Indian hospitality is justifiably famous, and a way of life. To experience this philosophy, you have to stay with an Indian family. After several visits to India and staying in good hotels , I felt I should try out a homestay. Kolkata was always a city that has fascinated me, but also one that I knew very little about. So it was the city for my very first homestay I hoped that my hosts could introduce me to the city. My choice for the homestay fell on the Mukherjees on the basis of the previous review , praising the warm hospitality ,as well as immense concern for the safety of the guests.
It turned out to be a wonderful experience. I reached the house to find a smiling Pavan waiting ouside . I was ushered in , and a beaming Shubra (his wife) welcomed me with hot tea and delicious snacks. Immediately felt a nice rapport with them. They were exactly the hosts I was hoping for - very warm, cultured, educated and courteous. The penthouse room was spacious, bright and well ventilated, with a balcony overlooking a park.There was a sunny roof garden , where I could read and watch birds. I had opted for breakfast and one meal.Turned out to be a very good decision, in view of Shubra's excellent cooking. Not only is she a superb cook, but she also offers her guests regional and local specialities, so difficult to find in restuarants.Even for breakfast, Shubra dished up many special dishes , freshly cooked.
The Mukherjees took care of everything - from getting a sim card for my phone, catching a train etc. But there were also very nice experiences, which are not part of hosts' duty. . For instance I was invited to their charming club, where we sat by a lake and had hot snacks. The other was my search for a typical traditional Bengal style gold bangle. I would never have found it without Shubra, who knew exactly where to go, and Pavan driving us there.
Time flew and it was time to leave. I felt I was leaving very good friends.
I will definitely return to them -my very good friends The Mukherjees.

She booked as a guest but left as family member. I would consider her as my elder sister and would welcome her anytime she visits Kolkata, India. Unfortunately there are only 5 hearts as I would have liked to give her more.
