Guest access The guest will have access to full home Other things to note About the neighbourhood (Karelwadi, Girgaon): The apartment is located in Karelwadi, Girgaon, one of Mumbai’s oldest neighbourhoods. The approach to the building is via a narrow lane, with buildings close to each other, which is typical of this historic area. The lane reflects the character of an old, lived-in neighbourhood, which may appear slightly unclean at times to some guests. However, once you enter the apartment building, the passages and the vintage wooden staircase is nice ans clean. The apartment itself is maintained to a very high standard. We ensure the space is always clean, pristine, and comfortable for our guests. The area is absolutely safe, including at night, as is Mumbai overall as a city. ⸻ Layout of the house: Below is the layout of the house. You can compare this with the photos on the listing for a clear understanding: • The main entrance opens to a staircase leading up to the apartment. • At the top, the passage begins. The first door is the bathroom. • The second door is the caretaker’s room. • Further ahead is the bedroom. The terrace is attached and accessed directly from the bedroom. • The last door is the living room. The kitchen is accessed through the living room.
