We had a great stay. The 2-bedroom apartment was exactly as described, very clean, and well-maintained. The kitchen was well stocked with quality utensils and cookware, which made preparing meals easy. The Wi-Fi was reliable throughout our stay, and everything worked as expected. Overall, a comfortable and hassle-free experience. We would happily stay here again.

Sabiya is a very kind and welcoming host. She warmly greeted with traditional Kashmiri kahwa on arrival, which was a lovely touch. Communication was excellent throughout the stay, and any requests were handled quickly and promptly. The apartment was clean, comfortable, and well-maintained. It is conveniently located near a big supermarket making it easy to settle in, especially for a longer stay. Thank you, Sabiya, for your kindness and for making my stay in Srinagar so pleasant. Would happily recommend this place to other travelers. :)

Instead of paying for a 4 or 5 star hotel I HIGHLY recommend everyone to book this place instead. Host was also super friendly and helped us across city tourism info a LOT! I’ve never had such an amazing Airbnb experience. Will be coming back!

What guests usually ask

The questions that come up before most bookings — answered the way we'd answer them on WhatsApp.

What makes Maskan different from hotels in Srinagar?

Maskan offers complete privacy in an independent furnished apartment — your own kitchen, living space, and entrance. No restaurant markups, freedom to cook your own meals, and a host who lives next door and knows Srinagar personally. It is a 5-star Airbnb experience at a fraction of the cost of a comparable Srinagar hotel.

How do I book a stay at Maskan?

Book directly via WhatsApp (+91 9906693535), phone +91 9797738767, or email rafiqiestates@gmail.com. Booking direct saves you up to 10% — that's the platform fee other booking sites charge.

What payment methods do you accept?

We accept cash (INR) and UPI for direct bookings.

Is there a minimum stay requirement?

There is no strict minimum. We accept short stays of 1–2 nights as well as extended stays of several months. For peak season (April–May, July–August), we recommend booking at least 2–3 weeks in advance.

What is the difference between a Studio and a 2BHK apartment?

Studio apartments (Noor 3A, Chinar 3B, Sukoon 3C) are loft-style units on the 3rd floor with a king-size bed, kitchenette, and bathroom — ideal for 1–2 guests, starting from ₹3,000 per night. The 2BHK apartments (Tarseel 1A, Nazm 1B, Posh 1C on the 1st floor and Bahaar 2A, Mehfil 2B, Gulab 2C on the 2nd floor) have 2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, a full kitchen, private balcony, and living area — ideal for families of up to 4 guests (up to 6 in Mehfil with the convertible diwan), starting from ₹6,000 per night.

How many apartments are at Maskan, and on which floors?

Maskan has nine apartments across three floors. The 1st floor has three 2BHKs (Tarseel 1A, Nazm 1B, Posh 1C). The 2nd floor has three 2BHKs (Bahaar 2A, Mehfil 2B, Gulab 2C) — accessible by stairs only. The 3rd floor has three studios (Noor 3A, Chinar 3B, Sukoon 3C) — also stairs only. There is no elevator.

What amenities are included in every apartment?

All apartments include high-speed WiFi, free parking, inverter backup power, room-darkening blinds, bed linen, towels, iron, hangers, LCD TV, an RFID-controlled main gate, and CCTV in common areas. 2BHK units (1A, 1B, 1C, 2A, 2B, 2C) include a full kitchen, washing machine, and private balcony. Studio units (3A, 3B, 3C) include a kitchenette and king-size bed.
