  • This apartment was all that i wanted and more: within reach of Chennai but away from the traffic of the city. The place is spacious, clean and comfortable, with a well-equipped kitchen, fresh sea breezes and a view of the ocean. The internet connection is reliable. The family downstairs is lovely: gracious, considerate, and helpful in all matters. And i miss the home-made food you can order from them! I had friends over for dinner and they all said the place is exceptional. Quiet streets around for walks. Trips to Mahabalipuram and Pondicherry are easier from here.

  • We just got back from a wonderful trip to Chennai, where we were hosted by the Srinivasans in the their Mellow Madras luxury rental house! Wow! The house exceeded all of our expectations and the online descriptions. High ceilings, marble floors, very clean, everything works as advertised, or better. The physical setup is wonderful. Better than we had imagined. But to top it off that's not the best part. No, the best part was the warm welcome into their family that was generously offered by the Srinivasans. We only wish we could have stayed longer. They repescted our privacy but immediately we flet at home and welcomed. It was really magical. We look forward to a return visit. It's a great way to really be in India, outside the hotel cocoon. Nandri, Sumathi and family!
