitality and making our stay so wonderful :)

Travelling with my mom in Kerala we had to book an overnight stay and we chose Vivi as ourhost . We felt awesome as she was super friendly and welcoming, the house was hosting more young and beautiful people from around the world and the house was perfect - clean, spacious, super nicely decorated and vibrant of positive energies. We would recommend this place for all the above plus the very convenient location that is close to main transport hubs in Ernakulam, still in a peaceful and quiet neighbourhood. Thanks Vivi for hosting us!

Great stay with very friendly hosts Santhosh and his son Thommy. The house is spacious and clean with well equipped kitchen, high speed internet and large HD television. The place is only a few meters away from main Thevara market so it's walkable but still very quiet. Checkin and checkout went very smooth. Overall a great stay and value for money.

Wow - this place looked nice from the pictures, but the pictures do not do it justice - in real life it is AWESOME. The staff were so helpful/accommodating and the facilities were unreal. I hope to come back to Kerala just so I can stay here again. If you are considering staying in this property, 100% go for it.

Our stay was ideally past, as hoped in terms of pictures and the description of the ad. This was made possible by the availability and attentiveness to Faisal who was responsible for welcoming us and who has struggled to make our lives easier, we get transport to interesting price (the area is residential and away from Fort Kochi) and everything we needed during those few days. He is friendly and efficient. Both chefs present are discreet and competent. This property (and the effectiveness of Faisal) allowed us to combine the pleasure of the pool and the decor (the view of the Backwaters is wonderful) and the pleasure of the city and harbor.

To begin with.. As you just park your vehicle, your anxiety level is sure to shoot up ! This place is just a treat to the eyes, mind n body. The photos posted really don't do justice to the actual beauty of this place. The backwaters, the pool n garden, the peace and the food- all in all a must visit place. There are 3 assistants, humble and great to be with :) The Chef, is simply brilliant with all Kerala cuisines ! We visited this mansion as a family of 7, would love to go back here any day.

A great home stay to stay in Kerela. Its in the center of the city but once you enter the place it feels you are in a secluded place. The best part is the pool and the backwaters. Faisal is a great host and don't forget to ask him to prepare food for you.

Very beautiful villa.The house kepper is very warm and helpful.The house is very clean.If you stay in Kochi, this is the best (URL HIDDEN) the way, they cook chiken well!

The host canceled this reservation 288 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.

Nice property, beautiful location and a good pool, facing the backwaters. We were a group of 4 families. The fourth bed room was not bath attached, one family had to use a bathroom which was one floor below. The advertisement was misleading as it mentioned 4 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms. Two rooms in the property were locked and not available for guests. The food was good. We appreciate the good service by the care taker Mr. Faisal, who was available on just a call. Overall experience was good except the bedroom without a bathroom.

I was in love with the place, an amazingly well maintained property. It's modern mansion with all amenities and looks better than shown in the pics. The service was superb, the manager Faisal with the caretakers really treated us well, and provided everything needed. Would love to come again.
