This is a basic homestay, perfect for a few nights in Kochi. The room we had was clean, the owner is incredibly welcoming, kind, and hospitable, and the location is absolutely perfect. The Chinese Fishing Nets, restaurants, Santa Cruz Basilica church, Dutch Cemetary, beach, and main shopping district in Fort Kochi are all within 15 minutes walking distance.
One note about the deluxe A/C room -- the air conditioning was preset to about 26C, a little warm for our liking and it was not possible for us to change it ourselves. It wasn't a big deal for us, but thought we'd mention it. The host provided toiletries, toilet paper, and a good deal of helpful knowledge about the area. She can also organize trips and transport.
This homestay was about an hour and 15 minutes from the airport at night so you might want to budget 2 hours during rush hour (5pm - 9pm).
