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!

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

Taara Luxury Apartments -NewYork
The place looks exactly like the pictures. Maintained well. We stayed for 2 days and we really liked the place. Everything was clean and well maintained. Check-in and check-out was smooth. There is AC in all rooms and hall which is a must for Chennai heat. Located very close to Apollo hospital and a lot of restaurants in walking distance. A good parking space is also present

Villa Waves - Bali Beach Villa on ECR near Kovalam
Highly recommend this stay! Our group stayed here for a wedding, and the location was perfect—less than a five-minute drive to the venue. While the entrance is unmarked and can be initially confusing to find, Google Maps guides you accurately. The space matched the photos—clean, with a beautiful pool (perfect for late night swims), property, house, and private beach. The kitchen, living areas, and bedrooms were spotless. The food was outstanding. Breakfast is included, while lunch, dinner, and snacks are affordable à la carte options. Chef Sendhil and his team were incredibly responsive to last-minute requests, from midday samosas to coffee/chai refills. The quality rivaled my mom’s homemade South Indian cooking and truly elevated our experience. The service was exceptional. Whether we needed bug spray or a new WiFi dongle for faster internet, Rekha and Teja responded quickly and efficiently, exceeding our expectations. The staff cleaned our rooms quickly but thoroughly.

BEST 2BHK near Airport | Spacious, AC, RO, Fridge.

We had a truly wonderful stay at this beautiful home. My wife & our family, all felt so welcomed and comfortable from the moment we arrived. You can feel that this house was built and designed with love—every corner, every detail of the interiors reflected care and warmth. It was the perfect setting for us to relax, bond, and create lasting memories together. A special thanks to Prashanth, who was incredibly helpful and kind, which made our experience even better. Thank you for sharing such a special place with us. We’d love to return someday!! Best wishes bro!!

Peaceful apartment in Adyar
We spent four weeks at Smrithi's property in Adayar, Chennai. The home is exactly as stated and has all the amenities; the kitchen was fully equipped, all the stores were conveniently located nearby, and the beach at Besant Nagar was only five minutes away. Check-in ad check-out was hazzle free, Smrithi accommodated our last-minute request to extend our stay by a specific amount of time. If you are seeking for a place to stay in Adayar, I would highly recommend this property. We will return back if we are in Chennai. Appreciate Smrithi for making our stay very comfortable.
