    I had a wonderful stay in Srinagar from 14th to 16th October. Muhtashim was a fantastic host, very welcoming, helpful, and responsive throughout our stay. The hospitality was excellent, and everything was well taken care of, making my experience comfortable and hassle-free. I truly enjoyed my time here and would definitely recommend this place to anyone visiting Srinagar. Would love to stay here again on my next visit!

    This airbnb is best place to stay in Srinagar city. This was first time trying airbnb in the city and I am glad I tried this instead of a hotel. The place is situated in the city centre. All the cafes supermarket are at walking distance. The place is so cozy and you feel like home. The host is very nice.

    Absolutely loved our stay! The house is beautiful, cozy and truly feels like a home away from home. The property has a cute little kitchen which is very useful and has everything you need for a comfortable stay. The host is incredibly sweet and helpful. She even helped us find all the nearby essentials, which made our stay so much easier. The property is located in a great central area, close to food streets, malls, markets and other essentials. Everything is conveniently accessible. Would definitely love to stay here again! ❤️
