This longtime home of an elderly American man who is often abroad, is very comfortable with numerous amenities. It features many personal touches that give it more character than most rental spaces. It is located on a quiet back alley in the embassy area (Lazimpat) nearThamel. Public transport options and an endless array of eating choices are nearby. Perched on the 3rd floor above a pizza eatery with a lovely garden, this flat is perfect for the traveler wanting a unique, personal experience.

The small bathroom is Western designed with hot/cold water and shower. The patio has a grill and a ping-pong table. Guest access The entire apartment third-floor and patio space belong to the guests. Unfortunately, there is limited handicapped ability to reach this level. Large heavy suitcases can also be a problem. Sal's staff may pass by on their way to the rooftop using the stairs at one end of the patio, or come to the patio for gardening purposes. Use of the parking lot and the laundry room on the ground level is included. Of course, the restaurant and it's garden area are always available during (and even generally before) normal working hours (9am - 9pm). Other things to note We like to mention the possible "negatives" to this rental here so that there will be no surprises. One friendly dog, and two mischievous kittens live on the property. They tend to go pretty much where they like! The property is located on a narrow alleyway, so there is no access for a car, but motorcycles are OK. While the place is relatively quiet at night, there is early-morning noise from vendors shouting their wares, as well as motorcycles passing by in the alley. On rare occasions, water pumped from below ground contains high levels of iron which can affect washing both clothes and yourself! The hot water is from solar energy sources and can sometimes be erratic. This is Nepal and this rental is not a 5-star hotel!
