There are homestays and there is a home to stay in. A home is not only made up of walls and windows but the people who live there and take care of it. Nestled in the heart of Shillong, this beautiful homestay welcomes you as if you are one of their own. Victorian interiors, warmth and a beautiful garden is what you can look forward to when you stay here. The house is well furnished while keeping in mind the tiniest of details to make your stay comfortable. But it’s just not the house that makes you visit memorable. Hello to Mayborn, her daughter Janess and their beautiful canine and feline companions. I stayed for a month, but made friends for a lifetime. The fun and chaos that I have had here, O boy!! For all you solo, couple and group travellers, looking for a homestay, I would highly recommend this homestay. Great food, good ambience and gorgeous host. I have returned from their homestay with warmth, love and amazing friendship. All my love to Janess and Mayborn. I hope to see you guys soon. Much hugs and kisses.
