Stays is an Unhotel (homestay) with a collection of conversations &
stories. It’s most convenient for the Sohna road corporate hub. Replete with
the facilities of a budget hotel and the warmth of a home. Cosy house with

delicious homemade food. Unlike any guest house in Gurgaon, it has a soul that

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Verdana; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">A few months ago, when we talked of Ram, our friend who travels frequently on work, he spoke to us about how he was taken in with the concept of staying at a homestay instead of a hotel. His idea of having a Workcation seems to be “working” for him. Having stayed in a few homestays across the country in the past couple of months, he is now a happy business traveler! </span></div>

<div dir="ltr" id="docs-internal-guid-e6a1b08d-d6fc-db1b-4ade-f250b92fb7b3" style="line-height: 1.2; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: "verdana"; font-size: 14.666666666666666px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Having settled in Mumbai but making frequent short and long work trips to Gurgaon, one question always plagued me - </span><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: "verdana"; font-size: 14.666666666666666px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 700; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">where could I get a place to stay that would be pocket friendly, safe and would not mind having me over for weeks together. </span><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: "verdana"; font-size: 14.666666666666666px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Till earlier this year, I suddenly thought of Shilpi, who was a client of mine way back in 2007 in Mumbai. We had been in touch on and off on Facebook and I recalled her talking about a homestay she had started. Hesitatingly I called and spoke to her as a friend. Shilpi had only one thing to say, if I were to stay at Gurgaon it had to be at Cinnamon and no place else! I was off for what I now recall as one of the finest times I have had in Gurgaon…something I did not experience in the two years that I spent there! </span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.2; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: "verdana"; font-size: 14.666666666666666px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">As a Corporate person who has to travel to Gurgaon so often, I couldn’t resist the urge to list down why I prefer staying at Cinnamon over and over again (apart from spending time with a friend that is!). Here are a few benefits I feel every Corporate person derives from staying here:</span></div>
<ol style="margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<li dir="ltr" style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Verdana; font-size: 14.666666666666666px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 700; list-style-type: decimal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.2; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: "verdana"; font-size: 14.666666666666666px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 700; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">“Unhotel” environment</span></div>
</li>
</ol>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.2; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-left: 36pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: "verdana"; font-size: 14.666666666666666px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">The Unhotel experience of Cinnamon just took my heart away. I mean here I was in a place as clean, hygienic and hospitable as a hotel, yet it was not a hotel at all. The cosiness and warmth was much more. The place buzzed with people with infectious energies - the hosts, their child, the staff and fellow guests. It was like coming back to a family at the end of the day!</span></div>

I would never compromise on the same. Cinnamon gave me a sense of security and safety. Located in a gated society with proper CCTV cameras and Security service manning the society, I felt assured of returning back to a “safe” place!</span></div>

Shilpi herself supervises the operations even though she is so busy in her professional life. Her on-and-off presence ensures that every woman guest is treated with special care (at times I think I am pampered just because I am a woman!) Books, discussion, movies, TV shows and even hobby ideas are more women centric and personally it gives a huge high!</span></div>

I did not want to compromise on work just because I was changing locations. However, what they did not cater for was the expense of stay and travel back to Gurgaon. Cinnamon’s budget rooms were a relief to me as they are economical and offer 3 star rooms at competitive rates. I would have spent a lot more had I booked myself in a hotel. And got far less. </span><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: "verdana"; font-size: 14.666666666666666px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"><br class="kix-line-break" /></span><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: "verdana"; font-size: 14.666666666666666px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"><br class="kix-line-break" /></span></div>

In fact every room at Cinnamon has quirky names - Green room, doodle room, puraani jean, etc :-) In fact, it was much better! I was “home” and it felt comfortable, cosy and warm like I would “feel” and “sense” as my own! Free wi-fi, arrangements for specific pick-ups and local offbeat recommendations that I had not experienced were add-ons!</span></div>

The thing is that I was not just welcome, I was provided service that I had least expected. It is the little things that the team at Cinnamon does that makes it so special. I have to share an incident when on one day I was required to wear a saree to work. I was not carrying one from Mumbai. Shilpi jumped to my rescue sharing one from her collection and got her tailor to do the rest at a notice of just 3 hours! Now I know why Cinnamon continues to be at No1 on Trip Advisor every year for the past 7 years! </span></div>

Am not biased, am just being honest. Shilpi’s background and experience as a Coach and a seasoned Human Resources professional makes her empathic towards her guests. She looks at each individual’s needs as her own and works around the same to make guests feels delightful!</span></div>

Both are equally good. They have two locations. My own office is just 4 kms away from Sohna Road. This gives me the comfort of not being stuck in traffic while traveling to work or for my client meetings. The proximity makes it convenient, easy and less stressful.</span></div>

Now, Shilpi’s mother also runs a homestay in Varanasi (Called GrannysInn.in - which is a #silverstartup). Seeing the hosts promote a newbie in the space meant that they really valued her work. Every item, every show piece at Cinnamon is picked up with a conscious effort of supporting local business, local art and a local cause</span></div>

My parents made me realize that perhaps it was the inhibition or “scare” of going to Gurgaon for the first time, that I was feeling the way I was.

For parents to send their children on their own, for an important exam, meant that they completely trusted Cinnamon. It is a safe and secure family place for young student travelers like us. They have 2 villas. You can choose to stay with the family or in the other villa if you want greater privacy. I loved staying with Shilpi and her family. </span></div>

Since it is located in a gated community, the noise levels are very low. The rooms are serene and with the greenery around, it gave me a stress free environment and I could carry out my last minute preparations with ease and comfort. There is a power back-up so there was no tension of power cuts and a sleepless night.</span><br />

Very strangely, Shilpi the host struck up a conversation with me. She helped me to stop being fidgety just by chatting up with me!

Today, after 4 weeks, I have my GRE score in hand and looking at it I know that soon I will be packing off to the US. One thing is for sure that if I do fly ex Delhi, I will stay at Cinnamon again for the love and pampering that I will be showered upon for sure! After all, the airport is only a 30 minute drive from there!</span></div>

A friend said she had heard of a place called “Cinnamon Stays”. “Why don’t we check it out”, she said. Tired and exasperated we made our way to the greens of Nirvana Country. As we drove through Nirvana Country we saw a quiet neighbourhood nestled in green gardens, without noise or pollution. “WOW! This is a lovely neighbourhood”, I thought. A short walk and we had a quaint plaza with all facilities, including a bank, pharmacy, eating places, a few fashion stores. </span><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Verdana; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 700; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">A great place to recoup from a surgery; all amenities and excellent service.</span></div>

I met guests from across the globe and two amazing people who I am proud to call friends. The ambience, personal care, great cuisine and friendly environment made it a perfect holiday.

The combination of breathing exercises, asanas and meditation were both physically and spiritually an undescribed experience. </span><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Verdana; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 700; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">It’s been therapeutic for my brother who has recuperated faster than anticipated. </span></div>

choice. My daughter was in Grade 7 and she had already moved 9 schools in the
past 9 years of her formal schooling. My husband being in the Army had moved
those many stations. When she was younger, it was easier to move her.
Notwithstanding the fact that my 12 year old became very adaptable, flexible
and resilient in life, we got thinking that if she was to flourish
holistically, she needed a school in a place that would help her focus on her
future than being accepted in the next school. The choice was made easier when
my husband was transferred to the north eastern part of the country where
schooling would be compromised. </span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "verdana" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">We were seeking stability
and after much thought, we roped into a prestigious school located at Sohna
Road Gurgaon. One complete term had passed since she started her Boarding
School. It was time to visit her for her 3 day break and I was very eager to see
my doll’s face, meet her teachers and spend time with her. Being a long weekend
plus 3 full days off from school, I wasn’t too keen on booking a hotel. The
long weekend meant either over booked or over priced rooms.</span><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;"></span></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "verdana" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">My friend finally suggested
that I visit Cinnamon Stays, a homestay run by the husband - wife duo Manish
and Shilpi. I had never been a guest at anyone’s place before, leave alone
strangers. Albeit hesitatingly, I put in a call. I was told that I was more
than welcome to stay and before I knew it, I was on my way to visit my daughter
hoping for a satisfying stay at Cinnamon.</span></div>

<span style="color: black; font-family: "verdana" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">I was in for a surprise as
Cinnamon scored way beyond expectations. When I entered the place, the first
thing that struck me was the genuine smile of every person I encountered -
staff as well as other guests. Let me list down why Cinnamon Stays seems to be
the ideal place for visiting parents of hosteliers and boarders of nearby
schools.</span></div>

<span style="color: black; font-family: "verdana" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">The
biggest advantage is where Cinnamon is located. My daughter’s school - G D
Goenka is walking distance away. Staying here, it took away the stress of
having to travel in Gurgaon. I could just take an auto and I was there in no
time. In fact a couple of times, Shilpi even dropped me off since she was going
the same way. Convenience of being so close to the school premises saved me a
lot of time and money. This is not just true for G D Goenka but even Pathways
that is close to Cinnamon.</span></div>

completing the check in formalities, Shilpi gave me a choice of choosing the
room since that day two double rooms were available. One look at both the rooms
and I knew my teenage daughter would love to stay at the Bollywood room. I had
missed my daughter immensely and making her stay in a room that reminded her of
her space back home was a huge value add. You should have seen the delight on
her face when I first brought her in! </span></div>

thousand errands to run in the school, we were walking in and out of the
homestay at odd hours. But the staff did everything to make us comfortable.
Imagine they would serve us breakfast at 7am and even pack snacks for my
daughter. I had never experienced hospitality of this kind. It was something I
took away as learning!</span></div>

<span style="color: black; font-family: "verdana" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">It was
the first time both my daughter and I were in Gurgaon. With ample time in hand,
we wanted to do a lot of stuff. Advice can pour in from all ends and internet
can confuse you to the bits. It was then that Shilpi stepped in and took us
through what we were really interested in. She helped us shortlist places, gave
us tips on local travel and even introduced us to some of her friends and
acquaintances. The personal touch will remain with me forever!</span></div>

<span style="color: black; font-family: "verdana" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">One thing
that my daughter missed the most is “ghar ka khana” and I missed cooking for
her. Being served authentic home made meals brought a big satiating smile to
our faces. This is not all, I so wanted to feed my daughter my signature
brownies. Guess what! Shilpi decided that I should bake in the kitchen and also
let her chef have a “dekho”. It was the most heartening thing for me as I saw
every person in the homestay gobble up my brownies!</span></div>

good byes is never easy when it comes to children. As the days to go back home

in the property. This is a benchmark to decide a good place for yourself. Hosts
should be warm and easy to approach. At the very outset, while shortlisting,
you could check how early they respond to your mail, how easily are they
available telephonically and are they able to provide you with relevant answers
to your queries.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , "sans-serif";">Hi
friends, I'm sharing the gist of what transpired in 'Cinnamon Stays', my home
away from home at Gurgaon. Manish and Shilpi make the guests so comfortable
that we forget that we are the guests. In the post dinner chat one night(That
may go on to more than an hour, without me noticing the passage of time)</span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , "sans-serif";"> even as we were chatting, some
of my random thoughts fell into place and here it is.....</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">A
very common thing that we do when we meet someone is to try to place where
their origin is, as in 'Where are you from?'</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">When
people meet me for the first time, they try to guess, and the answer ranges
from- are you Gujrati? A Marwari? to Are you 'Madras brahmin(First time i heard
the term) And often people say, 'I can't place from where you are;-)'</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">All
these set off the question- in fact reminded me of the question that would dog
me- 'Which state do I belong to?' You see, I am born to Kannadiga(from
Karnataka) parents, born and brought up in New Delhi.... And married and
settled in Bangalore(the place of my parents origin)</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">There
were enough of south Indian practices at home and at family friends place, that
was a part of me. As also was the north indian practices with friends and their
homes at young age ensured that I absorbed that too.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">It
is an interesting journey that I have had. In my early life, I had no such
question in my mind, till Geography lessons differentiated me from my friends,
as I was from Karnataka, living in Delhi (as someone put it, 'My Madrosi
friend..'.) Then came marriage and move to Bagalore- one that I hated. First
ten years I was still pining for Delhi till time healed the wounds and I
settled into being a Bangalorean( truly so when I realised my chaste Hindi had
acquired a south Indian and I wanted to have curds at the end of my meal) There
followed a phase of protest in my mind, then feeling lost as I felt I could not
own both the identities and then graceful acceptance- of the accent as well as
the fact that I am a Kannadiga.</span></div>

that I am back in Gurgaon for long periods, each thing reminds me of what was part
of my life long years ago. The colour of the soil-same as my Delhi home. The
accent. The air. The people- I can see the characteristic features of the sub
communities of North, who now wear clothes very foreign to what they used to
wear those 30 long years ago.. That just made me realise how much I had
absorbed and knew.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">Now
I am in a phase of life where I gladly welcome and embrace both the heritage
and own both in my mind. That makes me unique and interesting as people
struggle to slot me into some region of India. I realised it was made all the
more difficult by my schooling in Kendriya Vidyalaya. That is a great leveller
and laid the foundation of accepting people as themselves rather than Where
they come from.</span></div>

Much as I wanted to recall, I just could not think of any one time when I probably experienced the happiness that the man in the ad seemed to be having. Had I been working so hard? Been so busy? The one thing that seemed so striking to me did not resonate with me at all. My job profile was about traveling. In fact, because I love travel, I took up this job. Yet traveling on work was not the same. Leave alone vacation, vacation was more about the kids and less about me. </span></div>

Airbnb's homestays offer just that. A place of work by day and a home by evening. It is almost like working from home.</span></div>

There is no hurry of checking out on the day promised. Homestays are generally flexible in extending stays either for work or to combine vacations. They are great options for long stays when one is on a project work in a different city for a month or more</span></div>

The team tends to come closer in an informal setting and can prove to be a great bonding exercise since everyone shares the same roof.</span></div>

I am pretty sure when I experience business travel with Airbnb, there will be more to add.</span><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: "verdana"; font-size: 14.666666666666666px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"> Airbnb
is currently offering great discounts and travel credits to companies
that are booking their business travel stays. At prices that they are
quoting with the warmth of a homestay and a feeling of being informal at
work, must say this is one great strategy that Airbnb has come out
with. </span></div>

corners of the country and abroad to learn about food. One thing that I learnt
is that a place is defined by its people and its food. So the more I traveled
the more I learnt. Needless to say, as a solo woman traveler, I had to be
mindful of places I was visiting and especially places I would be staying.</span><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;"></span></span></div>

decided to visit Delhi for its culinary delight, I was not sure what would be <span style="font-family: "verdana" , "sans-serif";">the </span>safest place to stay in Gurgaon. Lucky for me, a dear friend suggested to give Cinnamon

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "verdana" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 11.5pt;">I had inhibitions about
being in Gurgaon and this was my first time in an Indian homestay. I had just
about landed, when I got a call from Shilpi, not just to give me directions but
also to tell me that Gurgaon is very safe and that I should not go by hearsay.
It was heartening to note that someone I had not even met was being so warm
towards me. </span></div>

some of the reasons that I can think of are:</span></div>

What began as a professional relationship over 10 years ago is now something that I can proudly call “friendship”. Meeting Shilpi and getting to know her during my professional relationship was always endearing. When she decided to move from Mumbai to Gurgaon, I understood that I was not just losing an excellent client but would be missing her chirpiness and enterprising temperament.</span></div>

She launched Cinnamon Stays. When her entrepreneurial venture started to see success, I was extremely happy to see her grow from a single </span><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: "verdana"; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 700; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">homestay in Gurgaon</span><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: "verdana"; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"> to a </span><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: "verdana"; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 700; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">silver startup in Varanasi.</span><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: "verdana"; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"> As luck would have it, I too moved to Delhi albeit only for two years and we could catch up more often. I paid her a visit and the full day that I spent with her in Cinnamon revealed to me much more than I thought I knew about her and Cinnamon. </span></div>

It’s a place where you “Sense” and you “feel”. It is a community of guests, travelers, small entrepreneurs all of whom rely heavily on the social media.</span><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: "verdana"; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"> I was amazed to see that magic of being connected via social media with interesting and like minded people who </span><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: "verdana"; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 700; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">walk in as guests and walk out as friends.</span></div>

She explained that her friends played the role of evangelists and somehow contributed in making the business flourish. </span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.2; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: "verdana"; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">“Friends of Cinnamon” kick started with an aim to create a safe and reliable network of people who would be guests at both the homestays purely on the basis of referrals and word of mouth.</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.2; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: "verdana"; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">As she unfolded the initiative, I could not help but wonder how important the safety of her guests was to her. As a friend, I have always spoken so much about her and her work that, invariably some of my friends have booked in her home stays and have had a wonderful experience. In order to acknowledge the same, she decided that for every referral that would walk in as a guest, I would be rewarded monetarily. My work would be very simple and informal. Much of it I was already doing, being the storyteller for Cinnamon and Granny’s Inn. Only, I needed to do it in a structured way, over social media, over my network - personal and professional, connect with travel bloggers and carry out small curated events to spread the word. This seemed like such a fun idea to me. This was no hard sell, only pure sharing with like minded people. </span></div>

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: "verdana"; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">It has now been over a year since I formally became an FOC! I have had the most interesting interactions with other FOCs, have met people who I would never had in the normal course and built “friendships” with some who share the same interests as me. FOC has recently extended its scope as the business also extends. The Unhotel group as they are called is now seeking new properties to bring under their umbrella from Corbett to Goa, Ladakh to Coorg. Give them the same soul that they have. In case we come across any property fit to be an Unhotel (Cinnamon and Grannys), we can just drop in the reference to Shilpi and she will work her charm. </span></div>

Cinnamon as we went around getting ready for a very heart to heart “Gupshup
with Granny”. Granny Asha was amongst us from Varanasi and as all grannies
come, she came with lots of hugs, smiles, gifts and goodies.</span></div>

especially some of her guests who had stayed with her at Granny’s Inn. Needless
to say, Radhika, Kavita and Gagan were one of the first to walk in!</span></div>

starting trickling in. Granny Asha, dressed in her quintessential homely saree
welcomed all in her true spirits. As 20 odd people came in and started
chatting, we realized that friends were with their mothers and mothers-in-law.</span></div>

life before Granny’s Inn was a purposeless life. Like any woman, she was a
dutiful person. Hardships were fought but at some point in time, she found
herself pushed into depression. It was then that she decided that no matter
what her age is, she had to overcome depression and lead a more meaningful
life. </span></div>

true to a typical Indian home.</span></div>

there! Thank you so much for your kind words. Your words are encouraging and a
huge support to both my mother and I. I was in the midst of telling you, why I

you should do so if you are looking for long term medical care.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Guest Blogger Manisha Pradhan writes to us from Gangtok. She shares her
experience with home stays in her post. Introducing today is Part 1 of
her blog - "Medical Care At A Home Away From Home". Do read on!</span><br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , "sans-serif";">Sipping
my cup of tea and leafing through the morning newspaper, today was the day I
had to make a few decisions. Living in Gangtok was like living in utopia- amidst
nature and friendly people. Whilst everything was going smoothly, my mother had
not been keeping too well lately. A train of visits to the doctors and I knew I
had to move her to a bigger and better city for her to be under proper care. I
finally made up my mind to move her to Delhi. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , "sans-serif";">Little
did I know, that this event in my life would make me realize how much I needed
a ‘home”. Having booked ourselves in a decent hotel close to the hospital for
over two weeks, I increasingly found myself being stressed over things. I could
never point out why I felt the way I did until one day I realized that the
problem lay not in the hospital but where we were staying. I shared my concerns
with my friends and it was then that one of them recommended a home stay. I was
not very convinced that someone would let us stay at their place especially
with my ailing patient. On the other hand, we were spending a lot on post
operative care and it was not advisable to undertake the long journey back
home. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , "sans-serif";">I
started looking at the range of homestays and talking with some of them. I was
convinced that if I had to survive the turmoil of long term medical care in a
new city, I just had to move my mother to a place that is “home”.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , "sans-serif";">Our
stay lasted for two long months and needless to say I never regretted my
decision. I want to share a few points on why I chose a homestay over the hotel
closer to the hospital. To anyone looking for a homey place for a patient to
recover, this is what I discovered:</span></div>

<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , "sans-serif";">Medical treatment is not easy and
the first thing that affects you is the cost. As much as I tried to budget, I
would always find myself being a little short of money. A decent hotel was the
primary reason that was eating into my pocket. A homestay on the other hand is
more economical and viable. I saw a large chunk of savings having moved to a homestay.</span></div>

<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , "sans-serif";">A hotel can give you comfort and
luxury but these two were the last things on my mind when it came to bringing
my mother back home after her surgery. She needed a place that could support
her new diet plan. A place where she could move about at her own pace and still
have the privacy. Most importantly, she did not want to be seen as an ailing
person in a place full of strangers. The homestay covered for all of the above
and more.</span></div>

<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="tab-stops: 58.3pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , "sans-serif";">Cleanliness was of utmost importance
to us. Luckily my mother did not suffer too many side effects but when she did
we needed to clean up the mess as soon as she felt unwell. This was something
that came to us promptly at the homestay as compared to the hotel where
housekeeping had to be called in time and again. The hosts and the caretaker
were genuinely caring towards both of us.</span></div>

can go on for a few more pages, but I need to retire and get back to my mother
who is asking for me. I promise to share some more in my next post, which
should be sooner than you think. In the meanwhile, I wanted to share that India
is one of the top 5 destinations for Medical Tourism in the World! You could have a look at
the following few websites to know more!</span></div>

E&Y, who travels the world over on business and was currently visiting
Gurgaon from Bangalore. I told him he just had to visit us at <span style="color: #cc0000;"><span style="font-family: "century schoolbook" , "serif";">"</span>Cinnamon".</span>
Though he was on a tight business schedule, the offer of a complete home made
meal closed the deal. </span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Our
“catching up” went on till the wee hours of the morning and we asked him to
retire in the spare room. We told him that he could stay with us as long as he
wanted, which he denied since he was already booked in a hotel for the whole
period that he would spend in <span style="color: #cc0000;">Gurgaon. </span>Later that evening I received a call
from him asking if he could make our place his permanent “business” stay. I was
more than happy to have a buddy around. My curiosity piqued and I asked him
what made him change his mind. Why a home stay when he could be put up in the
best of the hotels? To this, he rattled off a few points that I thought I could
share with you!</span></span></div>

tiresome so much so that he doesn’t feel fresh the next day. He shared that the
other evening, he was able to relax and partly shut out his mind from work that
has no end. Even though he hardly slept for a few hours, he was fresh the next
day. He felt that the <span style="background-color: orange;">shutting himself out from work environment can happen

never could sense what it was like to be a Dilliwala. Having spent time with
us, he interacted with our caretakers and other staff and he had a jolly time
trying to understand them and they him. Hilarious anecdote this, but we can
keep that for a different time. </span></span></span></span></div>

city you go to. Post work, there are times when one can look around and explore
the city. Whilst a hotel gives you all the “must do” things, many a times, one
misses out on the “experience” of the city. Thus a real time recommendation is
a must. Which, in fact, is given mostly by the people who live there! <span style="background-color: orange;">Home

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Airbnb.com is a huge success story in online travel. Yet many of us in India have either never heard of this sharing economy company or else never tried.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Since Shilpi and I (Manish) have been running <a href="http://www.cinnamonstays.in/" target="_blank">Cinnamon Stay</a>s for the past 5 years and now <a href="http://www.grannysinn.in/" target="_blank">Granny's Inn in Varanasi</a> we have had the opportunity to use <a href="http://www.airbnb.com/" target="_blank">airbnb</a> for getting guests at our place.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">We also used airbnb extensively when we travelled to Europe this summer. Most places we visited, we booked the room / apartment through airbnb. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">It was a great experience. So, here we share why you must try this fascinating concept which is redefining stays & travel around the globe.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">1. <span style="background-color: #f6b26b;"><b>From hassle to play</b>.</span> In the pre-airbnb days, finding a room was a hassle, a task; but with the millions of beautifully curated pads around the world, searching a room/ apartment/ villa on airbnb is a playful, joyous activity. We found an artistic studio in Interlaken, Switzerland in June this year. These 2 nights spent there were infinitely better than a bland hotel room in our budget!</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhlcSJbfJ4697NToM7gmKa59ySo73EB-9dM40CH6C4gg04KPo6LLN_5zdfE4AxQcxjSBj1Zpk8_smQMzBr-_aHBP5xRpJgKsqlP_UPte-JAFW7eGd2N8pG44e_fD547PdVK4_fc6EJDb63H/s1600/Interlaken,+switzerland.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhlcSJbfJ4697NToM7gmKa59ySo73EB-9dM40CH6C4gg04KPo6LLN_5zdfE4AxQcxjSBj1Zpk8_smQMzBr-_aHBP5xRpJgKsqlP_UPte-JAFW7eGd2N8pG44e_fD547PdVK4_fc6EJDb63H/s1600/Interlaken,+switzerland.jpg" height="213" width="320" /></a></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">2. <b style="background-color: #f6b26b;">The wisdom & warmth of local hosts.</b> To really know a place when time is at a premium you got to lean on the local hosts. And most are better than the majority of hotel employees. In our own trip, the airbnb hosts volunteered to pick us up from airports and tube stations. They took us out for authentic Italian meals; gave access to private beaches. Cooked for us. Helped plan a day shopping trip in Zurich. Even found us a Saravana Bhawan in Paris :-)</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">You can get tons of local tips - from bus and metro timings, to which restaurants to eat, the coolest pubs, where to shop for veggies and where to shop for moments and gifts! You get all this information and more over a beer or if you are lucky even a home cooked meal. </span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> 3. <b style="background-color: #f6b26b;">Having the flexibility to cook.</b> With our non experimentative, almost vegetarian food habits, having access to a kitchen where we could make simple daal, rice every alternate day was a big boon:-) Sometimes after a tiring day, just the comfort of making maggi in your own apartment far outweighed meals in a fancy restaurant. Almost all the apartments had very clean kitchens with cooking utensils and cutlery. This made our trip very comfortable and enjoyable. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">4. <b style="background-color: #f6b26b;">Safe & convenient.</b> As a first timer, we would recommend that you only book the place which has a few reviews. Airbnb reviews are invariably genuine and give you a fair idea of the place and the host.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Google maps gives you an accurate idea of how to reach the B&B. In fact in many listings, past guests mention bus and tube routes, landmarks and other tips which makes life a lot easier for travelers. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Unlike in the past when company executives either stayed at a fancy but expensive hotel or a basic guest house with inconsistent service, today there is another option of a homestay / bed & breakfast.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">And Tripadvisor makes it easy to find these special places hidden in a city's landscape. With ratings and detailed guest reviews you can be assured of a safe and comfortable stay at this non hotel option!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">So why should a busy corporate traveller stay at a homestay. Here are 7 good reasons. </span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">1.<span style="background-color: white;"> </span></span><span style="font-family: Orienta, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white;">Do you remember the last hotel room that you stayed in 5 years ago on a business trip? Most probably you don't. But people who stay at a homestay/ bed & breakfast invariably remember, because their </span><span style="background-color: #ffd966;">experience is so unique and special.</span><span style="background-color: white;"> You may be a busy executive, but you still remember the delicious home cooked food, the quirky room with some beautiful painting; the chat over breakfast on local city tips and much more.</span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: Orienta, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: Orienta, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white;">2. </span><span style="background-color: #ffd966;">The Warm Human Touch. </span><span style="background-color: white;"> Unlike a B&B, a</span></span><span style="font-family: Orienta, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white;"> hotel doesn't have hosts who blend the skills of a cook, waiter, tour guide, housekeeper, conversationalist and much more to make every guest's experience a delight.</span></span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhJTTsqwwIQ7eccMRvwokBdjwcsS6UCtM-acMPh3kOU69AR9TUvpR6gqmcee3ZwaxMUfwZ1bpa8jglDWNVFjeWNgTXWWoAHRFxtEQqLebvkGaeSnL-ebNUPr5LC52ddYfcvG0Nfwe2y6eBG/s1600/polaroid1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhJTTsqwwIQ7eccMRvwokBdjwcsS6UCtM-acMPh3kOU69AR9TUvpR6gqmcee3ZwaxMUfwZ1bpa8jglDWNVFjeWNgTXWWoAHRFxtEQqLebvkGaeSnL-ebNUPr5LC52ddYfcvG0Nfwe2y6eBG/s1600/polaroid1.jpg" height="320" width="269" /></a></div>
<span style="font-family: Orienta, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: Orienta, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white;">3. For the </span><span style="background-color: #ffd966;">budget conscious corporate traveller,</span> the SME owner, the entrepreneur with a tight wallet, often the homestay works far economical than a hotel. The food costs are less and you avoid luxury tax.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Orienta, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Orienta, sans-serif;">4. Many a time the corporate traveller travels with his/ her spouse or family. In these cases, the <span style="background-color: #ffd966;">home like environment of a B&B </span>is much better than the confined space of a hotel room. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Orienta, sans-serif;">Of course you need to check the reviews on Tripadvisor before you make the booking.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Orienta, sans-serif;">In the connected economy, the good places are easy to book and the bad places can't hide themselves!</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjO5kU3GXavKn9PUwAZwBD6isDp6vBS7UZ1BiUOQ99pRSHNueFSBqkPPGFfKAeFazR4vv3G8u8MHIpHNmazVF02tT6QsmEKBCegHaqr4MOVkl8h-90AL0NYptz-fIZT0aYqn_qsDe3vkW10/s1600/breakfast+at+cinnamon+Oct+2013.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjO5kU3GXavKn9PUwAZwBD6isDp6vBS7UZ1BiUOQ99pRSHNueFSBqkPPGFfKAeFazR4vv3G8u8MHIpHNmazVF02tT6QsmEKBCegHaqr4MOVkl8h-90AL0NYptz-fIZT0aYqn_qsDe3vkW10/s1600/breakfast+at+cinnamon+Oct+2013.JPG" height="240" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
<span style="font-family: Orienta, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Orienta, sans-serif;">5. If the stay is for more than a few days, hosts at a B&B can give <span style="background-color: #ffd966;">valuable tips </span>on shopping, eating out, the coolest cafes and pubs. These local tips are invaluable when you are in a new city for a few days. It saves you valuable time and you gain from their expertise!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Orienta, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Orienta, sans-serif;">6. Hotel food, no matter how fancy can get on your nerves and palate after a while. Especially for the widely travelled corporate traveller, hotel food is no longer a big draw! But a well prepared, <span style="background-color: #ffd966;">delicious home cooked meal</span> at a homestay is a big hit with travelers. Often the odd pickle, a special recipe, a local sweet or ice-cream is a gentle balm for the wearied corporate traveller.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Orienta, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Orienta, sans-serif;">7. A homestay is also a place where you chance upon other interesting travelers. At Cinnamon Stays - we have hosted amazingly interesting people from almost 60 countries - artists, entrepreneurs, corporate honchos, VCs, musicians, social media gurus, NGO heads and even students in their gap year! </span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi-H9nW_z4nOQYupPbdwP6D4vL26j0mptD_ZlC6_1wW2KDXt0y1lIxg1AbecN7H692dKfKpTgA6MrFj6Rze9C5y1Cyrjd2_H_LeTqAZbo6tMAMEUPynJdPykkkInVzfwu78Q4l_Kk7kQ26A/s1600/guests+from+Uruguay.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi-H9nW_z4nOQYupPbdwP6D4vL26j0mptD_ZlC6_1wW2KDXt0y1lIxg1AbecN7H692dKfKpTgA6MrFj6Rze9C5y1Cyrjd2_H_LeTqAZbo6tMAMEUPynJdPykkkInVzfwu78Q4l_Kk7kQ26A/s1600/guests+from+Uruguay.jpeg" height="240" width="320" /></a></div>
<span style="font-family: Orienta, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Orienta, sans-serif;">The homestay with it's unassuming and open space allows corporates to mix and unwind with this diverse lot. The <span style="background-color: #ffd966;">free flow of ideas and conversations</span> is enriching for all. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Orienta, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Orienta, sans-serif;">The world is opening up. Businesses like airbnb.com have made B&B accessible and available to all. Tripadvisor and guest reviews have made finding great non hotel places far easier. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Orienta, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Orienta, sans-serif;">So, in case you have never tried a homestay / bed & breakfast you may want to give them a try after reading this. Believe us; after 5 years of running Cinnamon, our lives have been transformed by this experience.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Varanasi, Banaras or Kashi is amongst the oldest living cities of the world - a holy city for the Hindus and a spiritual, music, sanskrit learning and yoga learning destination!</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhAHcDO2IghNcXXkKUxoTiWAOpoG1bJFHseqztchvLyBUdwHAqBnJ9wh4w4z96NB5Z6Tfgwvwf7yMNOjBbLSvpHd3ZjdQJS3ubx0MPsg4pHKOqBtygrgKkDjQaJlL5x5FCbUWCV2efHD9FZ/s1600/Final+Granny+Spirit.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhAHcDO2IghNcXXkKUxoTiWAOpoG1bJFHseqztchvLyBUdwHAqBnJ9wh4w4z96NB5Z6Tfgwvwf7yMNOjBbLSvpHd3ZjdQJS3ubx0MPsg4pHKOqBtygrgKkDjQaJlL5x5FCbUWCV2efHD9FZ/s1600/Final+Granny+Spirit.jpg" height="320" width="226" /></a></div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">To experience the sights, sounds and the flavour of Banaras, one must ideally stay in a homestay. A standardized hotel - even a star one does not add much to the experience of Varanasi. Granny's Inn is one such comfortable homestay run by two feisty grannies in their 60's - Asha & Aruna. They started this homestay in December 2013 and in about 9 months, they are already <span style="background-color: #ffe599;"><a href="http://www.tripadvisor.in/Hotel_Review-g297685-d6920416-Reviews-Granny_s_Inn-Varanasi_Uttar_Pradesh.html" target="_blank">No.10 on Tripadvisor</a> amongst 140 odd B&B's & Guesthouses in Varanasi!</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: #ffe599;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Here are 10 reasons why you must stay at the <a href="http://www,grannysinn.in" target="_blank">Granny's Inn </a></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">1. If you are bored with the standardized and bland rooms of a hotel, the Granny's Inn offers double rooms with AC/ non AC options with character. </span><span style="background-color: #ffe599; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Set in a house with old architecture and a courtyard, it will charm you with it's decor and quirkiness.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">2. You get to sample </span><span style="background-color: #ffe599;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">authentic Indian vegetarian food.</span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> </span></span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Prepared by the grannies and their man-friday - Kashi. Even though the street food in Varanasi is amazingly diverse and tasty; many of our guests still prefer the Granny's Inn meals.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">3. The Grannies are obsessed about cleanliness. You will find the rooms very neat and clean. Besides all the rooms have en suite modern bathroom. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">4. You are <span style="background-color: #ffe599;">less than 10 min walk from the main Kashi Vishwanath temple. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">This is a boon in the city of Banaras as you avoid the traffic and save time.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">It's easy to do the early morning Mangla aarti at the temple!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">5. <span style="background-color: #ffe599;">The ghats are also a mere 10 min brisk walk from the Granny's Inn.</span> It's very convenient to attend the evening aarti or the morning boat ride(must do's on the tourist/ pilgrim check-list)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">6. The Grannies will also guide you in case you have a taste and the stomach for Banaras street food. It's tasty, unique and a riot of flavors. <span style="background-color: #ffe599;">Dina Chat Bhandaar is the closest and quite good</span>(although you may want to order and eat at the homestay). They will also tell you where to have pan, lassi and baati chokha. </span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi6Zvk2CRF1Mf9Y1rIb1s4PKViE0jnljrxwDrycpmudSG0LCMHiTdYpVcrOC66ogiV4HDZRHK0a31Y8tkSLE2i8AesCWzRYU8jtcGiVdwUmCTx2tHAQ1UyDhks-NMfE8Tt1kTXbm4I3JXDr/s1600/food+tral.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi6Zvk2CRF1Mf9Y1rIb1s4PKViE0jnljrxwDrycpmudSG0LCMHiTdYpVcrOC66ogiV4HDZRHK0a31Y8tkSLE2i8AesCWzRYU8jtcGiVdwUmCTx2tHAQ1UyDhks-NMfE8Tt1kTXbm4I3JXDr/s1600/food+tral.jpg" height="320" width="226" /></a></span></div>
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">7. Banaras is known for it's intricate Banarasi silk sarees. The grannies will help you with tips on (a) where to buy, (b) the best shops to visit. You may persuade them to accompany you on a shopping spree. They love shopping!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">8. <span style="background-color: #ffe599;">The grannies make some amazing pickles</span> - mango, chilly, lemon etc. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Depending upon the season and what's available you can sample their finger-licking pickles. Difficult to find in any hotel or a standard guest house. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">9. Safety is a big concern for independent women travelers and senior citizens. This homestay is amongst the safest in the city. It's family run with trustworthy staff. One of the two grannies is always there to help and support. <span style="background-color: #ffe599;">Women travelers feel very safe at our homestay. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">10. <span style="background-color: #ffe599;">The Granny's Inn has loads of local Varanasi flavour.</span> The furniture is made by the local Khadi Gram Udyog (cottage industry). Many of the artifacts, wooden mirrors and clothes hangars in the bathroom and are made by the local toy maker - Sharmaji. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Whether you are a foreign tourist wanting to savor Varanasi in an authentic way, an Indian tourist with or without family, an elderly pilgrim, the granny's inn is a good option for experience Varanasi - very safe, cosy & delightfully homely. <span style="background-color: #ffe599;">Drop us a mail at namastey@grannysinn.in for booking or queries!</span></span></div>

The Banarasi paan is inseparable from 'Banarasipan', which is the ethos that is associated with Banaras, a joie de vivre that the locals called mauj and </span><span style="font-weight: normal; line-height: 16px; white-space: pre-wrap;">masti </span><span style="font-weight: normal; line-height: 1; white-space: pre-wrap;">or abandon and revelry. </span></span></span></h3>

Mishika often longs for some personal attention, home cooked food and the warmth of a family, during her thang frequent trips.</div>
</div>
<div class="nH">
<br />
But hotels run a business and the model they follow is geared towards keeping it purely business be it with their guests or even their staff.</div>
<div class="nH">
<br /></div>
<div class="nH">
The very reason why B&B’s anywhere in the world is to create a non hotel space. A home away from home is what they offer to guests and are a big hit with travelers these days!</div>

<br />
<br /></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
<br /></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
1. <b>Personal touch:</b> More than a business setup, it’s a home for both the guests and the staff. Most owners are usually at the properties and for them it is not just a business; it's a way of life for them. So they go out of their way to make sure guests feel at home. Because of their presence guests receive high quality service</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
and personal attention by the staff. All this creates a very warm, cosy Unhotel environment !</div>
</div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
2. <b>Affordable:</b> It is an affordable option compared to expensive hotels. We all love to save up a few pennies during our trips but without compromising on comfort. B&B's let you have a budget friendly stay with a homely touch.</div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
3. <b>Food: </b> An unhappy tummy may turn your holiday into a disaster. Hygienic and healthy home cooked food is your answer to avoid such situations.Homestays understand the needs of a traveler and the families. </div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Simple home cooked food is what frequent travellers are looking for these days!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
4. <b>The warmth of a home: </b>The comforts of staying at a home are unexplainable. Stay with a family, sharing stories with like minded travellers , hear their stories, make friends and be at home during your travel.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
5. <b>Accessibility: </b>Be it in a remote place or a city, homestays always have their doors open for their visitors.Hotels often struggle to set-up in a remote location, whereas homestays have their way around. The hosts with their local tips make a new city more accessible.</div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
6. <b>Insights to local culture: </b>When in Rome, behave like a Roman is the saying. Staying at a homestay will help you know and learn about the local culture. See the place through the eyes of a local.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
7. <b>Good for large families and groups: </b>When you are travelling in a large group and want many rooms,homestays many a time give you the option of renting the entire house . Most homestays have about 5-6 rooms and often let you rent out the whole place for yourself. Hence, making your holiday an exclusive one and very affordable.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
8. <b>Safety:</b> Can’t get safer than a home. The owners often go out of their way to keep their home and visitors safe by avoiding last minute check-ins etc..Especially important for single women travellers.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
9. <b>Peaceful: </b>A good nights sleep is assured when you are staying in a nice homestay. The quiet, peace, warmth and coziness of a home is one of the pluses of staying in a homestay compared to a small, windowless hotel room.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
10. <b>Unique experience: </b>Hotel stays are often very boring and mundane. Whereas each day is a new experience at a home and this makes your stay and trip a unique one.</div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">While much of the time was spent in running around trying to get 'Granny's Inn' started we did have our fair share of fun.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Gorged on 'Dina Chaat Bhandar' near PDR mall (Gowdolia Chowk). It's a must visit place. Recommended are - palak pakoda chaat, tamater chaat, dahi gol gappa... actually try everything. It's spicy and great taste that's difficult. to get outside of Banaras.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Bablu's meetha paan while we were hunting for utensils was a good find. Not so great on taste but definitely on presentation. Anyone with authentic paan recos, please ping!</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">We also found time to visit a couple of Banarsi Sari small factories. It was joyful and magical to see the saree and the different patterns get made on the power loom. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Sadly, the ghats were dirty and we have decided to do something about it. Getting in touch with waste warriors is high on the agenda. </span></div>

<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">On the business front, in case you plan to visit Banaras, anytime after Dec 25, Granny's Inn is a good choice (even if we say so :-) Located in the lane opposite PDR Mall near Gowdolia chowk - it's just 10 min brisk walk to the Vishwanath temple and Dashaswamedha Ghat. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Assi Ghat, BHU all are relatively close by.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Granny's Inn would be right at the epicentre of this boisterous yet holy city. If you are looking to dive deep into Banaras, come stay with us. Banaras cannot and should not be savoured from the quiet and distant rooms of a 5 star hotel. You have to stay where the Gods are; where the street food delights get hawked. Amidst the madness of the great Indian bazaar and the numerous babas. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">For enquiries and bookings mail us at cinnamonstays(at)gmail(dot)com We don't have room pictures to share at the moment. But we are working hard to make them look good. We won't let you down. </span></div>
