Worth knowing

Things to know

  • ❄️
    No air conditioning

    2nd-floor — stairs only

    No elevator at Maskan. Rivaaz sits on the 2nd floor, two short flights up from the main gate. Luggage help is on call.

  • 🤫
    Quiet residential outlook

    Windows face the inside of Friends Colony rather than the main road, so traffic and street noise stay low even on busy mornings.

  • 🪵
    Kashmiri wicker furniture

    Every piece in Rivaaz — chairs, tables, beds — is traditional Kashmiri wicker craft, hand-made locally.

    I had a great stay at this apartment. The property is very well maintained and thoughtfully equipped with all the essentials, including a washing machine, microwave, and refrigerator, which made the stay really convenient. The availability of hot water and both air conditioning and heating ensured comfort throughout. One of the highlights was the host’s responsiveness—they replied within minutes and were quick to provide anything we needed. The apartment is located in a peaceful society, making it a perfect place to relax. Overall, a comfortable and hassle-free experience. I would definitely recommend it to others.
