    Shanela and Ashaan were perfect hosts, who received me on arrival and showed the accommodation. Young and enthusiastic, they were helpful and kind.
    The accommodation is large and old style with period furniture. Everything that was promised were provided including use of washing machine.

    Great people to deal with, easy going and accommodating.

    Shan is really helpful to us and also her husband. A very clean place and also very accessible. Shan got a lot of connections then we went to her friend to had our spa and it’s really relaxing. We really had fun in Sri Lanka. Surely we will contact them again once we plan to go back in Sri Lanka. Highly recommended.. you will not waste your money. An excellent place to stay. Not a waste of money.. xx

    Shanela and Ashaan are the best possible host someone can get. They are friendly and fun to be with. Inspite of their busy schedule, they took time out for me. I have met Shanela's dad. He is simply amazing. I have also met their friend, Nuwan who joins them for a quick lunch. Everyone has been warm and kind. I felt belonged. I am absolutely in love with their place as well. It's located in a quiet posh locality. There is a barricade just next to the house. So absolutely safe. The lawn is just perfect to relax and unwind. The kitchen is super cute. The living room is massive and bed in the room is very comfortable. The place is more beautiful than it is in the picture. I can go on and on about my stay as my experience with them has been fantastic. I plan to visit Colombo often and I would look further than Shanela's place. I came as a guest and left as a friend. So glad I chose to stay with them. Definitely recommend!!

    Well located with lots of good and cheap, affordable or expensive restaurants nearby. If you search a bit, you will be able to have dinner at a different place every night without walking more than 5 minutes. Thai, Chinese, Japanese, Sri Lankan, Italian (pizza!), Indian and Western (with proper burgers) cuisine are round the corner. Supermarkets are at walking distance and a small beach is close by (2km). Located a bit main road the house (and garden) is quiet.

    Shanela and Ashan are enthousiastic musicians. I can advise you to bring your instrument and join the occasional jam. I didn't bring mine but enjoyed listening just the same. In the afternoon Shanela teaches piano to children and the house is full of energy. If all becomes too much, the garden offers a pleasant retreat. The garden might need some work though. The grass is starting to take over :D.

    Shanela and Ashan are hard working people. As a guest you will need show some independance. Yet, despite their busy schedules, Shanela and Ashan are very much involved with their guests. Thank you for the hospitality! I really liked my long stay. I will surely stop by once I am again in Sri Lanka.
