Welcome to a beautiful family

We are a lovely little family of 3 hail from south India. My daughter is moving to university next year. We speak Tamil at home but very proficient English. We love to host young professionals or students as we live away from our home town and love to learn different cultures and meet nice new people. We are very social at the same time respect our guest's privacy.

We live in a private prestigious estate called 'Calthorpe Estate' which is surrounded by lot of greens and well maintained situated in Edgbaston Village. There are hardly rental properties in this estate as they are all owned by top cream of people like Doctors & Solicitors. Our house feels like a perfect holiday home. The city centre is easily commutable by bus and the bus stop is less than 5 minutes walk. If you prefer to walk straight to the city centre then it is just 35 minutes. From the city centre the train connects to all parts of the UK.

We have 5 bed rooms, but we let only 2 bedroomsm(a double and a twin) to our guests. The 2 guests will share the master bathroom and hence it is always kept clean and tidy amongst the 2. There is an open living with a big TV and a big central island stylish modern kitchen shared with our guests. We own the remaining 3 bedrooms and the main lounge and dining rooms. There is front and rear garden with a patio doors open when the weather is nice.

We offer Free Car share for bulk shopping, sports or other common activities like hiking or badminton, holidays, regular Sunday Hindu temple visits with mouth watering food, etc.

We deep clean the entire house including kitchen and bathrooms weekly once. You don't have to worry about any cleaning or maintenance. All you need to do is after each use keep them clean for the other guests.
