We believe in the power of meaningful conversations to bring people together and make positive changes within ourselves and the world. While we may not have all the fancy amenities of a typical hotel, we're here with open ears to listen to your stories, sorrows, and dreams. We have rooms available for stay in both ground floor and first floor. You can meet other guests on your stay here with us and open your horizons with warm conversations. The space Our place raison d'etre is located 1 km away from Kazhakkoottam town and well connected by Kazhakkoottam - Menamkulam road. It is close to the heritage city of Trivandrum and also houses the largest IT Park of India. But inspite of that, it is secluded from the humdrums of madding rush of the crowds around. We've got two furry friends here as integral part of our crew - Poppy, our German Shepherd, and Millie, our Belgian Malinois. They have their own cozy kennels in a nice, secure fenced area. Don't be surprised if they bark when they see you, they're just being protective. But most of the time, they're actually pretty quiet and well-behaved. Guest access Our guests can access the seating area in the shared patio, our reading room, lounge, dining area and bedrooms on ground floor and first floor. During your stay Long ago, the Greek thinkers used to engage in intellectual colloquy and conversations to nurture their thoughts and knowledge. We look forward to follow the same traditions in raison d'etre. We appreciate warm, meaningful, intellectual conversations under the sun and the delightful hobby of reading which can be the origin of many other colloquiums and close interactions. Our guests can interact with us in the lounge, the reading room and the seating area in the open and let our conversations flow along. Other things to note We want to create a peaceful and classy atmosphere where people can have meaningful conversations. We want our guests from all over the world to interact in a healthy way, learning about each other's cultures and becoming friends. Our place is a hub for exchanging ideas and having positive discussions that can bring people closer together. We don't think of our place as the best for wild parties and drinking. But don't worry, if you want to have some fun and a little dance after a few shots of whiskey, we won't stop you! ## Property amenities ### Internet - Available in the apartment: WiFi ### Bedrooms - Bedroom ### Bathroom - 1 bathroom - Shower ### Outdoor areas - Patio ### Comfort - Air conditioning ### Pets - No pets allowed ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoking not allowed ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector not reported (host has not indicated whether there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property; consider bringing a portable detector) - Smoke detector not reported (host has not indicated whether there is a smoke detector on the property) ## Policies ### Check-in Check-in time starts at 4:00 PM Minimum check-in age: 18 ### Check-out Check-out before 11:00 AM ### Special check-in instructions You will receive an email from the host with check-in and check-out instructions ### Pets Pets not allowed ### Children and extra beds Children are welcome ### Events No events allowed ### Smoking Smoking is not permitted ## Important information ### You need to know Extra-person charges may apply and vary depending on property policy Government-issued photo identification and a credit card, debit card, or cash deposit may be required at check-in for incidental charges Special requests are subject to availability upon check-in and may incur additional charges; special requests cannot be guaranteed Onsite parties or group events are strictly prohibited Host has not indicated whether there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property; consider bringing a portable detector with you on the trip Host has not indicated whether there is a smoke detector on the property This property has outdoor spaces, such as balconies, patios, terraces which may not be suitable for children; if you have concerns, we recommend contacting the property prior to your arrival to confirm they can accommodate you in a suitable room This property is managed through our partner, Vrbo.
