  We had a wonderful three nights at Pondicherry Apartment. The space was perfect for our needs as a small family with a toddler in tow. Our little one enjoyed playing… read more with the abundant toys and we were able to keep safe ‘zones’ for him with the sturdy doors. We were glad we brought a travel cot but can see that he would have loved the bunks if he was a bit older. There were steps but perfectly safe and shallow for a toddler to navigate. The kitchen and bathroom were just right and spotlessly clean. We were extremely comfy in the king sized bed and the main rooms/space was lovely. The view was spectacular in all the weathers we experience (it was April after all!) and a beautiful sight to wake up to each morning. Andy and Lyd were such kind and friendly hosts and we couldn’t have asked for more from our stay. Highly recommended by us for a peaceful, happy holiday!
