During your stay

  • 🧑‍🤝‍🧑
    During your stay

    I live right next door, so I'm always available if you need anything — whether it's about your stay or help exploring Kashmir. My family and I are happy to assist, and we have a dedicated helper for things like carrying luggage and making sure your stay is comfortable.

  • 🚕
    Day trips & cabs

    We can connect you with reliable taxi drivers for day trips to Gulmarg, Pahalgam, and Sonamarg. You coordinate and deal with the drivers directly — we simply share contacts.

  • 🍳
    Breakfast (optional)

    Homemade breakfast — omelette, Kashmiri bread, parathas, and tea. ₹500 per person, served in your apartment after 8 AM. Please let us know a day in advance if you'd like to opt in.

  • 🍽️
    Meals

    Only breakfast is available, and that too subject to availability — no other in-house meals are served. The apartment has a fully equipped kitchen if you'd like to cook. Swiggy and Zomato both deliver here, and several cafés and restaurants are within walking distance.

  • 🧹
    Cleaning

    We don't provide hotel-style housekeeping services. We encourage guests to maintain a tidy space during their stay. A deep clean with fresh linen can be arranged on request, at a chargeable cost.

  • 🔌
    Power backup

    The property is inverter-backed. Power cuts are rare and usually under 1–2 hours. Heating appliances won't work during a cut, but lights, WiFi, and charging points stay on.

  • 🚭
    Smoking policy

    Smoking is not allowed indoors. You're welcome to use the balcony or outdoor areas.

  • 🤫
    Quiet hours & no parties

    Maskan is in a peaceful residential area, so please keep noise to a minimum. No parties or events, and quiet hours apply after 10 PM — especially through the night, out of respect for our neighbours.

  • 🚫
    No local-ID bookings or visitors

    Bookings from guests with local Kashmiri IDs are strictly not accepted. Only guests who have booked are allowed in the apartment — strictly no visitors of any kind. If you need an exception, please speak to us in advance.

  • 🪪
    Guest ID verification

    After your booking is confirmed, we'll request a valid government-issued ID for all guests, as required by local regulations. Please note that bookings from guests with local Kashmiri IDs are strictly not accepted.

  • ⏰
    Early check-in & late check-out

    Subject to availability — please ask in advance.

  • 🛡️
    Safety & security

    RFID-controlled main gate, CCTV in common areas and entrances, and a fire extinguisher on the premises. Quiet, secure neighbourhood.

    The best and cleanest Airbnb we stayed at during our entire Kashmir trip. The property was exactly as described and matched the photos perfectly. Sabiya was an exceptional host—always available on call or Whats App whenever we needed assistance and quick to respond to any queries. The place was well-maintained, comfortable, and made our stay truly enjoyable. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Kashmir!
