Furnished 1 bedroom apartment
I had a wonderful stay at Jessie’s Airbnb. From the start, she was an excellent host—clear in communication and proactive in sharing all the details I needed. She personally welcomed me, showed me around, and assured me that she and her husband, who live upstairs, were always available if needed. The house was spotless, exactly as shown in the photos, and had all the essentials—towels, toiletries, a well-equipped kitchen, and a very comfortable bed. Everything was in perfect working condition. I had booked this place due to its proximity to the Prometric Center, and it was an ideal location. Jessie’s hospitality made a huge difference—her warm presence made the space feel even more inviting, allowing me to settle in with ease. This was one of the best Airbnb experiences I’ve had, and I highly recommend it to anyone visiting Chennai, will definitely be visiting again!

Rare 2 BR near Apollo Greams Rd - 12 mins walk
Ahmed and his sister were incredibly kind and accommodating throughout our stay. They personally greeted us during check-in and were always just a call away to answer any questions or address any concerns. We were traveling with our infant, and they went above and beyond to ensure the place was thoroughly sanitized and spotless upon our arrival. They even provided fresh bedsheets and linens during our stay, which was such a thoughtful gesture. Despite the limited water supply timings, they were kind enough to assist us with washing our clothes in the afternoon when we couldn’t use the machine during the usual slots. The apartment was exactly as shown in the pictures, and its location was very convenient, with supermarkets and restaurants just a short walk away. In every way, they embodied the values of a true super-host. 🙏🏻 We’re truly grateful for their hospitality and can’t wait to visit again soon!
