The apartment is beautiful, better than the pictures! It's spacious and well equipped, with a large balcony that's great for people watching. The host family is exceptionally friendly and helpful. The only possible downside is some traffic noise from the street which is quite common in Indian metro cities. As long as you're okay with some background noise, you'll have a great time here.
