The tour

Have a look around.

Six stops. Every corner of the floor is yours, so it all counts.

The hall, sofa and peacock triptych in the afternoon light

What this is

One home, not a hotel. We set it up the way we keep our own house, then hand the whole floor to you. The lockbox code reaches you before you do.

Who keeps it

Sourav looks after the Burrow. Message him on Airbnb for anything at all: extra blankets, dinner recommendations, or which switch runs the geyser. He replies quickly.

A little story

A day at the Burrow.

Told, with some liberties, by the platypus who lives here.

The platypus arrives at the building with a backpack and suitcase in the golden evening light

01 06As you walk up

You find the place.

Fifth floor of the yellow building with the blue railings, the one with the tree out front, on a quiet street. The lift is just inside the gate.

The platypus opens the lockbox at door 502, a small suitcase at its feet

02 06Two in the afternoon

You let yourself in.

The lift brings you and your bags straight up. The key is waiting in the lockbox by the door. No front desk, no waiting around.

The platypus lounges on the blue sofa under the peacock triptych, lamp glowing

03 06As the light turns gold

You settle in.

The hall lamp comes on and the whole room warms up. The blue sofa, the peacocks on the wall, a cup of something hot, and nowhere you need to be.

The platypus watches the sunset from the balcony with a cup of chai

04 06Half past six

The balcony does its thing.

Palm tops, red roofs, and a long slow Bangalore sunset. Bring the chai. This is the part people remember.

The platypus plays cards and board games on the pink room bed at night

05 06After dark

You stay in.

Cards on the bed, chess if you mean it, a box of six games in one. A window full of moon over the balcony.

The platypus in a yellow apron stirs a pot in the kitchen, spice jars on the counter

06 06Morning

You cook.

The solar geyser beats you to the hot water. Coffee on, spices out, the pot going. Breakfast the way you have it at home.

The platypus asleep in an armchair, an A Day at the Burrow book on its belly

And after a good day, a better night. At eleven the next morning the key goes back in the box.
We hope you come back.

Most evenings the sky puts on a show. Taken from the balcony, facing west.
