My stay at Sunil's flat was peaceful and relaxing. If you have to catch a morning flight, the VIP Enclave is at a very convenient 15 minutes distance. Compare this with staying at the city centre - you got to invest at least two extra hours plus allowances for uncertain traffic. I was delighted to have personalised services from him including picking from and dropping me at the airport, taking out on a city sight seeing tour and advising me on how best I can, on my own, travel within the city. His charges are very reasonable and did not seem to be fussy about it. As a local Kolkata resident, Sunil is very knowledgeable, helpful and can advise you on almost any of your needs in India, i.e., business, medical and spiritual visits anywhere in the country. The kitchen needs some attention though, the rooms are clean and well ventilated. So, I would highly recommend Sunil for a satisfactory 'homestay' in Kolkata.
