I have stayed at Amit's appartment on several occasions as I visit Bangalore a great deal on business . It was again an ideal choice for me in terms of location , the amenities both in the flat and in the surrounding area. It is entirely fit for purpose and very good value.Kevin2016-10-14T00:00:00Z
The apartment was nice and spacious, clean and comfortable! Amit was really helpful in responding to any queries and Rajan was onsite to help too.James2016-10-02T00:00:00Z
Very pleasant stay in a comfortable studio apartment. Situated in the quieter Jayamahal neighborhood which is 15 mins from MG Road & a 10 min walk to Bangalore Cantonment. Maid service every two days is included and check in was efficient. Recommended.Bryn2015-12-16T00:00:00Z
This flat is really nice & well located in a quiet area. Trees & green parks are all around. Easy to find. The rooftop has a large terrasse in front & a lovely kitchen/terrasse in the back. Clean, large & as per the photos on the site. We will definitely come back there & promote it around us for people who want to spend few days to couple of weeks in Bangalore.Frederic2016-03-26T00:00:00Z
What a great listing and location! It was a truly beautiful way to spend a few days in Bangalore and a nice introduction to a vacation. Amit is generally not around (when we were there he was in the U.S.), but his property manager Rajan made our stay easy and comfortable. It was even a lovely neighborhood to walk around, where we found a very pretty and relaxing park. The listing feels very private and has great views.Caleb2015-12-19T00:00:00Z
Stayed overnight. Communication was speedy, friendly and helpful. Check in-out was smooth. Spacious place. Lift to studio. Comfortable bed. Works for me. I'll be backPankaj2017-03-02T00:00:00Z
We loved Amit's place and really enjoyed ourselves. The location is practical, the view around is nice....the reality is much better than the pictures :-) Very nice and spacious studio and we were offered a brilliant help by Amit's assistant Rajan and also fab cooking by Esther whom we hired to cook lunch....AMAZING food!!! Thank you Amit for all! If we come back to Bangalore, we would definitely love to stay again!!Yana & Salem2014-06-10T00:00:00Z
The pictures just give a hint of the amazing apartment it is ..... just loved everything about it - the location, the facilities and the friendly caretaker Rajan. Very well maintained and equipped. My hectic trip did not allow me much time in the apartment but the early morning cup of tea on the kitchen terrace with the 180 degree view of green around made the start of everyday perfect ! The apartment is well located, off a main road yet insular enough to be a quiet stay. It has varied shops and restaurants opposite to it for quick meals and basic services. Loved my stay there and hope to come back again soonSanjay2014-09-24T00:00:00Z

Vinnie and Navin are great hosts, chatty and warm and always helpful. They both are very outgoing and know what goes on in the city so I got a lot of pointers to where to visit , shop and dine. Their ski lodge like flat is right in the middle of the old charm bangalore where boutique bars, restaurants and the parks are. Many many thanks again Vinnie n Navin!Stephanie2014-10-20T00:00:00Z
I stayed with Vinnie and Navin in Bangalore for a few days at the end of 2013. It was a wonderful and authentic airbnb experience - much more than a place to stay but where we make new friends! Vinnie and Navin went out of their way to make sure I was comfortable both in their house and in their city. I had a great time in Bangalore, all thanks to their kindness, friendliness and warm hospitality. Their place is perfectly situated. The room is lovely and the breakfast delicious. THE BEST place in stay in Bangalore!Sari2013-12-17T00:00:00Z
Vineeta and Navin were incredible hosts! We arrived at nearly 1am, much later than expected due to some traffic from Mysore. They were both still up waiting for us and welcomed us into their home with cookies and hot tea. They gave us amazing homemade indian breakfasts every morning and showed us around Bangalore like the locals they are. If you are passing through Bangalore, you must stay with Vinney and Navin. They are such generous, hospitable and warm hosts!!Aubrey2014-08-19T00:00:00Z
Finally have some wifi to post this! Vinnie and Navin are amazing hosts and I would definitely recommend to friends, family ... whomever! They make a great tag team - both very welcoming and accommodating - especially with our early arrival and departure. Lovely home in an excellent location - minutes away from some great restaurants and city attractions. Stayed for 2 nights - breakfast was traditional Indian fare and superb. My friend was unwell which meant I was at a bit of a loose end one afternoon, Vinnie was very welcoming, chatty and understanding. Vinnie and Navin - thank you both for a great intro to Bangalore and please do get in touch to connect when you're in Myanmar or NZ! Best, Katie and Jo xKatie2016-01-30T00:00:00Z
Perfect! Vinnie and Navin are splendid airbnb-hosts. I enjoyed my stay with them a lot. Actually, I cannot think of anything they could have done better. Would give them six stars if that would be possible. They are easygoing and very interested people. Vinnie and Navin took the time to discuss my travel plans in details and came up with lots of great ideas for places to see in South India. They even helped me with organising some stuff (e.g. booking a driver). Vinnie and Navin were exceptionally flexible with regard to all my spontaneous requests (staying longer, bringing friends). The locations of their flat is perfect. It's a five to ten minutes walk to lots of shops and restaurants. Cubbon Park is just around the corner as well. And although the place is centrally located, it is very quiet. The room is big and very clean. There is a seperate bathroom. And Vinnie and Navin offered a yummy breakfast every morning – even when I left pretty early to see some place. I can definitely recommend staying with Vinnie and Navin.Maik2014-02-03T00:00:00Z
Vineeta and Navin were great hosts. The apartment is really nice, and is very clean and well-maintained. It's close to many places to eat and shop but is far enough away from it all to be pretty quiet. I would highly recommend staying here, and plan to be back!Timothy2016-04-01T00:00:00Z
Vinneta and Navin live in the heart of Bangalore, their flat is within walking distance from the beautiful Cubbon park, restaurants, shops, anything you would need to do in the city. They took good care of us, prepared a typical South Indian breakfast for us and helped us with useful recommendations for traveling in India. They allowed us to check out late, as our train was leaving late at night. We would definately stay at their place again, if we visit Bangalore again and would recommend them to our friends for sure! Thank you, Vinneta and Navin!Mircea2016-02-15T00:00:00Z
Navin and Vinnie are really warm and welcoming hosts. It was my first bnb stay and I was a little apprehensive of the whole concept but they made me feel quite comfortable right from the start. I had some very interesting conversations with them. My flight out was very early in the morning but Vinnie was nice enough to make breakfast for me before I left. The house is excellently located near mg road and beautifully designed, the room was nice and clean with all amenities. I would definitely stay here again when I go to Bangalore next.Gaurav2014-12-21T00:00:00Z

The apartment is bright, spacious, airy, well-decorated, spotless and has a wonderful view of the lake. It was just awesome to wake up to the sight of a sunrise over Madiwala Lake every morning. I also loved the tasteful and positive decor. But the highlight of my stay was getting to meet Saurav and Pooja, who are intrepid travellers and incredibly warm and hospitable people. I really felt enriched by my conversations with them on a whole variety of topics. Oh, and Saurav makes the best cup of tea in South India :)Ajay2017-02-04T00:00:00Z
The ArtHouse is a really great place with tons of places right around the corner. It's very well maintained with pretty decor. Thank you so much Saurav for being a great host and always being available on call or text whenever needed.Gangothri2017-02-19T00:00:00Z
We checked in pretty early and Saurav was very welcoming and sweet. The place was much more beautiful than in the pictures here, such a charm to it. My mother enjoyed the view from the penthouse while me and my sister loved lounging around and checking out the gorgeous pictures on display. there was never a dull moment, as Saurav kept us entertained with stories from his travels, in what little time we had. It was such a short trip and we couldn't talk too much, but it left us wanting more. Much love to both of you, hope we see each other again.Akhila2016-02-29T00:00:00Z
Saurav was very welcoming. Nice comfortable place to stay. Good view from the 7th floor balcony.Munira2016-01-29T00:00:00Z
We had the best experience you could ask for in Bangalore thanks to Suarav and Pooja. Suarav is very knowledgeable on Bangalore and has great suggestions on things to do and places to see. He's extremely hospitable and even prepared delicious Indian food. We very much enjoyed our conversations and feel lucky to have crossed paths. Thank you again Suarav and Pooja for such warm hospitality and look forward to the day we meet again!Cyndi2016-02-05T00:00:00Z

Hi, A warm welcome was received from Sanjay. A very good house and in fact it is amidst nature. We loved the stay and children also enjoyed the bunk bed concept. Lovely kitchen and special thanks to Manager Sudarshan for helping us get things for kitchen. Just a small suggestion from my side is, as we normally book for Bed and Breakfast, it would be good if breakfast is included in the stay (of course a beautiful kitchen is provided for us to cook self). Rest is the best, assured :)deepthi2016-06-06T00:00:00Z
It's an excellent place true to the photos shown here. Sanjay is superb as a host and made our stay very comfortable. I will definitely recommend this place to my family and friends and will like to come backJitender2016-06-15T00:00:00Z
We had an excellent stay at Sanjay's place. We had high expectations post reading the 5 star reviews and yet the place positively surprised us. We were set of 7 family members (8 including our 3 month old pup, Coookie) on a 1 night 2 day trip to Mysore and this place worked excellently for us. It was large, very well maintained, in the midst of the a green farm and very near all the sightseeing places like Zoo, Mysore Palace and sand art museum. We used the kitchen facilities which were very good as well. Sanjay is a warm and friendly host with lot of good advice and is sensitive to when and how much guests would like him to engage. Overall, loved it and would come here again whenever we are in the vicinity/ have to show Mysore to other family members.Sumit2016-05-16T00:00:00Z
If you need a place in order to avoid city issues (noise, pollution)! Go there!louis2015-07-12T00:00:00Z
Our experience: This was a really fun mini-break for our family and that included our senior citizen father. We had booked the whole villa and the experience truly was like a home away from home. To top it all, it rained the last evening of our stay and it was fun listening to the sounds amplified by the fields and trees. Property: Close to the city (Lalitha Mahal Palace hotel is virtually next door), near the base of Chamundi Hills and a quick drive to the Mall of Mysore, Palace and Zoo. And yet the setting could not be more serene, green and private. Rooms are nicely furnished, hangars in the closets and mosquito repellant machines were a nice touch. Full kitchen a few steps away from the villa came in handy for us. Did not use the loft/beds in 2 of the rooms but could see how kids might like them. Hosts: Sanjay was quick to respond and clarified my doubts prior to the booking increasing my level of comfort. He was there to welcome us and was always prompt whenever we needed something. Manager Sudarshan was helpful in getting us extra sheets and towels as needed.Nalin2015-10-29T00:00:00Z
I booked a room at Sanjay's villa for a friend of mine who was visiting Mysore. The place is absolutely beautiful. The room was very big , clean and artfully decorated. The room is surrounded by a small garden with swings and such. It is located away from all the hustle bustle of the city. Sanjay was a great host. He checked up on my friend and made sure he was comfortable and had the room cleaned every day. I would absolutely recommend this place to anyone visiting Mysore and my friend had a fantastic time at Sanjay's place.Samhitha2015-06-01T00:00:00Z
Reached this wonderful place quite early.. much earlier then the check in time! And Sanjay still welcomed us and made us feel comfortable. The Villa which has 3 airy bedrooms and a Living room which is spick and span and has a completely relaxed atmosphere with a fireplace and a few nice books to read. It was a wonderful stay and will surely go there again. And the food served by Uthappa, the neighbouring cook!! It was to die for.. Especially the Vangi Bhaat or the Brinjal rice and the home made chicken curry :)Rajesh2015-04-19T00:00:00Z
The Nandanvana Homestay was perfectly situated on the edge of Mysore, and was the perfect location for relaxation and rest. The surroundings were perfect; green coconut trees and a well-kept garden. The accommodation itself was nice; the room was very airy and comfortable, and the common room had a great atmosphere. Sanjay and others at Nandanvana made every effort to make sure we were comfortable and taken care of- Sanjay particularly went out of his way to help us get lunch from the town! Would recommend to anyone coming to Mysore area! Looking forward to staying againKatrina2015-01-13T00:00:00Z

We left home, drove 250 kms and found home. The Tanglewoods experience is a vacation in itself. From the moment you enter the driveway you know you've made the right choice. Tanglewoods is perched atop an expanse of nature, the likes of which we had never seen. How can a view be so uninterrupted? So pristine and humbling and undisturbed. We were reluctant to step inside the house lest the walls hamper the view. It was at this moment that Sanjay the caretaker introduced us to the first floor. We knew at that that moment that there would be no further sightseeing. All the sights you need are in front of you. You don't miss radio because the jungle is singing. You don't miss TV because nature has put on a show. You don't miss (SENSITIVE CONTENTS HIDDEN) because you're searching for answers within. Moving beyond the niceties of the view, Tanglewoods offers cosy bedrooms and really clean washrooms. There is a kitchen in case you are in a mood to cook. The town of Madikeri is a 10 minute drive from Tanglewoods in case you want to stock up on provisions or grab a quick bite. Quick because it's sinful to keep Tanglewoods waiting. It takes a person of extraordinary graciousness to open their home to others. Thank you Debbie for letting us experience the piece of heaven that you own.Roshan2016-06-09T00:00:00Z
Tanglewoods is the just the kind of place where you can unwind and untangle yourself from the world. Though, me and my parents only stayed here for one night but we loved our home stay and it's warmth. The listing perfectly matches the description. A shout out for the care taker Sanjay, who was so nice, helpful and made amazing breakfast. I would also like to mention about Debbie, the owner who not only gave us perfect directions and a write up about sight seeing but also called in person to check about everything when we checked in and after we checked out. I would highly recommend Tanglewoods over any resort in and around Madikeri.Vaibhav2016-04-20T00:00:00Z
If it wasn't for Debbie's Tanglewoods, Coorg would have been a lost cause. It was raining day in and day out when we arrived. Hence, most of our time was spent in the serenity of tanglewoods. And we definitely couldn't ask for anything better. Sanjay is a great guy and he helped us throughout the stay, guiding us for directions and getting us the best cabbies available. The food was delicious and the place was super clean. I am definitely going again. A big thumps up!Aprajita2016-08-18T00:00:00Z
The View is all you'll need ! The perfect bnb I must say: > Green lush for your eyes > Peace for your mind > Interiors to make you feel at home > 2 mins drive from the town The caretaker - Sanjay : Very polite, Courteous and Witty :) The host - Friendly, adjusting to requests and provides quick responses :) All in all, I would love to go back and stay at Tanglewoods !Lacshmi2016-05-02T00:00:00Z
a nice getaway in the mountains with a very helpful caretaker who is ready to help with anything. it is a remote location with few frills, so only come here if you are wanting some peace and quiet and to enjoy your own company and the surrounding view. House is clean and bathrooms are modern, with hot water.Nathan2016-08-10T00:00:00Z
Was a great place to stay right under the Raja's seat with more beautiful and serene atmosphere. The home was tastefully done with a room which just opens to the hills down. The service was awesome and credit to the team there. A real lovable experience for my family and will sure return back soonArun2016-05-18T00:00:00Z
Tanglewoods gave us all that we wanted. Close to the city and yet it offered stunning views of the hills. Sanjay the caretaker was an absolute delight. We spent many hours around the house and garden soaking in the scenery. Highly recommended to all those seeking a refreshing break.Gautam2016-03-06T00:00:00Z
We stayed at Tanglewoods for 3 nights and I must admit it has been one of the warmest and most comfortable stays in an Airbnb.. The location was perfect and the comfort and the surroundings were spectacular... We fell in love with the place from the minute we reached and the caretaker Sanjay's hospitality was amazing.. The breakfast prepared by him was simple yet delicious and he was extremely helpful.. All in all I would definitely recommend this place for all travellers to madikeri...Rahul2016-09-12T00:00:00Z

Simply awesome! Prefect to its description. My best stay till date on Airbnb! Right from the ease of locating the place, the private entry and the coffee maker placed in the room, everything u can imagine in a home stay is provided to you in that room. She even went an extra mile to arrange an early morning breakfast to suite my schedule. The lavish breakfast is just mouth watering. And the candles in the room helps u relax aft a long day of wrk.I must say, I fell in love with 'That little orange place' in Banglore!Krushit2016-10-03T00:00:00Z
Its a nice place to be and placed at an awesome location, loved the stay and would look forward come back again......John2016-12-29T00:00:00Z
My husband and I chose to stay in 'The Little Orange House' in celebration of our first anniversary. To be honest, the start was EXTREMELY disappointing. We followed the directions and still got lost. We tried calling Mansi several times but no response. There wasn't an alternate number to contact so we had to keep searching. We finally reached somehow and then it took upto half an hour to get us the key. Once we got it, we realised it wasn't even prepared for our arrival. Keep in mind, we reached at 1.30pm, check-in time was 1 pm and we wasted an hour just searching. The room wasn't cleaned on the first day at all (tissues in the cooler, hair in the washroom and dust everywhere). Wifi did not work. From day 2, things got a LOT better. I messaged Mansi- she seemed friendly and fixed the wifi, breakfast was good, the room was done up tastefully and finally the room was cleaned. We truly enjoyed our stay on the second night. We wish we would have met her during our 2 night stay. Location was great and the room was cosy. Overall, I really hope there was an alternate number to contact so we wouldn't waste time and that our room was cleaned and wifi fixed on the first night. It would have made all the difference.Neha2016-12-07T00:00:00Z
Mansi is a great host. The room is located in Central part of the city and provides a walkable distance to good food. The room was decorated in a very cozy manner and all basic needs were very well taken care of. The breakfast in the morning was delightful and good to keep your stomach at bay until a late lunch. Very much recommend this place if you are visiting for business in this area.Kshitij2017-01-21T00:00:00Z
Mansi has a lovely place in a very quiet locality. A big fan of the way the room is decorated and maintained. Will definitely come back, really loved the attention to detail, the way breakfast was sent, tea and coffee arrangement etc.Alisha2016-12-09T00:00:00Z
I really appreciate my staying at Mansi's place she was always available by whatsap. I do recommend this private apartment which enables you to have not only your privacy but also the support of this wonderful host.Arun2016-05-02T00:00:00Z
Beautiful room with a cute sit out. Very neat and nicely colour coordinated and tastefully done. A warm welcome with all the tips you need will be given by Mansi. She is a nice and cute girl. Place is centrally located. I guess the best you can have from Airbnb concept. Highly recommended. Thanks Mansi.shiv2016-07-15T00:00:00Z
Great little place in the city and in a convenient location too! Loved how they lived upto the name of "That little orange place!" Even the handwash was orange.. they have definitely put in a lot of time and effort in creating this space.

Villa #25 is a place I can call home away from home. Its extremely warm & welcoming and located in a serene neighbourhood. I've already visited twice and I intend to keep coming back. The club house in the vicinity is another added advantage to this property, only if you do manage to escape the cosy confines of your room ! Mr.Uttam the host leaves no stone unturned to ensure you have everything you need to make your stay both memorable and comfortable.Kshirsagar 2015-08-03T00:00:00Z
This was our first family trip to India since coming to the US back in '71 so where we stayed was very important to me. Uttam was wonderful to work with ever since our first conversation. He was an excellent host and the staff at Banyan Tree Villas were very accommodating to all of our needs throughout our stay. I could not have asked for a more quiet, peaceful, clean, secure, and mosquito free home for my elderly mother and brother to relax in. The clubhouse is beautiful with every amenity you can think of. It has free WIFI and I worked there without any interference. There was a 2 day science conference taking place during our stay and even during that time, the staff at the club house was very attentive to our needs. The location is ideal from airport and a short distance yet far enough from the hectic pace of the inner city. I would recommend this place to anyone looking to plan a meeting/conference, wedding, or just see the sights of Hyderabad. This community has it all!Jude2016-01-28T00:00:00Z

Pros: Located between coffee and banana plantation. Scenic location. Well maintained, neat, hygienic. Very good food at reasonable cost. Good hospitality by care taker sankar! Flexible in check in timings! There are no cons,,but few recommendations, 1. It's warm and hot during day time..installing AC will add value to the cottage.. 2. Can install fence in front of the cottages.Sudhakar2016-11-20T00:00:00Z

The apartment was very spacious and felt very comfortable. It was a very quiet area which is great when you're staying in a city.

The place is not too long a drive from Suntikoppa and fairly easy to find. I stayed here for two nights last week, and felt like I was visiting family! They're warm hosts who go out of their way to make you comfortable. Uncle made sure I ate well each time - had delicious food waiting for me. Renting the two-wheeler to guests is a great idea, and this was the reason I could explore places far from public transport. The estate is beautiful and I was lucky to see half a herd of elephants crossing from one estate to the other just a little way away from the house. There's no network, but I didn't care. The pets are a delight and completed my happy stay. I was homesick for Elephant Trail for a day after I left it :D Thanks to Uncle, Rachita, the cook (who made the best food I had during my week-long trip) and the assistant(?) - I'm sorry I didn't get their names.Nanditha2016-12-21T00:00:00Z
Had a great time with my family and pet. The place is beautiful, refreshing and away from the humdrum of life. Must recommended for all those who want to take a couple of days off and bask in the glory of nature. Amazing in house food cooked and great coffee!Shaon 2017-01-29T00:00:00Z
We stayed here for one day and we only wished we could stay here for longer. The place is clean and tidy. It was a true nature calling experience... We had a good time relaxing and eating authentic coorg style cuisine. The hosts were extremely welcoming and cooperative. They took us around the estate and explained everything....they also got us hand plucked fresh fruits from their plantation. It was the first time we ate such fresh fruits. They even let us take their dogs for a walk. A special mention to the cooks who made really yummy food and fresh juices for us. Would definitely recommend this place without second thoughts.Krithika2016-09-22T00:00:00Z
Rachita, her father and Hakim made our stay really memorable. The place itself is stunning and the 3 rooms are very clean and comfortable. We were on a family trip of 9 people and each of us enjoyed to the fullest! From the food to the location to the dogs and cats everything was just perfect. The bonfire is a lovely add on if you are a big group. I would definitely go back and 1 days just seemed too less. You can go for a walk around the coffee plantations or take the road outside. Each has its own charm.Minni2017-02-05T00:00:00Z
Excellent stay. Place is awesome. Rachita, Sannu and Hakim Bhai are very friendly. We will sure plan next time when I visit coorgmahesh2016-12-28T00:00:00Z
My husband and I made our first trip to Coorg. We had a great time at Rachita's place. The room was clean and comfortable. The hosts were extremely friendly and hospitable. They were so kind and wonderful, it didn't feel like we were meeting them for the first time. The location was beautiful. The food was great. We were also given a tour of the plantation which we really enjoyed. The dogs and the cats made our trip even more memorable. Would love to come back here on our next trip!Shruti2017-02-27T00:00:00Z
It never felt like we were staying at a home stay in where we were meeting the hosts for the first time, it felt like we were at a close friend/relatives place.. such was the hospitality of Rachitas dad. The place is beautiful, the top most floor overlooks the entire estate and they have glass windows so you can watch the clouds passing by just lying there. The food was out of the world! Would recommend everyone to stay in this place and if they are full you should visit just for the food. Not sure if they have an open restaurant, worth having/asking.Jayanth2016-12-17T00:00:00Z
Worth checking out. Great hosts, really scenic location.Anirban2017-03-25T00:00:00Z

Nothing to say about this airbnb : the house is very nice, the place is very nice and KC and grace are very very nice people. Very helpfull for anything you can ask. You can rely on them. I am extending my stay with them.Vincent2015-04-06T00:00:00Z
One of the reasons I picked KC and Grace's place was because I was traveling with my 11 year old son and was looking for a safe and comfortable place to stay in. KC and Grace's home was all that and more. The room and neighbourhood was exactly how I had pictured it based on the description on the airbnb site. I was keen on having atleast 2 home-cooked meals a day, while in B'lore. The food at KC and Grace's was healthy and well rounded. Even my son enjoyed the food there and preferred to eat at KC and Grace's rather than go out. They have very efficient and well-trained staff and the room was kept clean and the laundry done on time like clock-work. Their lovely garden and all the artwork collected over the years make it a calm oasis and helped me relax and unwind at the end of the day. Their dog DJ was a treat and my son enjoyed petting and playing with him everyday. KC and Grace were helpful in sharing information about B'lore and recommended good places to shop and eat in. My son and I, both enjoyed staying at their place and will definitely go back and stay with them in the near future...Divya2015-05-16T00:00:00Z
"That house was, as Bilbo had long ago reported, 'a perfect house, whether you like food or sleep, or story-telling or singing, or just sitting and thinking best, or a pleasant mixture of them all. Merely to be there was a cure for weariness, fear and sadness." Magnificent. Any less grandiose a description would ill-befit the graciousness and hospitality that I received at KC & Grace's breathtakingly beautiful villa. They have raised the bar so stratospherically high that I doubt it will ever be matched in my book. They make a charming couple, and quintessentially good company. From the moment I turned up at their doorstep, my girlfriend and I were made to feel as if the home was completely ours. The house is beautifully and very tastefully furnished, from Art Deco rugs to African Heads. We were given a brief tour of the house, KC's many many decorations, and a little glimpse into the wealth of art that the couple have collected over time, before we retreated to our room for the night. The room - the one with the pink bed sheet in the pictures - is fit for a king. Ample space, adequate amenities, and private entrance to a wonderfully airy back-door portico. The next morning, KC & Grace took us on a tour of their garden, where we were accompanied by Duke Jr - the laziest Dalmatian this side of the Tropic of Cancer. A misty Sunday morning well spent among blooming hibiscuses and tapering bamboos, the DJ providing entertainment on the side. We spent most of the day discussing art with KC, who happens to be a trove of information once he opens up. From lithographs to engineering and political science, the man is delightful company. A note about the food - and it would be criminally unfair to mention it - it is the best damn chow I have eaten in all my life. My girlfriend and I will swear by it. Ayesha, the in-house cook, will cook anything you want, and over two nights, we turned into veritable gluttons. Grace's beef curry is to die for (seriously). My girlfriend was recovering from jaundice and she made extra care to provide for her - something which we deeply appreciated. The food is made all the more delectable by table-talk with the couple, as they regaled us with tale after tale from days gone by. After two days of swapping stories, and exchanging laughs, we felt very much at home. In fact, the worst part about the trip was leaving! By the time we left, we were in love with KC & Grace, and their hospitality, already planning the day we would return. They are supremely wonderful people (and not merely hosts) and I would relish a chance to stay with them again. At no point were we ever made to feel uncomfortable. Definitely coming back. To KC & Grace - we miss you already! Love AAnandu2014-07-22T00:00:00Z
It was a pleasure experience staying in KC& Grace's Garden house, they are very friendly & helpful, the network is very fast there, and KC is easy to get along with, talkative,t feels just like home, also, "DJ" is nice and friendly as well. The little girl Mallika is really a nice girl , always smiling, that helps a lot when you are not at your mood, she know all the techonical issues about IT. All in all, Mallika is a smart girl and good Stuff for KC& Grace. The cook is great, i enjoyed eating there during my 3 days stay there. Before my leave, KC had even prepared the ice cream for me, which tastes delicious. The most important thing is that i have learnt a lot about india, which helps a lot for my future business. My next visit to Bangalore, i will stay there definetely.巍巍2016-03-25T00:00:00Z
This is by far the best airbnb i've ever stayed at! I did quite a bit of research for my 5 day trip to bangalore but after looking at pictures of the place and going through the wonderful reviews that it had, nothing else seemed to match up. Guess what? The reviews were spot on! The place was amazing - very nicely done up and well maintained. Location wise, it was right at the heart of everything one needs - super market, bakery, ATM, lovely Oz chicken pies and to our delight a pain puri wala across the road! Big Brewski was at a stones throw and we devoured their Heffewiesen beers twice in our short trip. The best part was that in spite of being at the centre of the hustle bustle, it was quiet and peaceful. Haven't slept this well in ages! When you walk around the house, you realise how much effort has gone into making it the beautiful home that it is - whether it is the gigantic garden (bigger than most homes in Mumbai) or the living room, KC's bar or the ornate paintings and sculptures across the house. All I can say is that I hope to live in this kind of a setting someday :) Coming to the hosts, KC and Grace, I don't think words can do justice to how wonderful these people are. They came back from Europe late on our first night and were ready to receive us with a smile on their faces at 9 AM the next morning while we were still fast asleep! We really enjoyed their company, especially at the breakfast table (the breakfast was my best meal of the day) and I was in awe when I heard stories of KCs time in the Indian AirForce. One look at the pictures at the bar of KC with the who's who of Indian and international politics, and you'll realise how lucky you are to be meeting a man of his stature. Their support staff was just as nice and helpful with DJ the adorable dalmatian just being the icing on the cake. I think KC and Grace are have actually understood the essence of what Airbnb is about - they're not providing you a place to stay, they are sharing their home. And what a marvellous home it is! I hope to see you guys again soon! Keep being the rockstars that you guys are! Until next time, Cheers!Hersh2016-07-11T00:00:00Z
It seems that all was meant to be.. In life you come across people for a reason and knowing and meeting and knowing KC was beautiful. We choose to spend time with locals and KC has showed,guided, planned most if not all the trip. I would highly recommend anyone this place, anyone who wants a place to stay, a chat with lovely and caring people,good food to eat while enriching ones passion to travel south india.. Thanks millions KC..Ratna2016-11-14T00:00:00Z
"Dear KC and Grace, You both have been marvelous hosts,taking care of everything since from long before our arrival and beyond our departure. We felt like arriving at old friends' home.Your house is full of life, spirit and warmth. The mystic paints on the walls are very attractive and speaking to us. The meals you proposed us were an amazing guided discovery of south Indian cooking. And the smiles of Mali ma and your other attendants let melt our hearts. We wish for all of you plenty of warmth, light, and peace for Christmas. We are looking forward to the next days we'll spend in your home very soon.Favre2014-12-17T00:00:00Z
It was wonderful to meet KC and Grace in there beautiful home. We enjoyed a good conversation and had a tour around the house and the different rooms. It is a clean, beautiful space. At the end we didn't stay for the night as planned due to other commitments.Asaf2016-01-23T00:00:00Z

Vijay is an excellent host. His care and service for the tenants is beyond expectation. He constantly checks with his tenants to see if there is anything that they need and gets is done ASAP. He is one of the best host I have ever seen in India and I highly recommend his apartment if you want to rent. The apartment I stay is very spacious, very well furnished and has all the required necessities that anyone would need. You dont need to think twice to make this choice.Arun2015-09-05T00:00:00Z
Vijay is a great host. He goes extra mile to make sure his guests are taken care. He even arranged complementary car. Apartment is clean. He had snacks, water and toiletries stocked to get you going (though some of the snacks were expired!). All in all had a great time.Kalyan2015-06-17T00:00:00Z
The host, vijay is one of the finest I have ever seen. It never felt like I am coming to someone else's house. Mr. Vijay made us feel like at home. The place is very beautiful, with all the amenities required. It suits the description given on airbnb to the last strand. Very very excellent host and very comfortable stay.Ajay2015-10-20T00:00:00Z

A very beautiful house for a very comfortable stay. You would just feel like home being away from home. You have a parking area. Good for a group of 4-6 people. A perfect place to stay rather than a hotel. Also the mini bar is complimentary..!!Ganesh2016-11-20T00:00:00Z
Our stay at Wenge House was very enjoyable. Darshan was a great host and ensured that we got to the location easily. He came himself to pick us up from the nearest landmark. He gave us great tips and where to eat for an authentic experience in Coorg. The house is large and well kept. Located close to the ATM, shops and eateries. The kitchen was stocked with snacks and everything that we needed for our stay there. The bedrooms were comfortable and the bathrooms were extremely clean (which is very important!). We enjoyed the breakfast that Darshan arranged for us the next morning. Would definitely love to come back here again. I would highly recommend this place while in Medikeri.Anjali2016-10-23T00:00:00Z
Darshan's place was very neat, cozy and comfortable. It is as advertised. In fact even better. The place is centrally located with transportation and attractions very nearby. Darshan was very helpful and doting. He arranged for transportation for us, and helped us with the itinerary as well. We had a great time and will recommend this place to anyone visiting Coorg.Raghunandana2016-11-26T00:00:00Z

Wonderful, neat, and airy place with the combination of Darshan's (owner) awesome hospitality. He helped us with the recommendation for yummylicious dinner and also acted as neutral person when we had an issue with our driver. Thanks Darshan for the great help :)Meha2016-10-08T00:00:00Z
Darshan's Wenge Place is right in the heart of the city - barely a 3-minute walk from the main road. And that's it's most important advantage. Rooms are new, clean and airy. I stayed at Wenge Place with my parents, wife and 2 kids for one night, and we absolutely loved it. Darshan stays adjacent to the place and is always there to help. He went out of his way to help us and walked with me to the restaurant to get dinner takeaways. I would totally recommend this place to anyone.Renju2016-12-03T00:00:00Z

Amera was extremely welcoming. Her flat is very comfortable, with a big guest room which is a haven off a very busy road. The accommodation is very well situated, if confusing to find. Don't leave the building without very clear markers to find your way back! But once you know, it's easy…We needed a taxi to take us to the airport very early in the morning and that was organised for us, and breakfast time is a perfect time to ask Amera advise about this and that. All in all, I would definitely recommend staying here.Kim2014-12-26T00:00:00Z
I stayed here 3 times in the last one year and I think that pretty much sums up.Praveen2015-11-28T00:00:00Z
Shareq and Amera provided me with a home away from home in Hyderabad. I stayed with their family for 4 weeks while in the process of moving to Hyderabad and could not have asked for more hospitable hosts. From providing me with directions to their home, to helping me navigate the city, they were kind and considerate, and made me feel like a part of a family. They even included me in their Diwali celebrations! The room in their home is spacious and private and is a wonderful contrast to the bustle of the city. There home is centrally located and provided easy access to historic sites, restaurants, and shopping. I highly recommend Shareq and Amera as hosts and am fortunate to have met them!Megan2016-11-16T00:00:00Z
I stayed at this place regarding my recent visit to Hyderabad. Amera and her husband Shareq were very pleasant. I am a person who likes being myself and I was very glad that the hosts never intruded. I was given a separate set of keys and I had enough freedom to come and leave my room whenever I wanted. The place was very clean too. Another advantage was that this house is in the center of the city with easy access to pretty much everything. I would definitely visit them again.Praveen2014-11-22T00:00:00Z
Shareq is really easy to communicate with and very knowledgeable about the city. The room is private, spacious, and with a comfortable bed. Area feels really secure.Guillaume2016-12-04T00:00:00Z

I had an extended stay here for a little over three months. Shareq was a wonderful and accommodating host throughout. The home is beautiful and in an excellent central location. I would absolutely recommend this room to anyone staying in Hyderabad.Kelsey2016-10-01T00:00:00Z

A heart-warming home-from-home experience! Indira was genuine and welcoming. Her home is stunning and the guest room tastefully decorated with THE most comfortable bed. Anjum organised a pick up for me at the airport and checked in regularly to see I had all I needed. Jyoti cooked amazing meals each morning. The breakfasts were always sumptuous and on time. A day trip to Mysore organised by Anjum and Nandini provided an excellent experience. I felt really comfortable at Indira's place and will definitely be back on my next trip to India.Salma2014-02-04T00:00:00Z
The true sign of a genuine welcome is the way your host makes you feel both at their home and after. Indira lives and breathes the essence of warmth, genuineness and care. From the moment I arrived at Indira's place I felt at home. The atmosphere was relaxed and calm and the setting wonderful. Her staff were equally fantastic making sure I had a lovely fresh meal and taking care of my every need. The saying 'A home away from home' applies 100% to Indira's home ... simply marvellous!Salma2016-05-11T00:00:00Z
Wow!! We knew from the pictures that Indira's would be gorgeous but we were amazed when we arrived! So beautiful and so welcoming. Indira herself was away for most of our stay but we met her initially and there was a veritable host of lovely women to make sure we were lacking nothing. Special mention of the unbelievable breakfast - after 6 weeks in India it was easily the best we had. I wish I'd asked for a class with the cook!Michelle2016-02-05T00:00:00Z
We loved our stay with Indira! Her home was lovely and we felt very welcomed. The space was an excellent oasis from the intensity of the city. Highly recommend!Natalie2015-06-30T00:00:00Z
Indiras home and the room provided is certainly the best place we have stayed in in India and certainly our best homestay experience world wide. Wonderful room with en suite, crisp fresh linen and towels. This was more 5 star hotel than homestay!! The breakfasts we are daily were excellent and we were helped out for all our needs FAR beyond our expectations! Our hosts we wonderfully chasing and interesting. Very good company. If we come through Bangalore again this is the only place we will stay. Highest possible recommendation!Andrew2014-05-11T00:00:00Z
What an absolutely beautiful place to spend our one night in Bangalore!! All the photos in the listing are 100% accurate and the house and room are exactly as lovely as they look - when you're there, it's kind of hard to believe you're actually still in the heart of a bustling city! Even though our visit was super short, Indira, Fazina, and the rest of the staff were so welcoming and made us feel right at home from the moment we arrived.... at 5:30am(!!) in the morning. The breakfasts were delicious and we loved that the guest house is right next to a day care/kindergarten - what a joy to see cute little kids going to school in the morning! Hopefully, we'll get to visit Bangalore for longer next time and stay with Indira and her family.Angi2013-07-31T00:00:00Z

Great place with a beautiful valley viewSaumya2017-01-02T00:00:00Z
The hosts are very welcoming. The place is in the midst of a forest area, and Mr Paul came to the main road to pick us up. The place has a lovely view from the balcony and it is very calm. The rooms are clean and nice as well. Visitors should note that coffee/tea will attract additional charges.Deepaknath2016-01-05T00:00:00Z
This location is perfect! Guests have the use of the whole upper floor with a balcony, which has a stunning views over the Coorg. Paul and his wife Lizzy are excellent hosts.Alan2015-02-23T00:00:00Z
This was our first home stay and it was completely worth.. Mr & Mrs Paul were great hosts. Paul was very kind and his wife is a very good cook. The place and the valley view is to die for. Must place to visit if you are planning for a relaxing stay at Coorg. Reaching there is a little tricky, however if you reach Coorg cliff resorts, pollobetta - then you are at the correct place, Mr Paul will follow up and ensures you are not in trouble. Thank you Mr & Mrs Paul.... Thank you AirBnbRavi Chandra2016-11-14T00:00:00Z
Paul's home is the perfect place to stay if you want complete isolation from civilization. You'll enjoy the valley from the balcony. We spent most of our time just staring into the valley. Note that you'll need pre-arranged transport to and from this house. Having your own vehicle makes it much easier. Also the food is excellent. Highly recommended.Varun2015-06-02T00:00:00Z
I wanted to go to Coorg for my honeymoon,but couldn't. When I got a couple of days off in December, I presented this idea to my wife. She was onboard! We have been to Coorg before, with friends, on shoestring budget, but I wanted something different this time. I dint want a hotel room and a folder named 'Coorg' full of photographs in front of monuments and waterfalls. So we ended up booking a homestay in Polibetta. Little did we know what was in store for us! to start with, Polibetta itself is around 90 minutes from Madikeri! Paul uncle knew better. He called a day before our trip and asked us to take a bus to Virajpet. We were caught up in finishing our work before taking a break. Running from office to ATM to taxi to airport to make it on time for the flight! He called again. He asked me get conveyance to Virajpet. I thought I would get something from wherever I land. How wrong I was! Madikeri town at 4 am on a December night is not where you want to get stuck without winter clothes. Especially with your wife! After a couple of hot beverages, we were on our way in a newspaper van with 7 others and all the newspapers that next day Virajpet would wake up to. After an hour of travel we reached Virajpet only to find out that our destination is another 20 km away and the next bus is not leaving before an hour. We called Paul uncle and asked him to rescue us. He arrived in 20 minutes, although it felt like eternity. The heating in his car and the landscape around put us a better mood. But we had a lot of sleep to catch up to. We slept till 10 am. Uncle served delicious breakfast that elevated our mood. That is when we got a good look around, It's a bungalow on a hill surrounded by coffee and pepper,rubber. The view from balcony is spectacular. You could see mist covered valley, blue & green hills till horizon. Uncle had arranged a vehicle for us for local sightseeing, and we set out! After a day of sightseeing we came home, &met another traveler, he was on solo bike trip across south India. He had amazing gadgets to and more amazing stories for us! That combined with wine and cake uncle served for Christmas, made had fun@dinner! We sat in the balcony looking at the darkness, enjoying the tranquility you never get to experience in our day to day life in the city. The pleasant climate, sounds of nature coming from vegetation and forest, sky filled with countless stars..! All of these took us back in time, we felt like we are in a different era, we are the only people in the world! Note: Uncle was extraordinarily helpful after we realized that we forgot our laptop at his place, helped us the next day to pick it...Shashi2015-12-26T00:00:00Z
Tranquil villa is a wonderful place to unwind and relax. Quite, soothing and relaxing are the words that come my mind. Though quite a bit distant from Madikeri and Kushalnagar, the location of the villa itself is quite unique and the view from the balcony at any time of day is just splendid. I could have sat there for hours enjoying the view out of the balcony. The rooms are neat and clean and quite spacious. The food is great and we thoroughly enjoyed the meals from Lissy aunty. Would love to visit again in the rainy or winter season.Sandeep2017-01-23T00:00:00Z
Living in a crowded city like Bangalore, we were looking for a quite retreat in nature's lap and Paul Uncle's place does exactly that. The house is slightly off the main town but the location is absolutely breathtakingly beautiful. Uncle has coffee plantations and he was kind enough to give us a tour of the same. Being a fashion blogger, I also did a couple of shoot and the location forms an amazing backdrop. Getting back at night could be a tad difficult owing to the remoteness of the area - it gets pitch black. As a result, we ended up having dinner at Uncle's house and it was absolutely simple, homecooked and fresh - just they way we like it! Uncle and his wife were so kind and generous and served us so lovingly. The cleanliness is impeccable and the hospitality is immaculate. The balcony is spacious and we loved every bit of it and didn't want to move! Rooms are nice and big, and very importantly clean. Would be coming here again for sure :)Sumedha2016-10-31T00:00:00Z

A great and welcoming stay, thanks so much Stephen and Manjula! We felt really at home in the lovely cool, spacious house, a real gem in the midst of hustling and bustling Mysore. The hot shower and filter water tap were small but important details that made it more comfortable! Would also like to say thanks for arranging the brilliant drivers, it really made the experience much more enjoyable. the home cooked meals were fantastic and definitely a unique experience that you can't get from a hotel. thanks again and hopefully we'll be back!!

Ich hatte 9 wunderschoene Tage im B&B und habe mich sehr Willkommen gefuehlt. Manjula und Stephen sind sehr gute Gastgeber. Sie haben dafuer gesorgt das es mir an nichts fehlt und das ich immer das Gefuehl hatte zu Hause zu sein. Angefangen bei dem leckeren Fruehstueck jeden Morgen, sehr gute Abendessen die ab und an stattgefunden haben, bis hin zur Organisation der Ausfluege, alles hat prima funktioniert und war sehr gut vorbereitet. Stephen und Manjula verfuegen ueber eine Crew von zuverlaessigen Fahrern, ob Riksha oder Auto, die mich gut und sicher ueberall hingebracht haben wo ich hin wollte. Gleich am Tag nach meiner Anreise ging es mit einer Fahrradtour mit Stephen los. Er verfuegt ueber ein grosses Wissen ueber Indien und die Geschichte Indiens und kann dies sehr lebendig und humorvoll vermitteln. Stephen musste dann leider geschaeftlich weg, was aber fuer die Organisation der Ausfluege und meinen schoenen Aufenthalt nicht stoerend war, denn Manjula ist die Perle im Hintergrund die alles managet. Es steht eine Crew von Fahrer und Guides bereit die einen immer gut und sicher ans Ziel bringen. Besonders hervorheben moechte ich auch Vasanth, der mich mit seiner Rikasha in Mysore und naher Umgebung gefahren hat. Egal ob zu einer Besichtigung oder auch zum Einkaufen hat er immer sehr geduldig auf mich gewartet. Ich hatte einen super schoenen Tag mit Tanu und Vasanth in das Ranganthittu Bird Sanctury. Tanu, die an diesem Projekt mitgearbeitet hat, weiss alles ueber die vielen verschiedenen Arten von Voegeln, Pflanzen und Baeumen die dort zu finden sind. Ich kann das Mysore B&B ohne Einschraenkungen weiterempfehlen. Es ist wie ein zweites Zuhause. Man kommt als Gast und geht als Freund. Danke an Manjula, Stephen und Lucy fuer eure Herzlichkeit und Freundschaft.Silvia2016-10-19T00:00:00Z
Stephen was the most fabulous host. He made us feel so very welcome and was amazing at helping organize activities during our brief stay. We didn't book his tour because I didn't want to cycle so he assisted us to join another walking tour. We loved going out to dinner with Manjula and Stephen, another guest and some of Stephen's expat friends. Stephen was a wealth of information and Manjula did a great job of preparing food. Thanks to both.Rhonda2015-03-24T00:00:00Z
Stephen and the whole Mysore B&B team are phenomenal! We only had a short stay in Mysore, but Stephen helped us make the most of it. He invited us to a personal dinner, arranged for transportation and recommended an itinerary over our visit, and kept my girlfriend and I thoroughly entertained throughout. We would have loved to have stayed longer. His location is quiet and residential, but we could easily walk to get a late bite to eat after a short tuk tuk ride from the bus station. We stayed in several homestays while in India, and Stephen's was the most affordable with no lack in service or amenities. The bucket shower was the only question mark initially, but is an experience everyone should have! I would recommend Mysore Bed & Breakfast without reservation if you want a friendly, personal experience in this city.Chad2012-10-03T00:00:00Z
This is an astonishing place. The warmth of the welcome continued throughout my stay. Stephen and the team strike the perfect balance of support and help and ensuring guests' privacy. A home from home. (I just put this to wind Stephen up as he can't stand the phrase). an outstanding experience.John2016-02-10T00:00:00Z
A joyful and entertaining host. Very professional and uptodate person. Has humble and reliable staff. Vasanth, the auto driver who manages the transport needs. Manjula, the house keeper with the meals. The house very Indian cultured and well kept. Meals are togather (when possible) by all guest. Has many books for reading. A good advisor and planner. Charitable and benevolance. Located close to places of interest and a good Indian restaurant. Fortunate to experiance and wish to return in future. Regards.yoganathan2013-10-17T00:00:00Z
I can't imagine a better place to stay in Mysore. Manjula and Stephen are great hosts and even Lucy the dog pays some interest even if she does get bored with you rather quickly. The food is excellent and plentiful, the craic (conversation and banter) is worth coming for alone, and the cycle tour around Srirangapatna is a must. (I regret not being able to do the city cycle tour as well.) I wouldn't consider staying anywhere else in Mysore -- well maybe, just maybe, Mysore Palace if they gave me a hefty discount.Stephen2013-12-23T00:00:00Z
Really enjoyed our stay with Stephen. Both he and Manjula were very welcoming, knowledgeable about the area, and ran a tight ship! Highly recommended, though it was a shame that we didn't get to go on one of the bike tours. Next time..Twembi2014-01-05T00:00:00Z

The Vikings were one of the few NFL teams willing to take a chance on Koren Robinson last summer when the receiver was going through 28 days of alcohol rehabilitation in South Carolina.
That won't be the case this off-season if Robinson is allowed to hit the free-agent market again. The veteran's career resurgence continued this week when he was named the kick return specialist for the NFC Pro Bowl team.
Free safety Darren Sharper, another free-agent pickup by the Vikings, also was named to the NFC roster.
Robinson leads the conference and is third in the NFL with an average of 26.6 yards per return. Not too bad considering this is the first time in his he has returned kicks in the NFL. The Seattle Seahawks, who parted company with Robinson last spring after numerous off-the-field incidents, never used him in that role.
Robinson joined the Vikings in early September after completing his program. Despite not playing in the first two games of the season and having a limited role early on, he also has caught 20 passes for 339 yards and a touchdown.
"It's a funny feeling right now, looking back on everything I've been through," Robinson said. "Being in the rehab facility in August and thinking that I would never play football again because I thought I had burned all of my bridges as far as an organization in the NFL. I didn't think I would get another chance. I got another chance, I've been able to play and be productive."
Coach Mike Tice was a big reason Robinson landed with the Vikings. Tice called Robinson while he was going through rehab, paving the way for the receiver to come to Minnesota.
"I'm proud of him and the guys blocking for him and (special teams coordinator) Rusty Tillman for pressing the issue with me to pull the trigger to put him in the game," Tice said. "So there are a lot of guys that I'm proud of, but mostly you have to be proud of the guys that are out there blocking and the guys that are running the football, Koren Robinson. They got it done."
Knowing how tight end Todd Heap plays -- as well as knowing him personally -- gives Ravens quarterback Kyle Boller a comfort zone in games.
The two are close friends and even room together during training camp, which has built ties that carry into games.
In the six games since Boller returned from his toe injury, Heap has led the Ravens in catches twice and tied for the lead two other times. Half of Boller's eight touchdowns have gone to Heap this season, including two of his four scoring throws in the red zone.
"The more comfortable you are with somebody, the more you understand where he's going to be and what kind of route he's going to run," Boller said.
Heap, who was snubbed for the Pro Bowl, is second among NFL tight ends with 69 catches -- which is already a career high with two games left -- and ranks third with 836 yards and six touchdowns.
The impressive part of Heap's season is that he is still not fully recovered from two off-season surgeries.
His shoulder is not at full strength, and doctors told him that it takes over a year for him to regain the same mobility in his ankle "if you ever get it back."
But Heap remains the most consistent big-play threat for the Ravens. He has produced a catch of 20 or more yards in 10 of 14 games this season.
"With the kind of season he's had -- off a rehab off-season -- we talked about it the other day how excited he is to get a full off-season of just getting ready for the (next) season," coach Brian Billick said.
Despite the two surgeries this off-season, Heap has never shown any hesitation in his play. In his trademark style, he has leapt, dove and stretched out for passes like he's always done in the past.
Some have speculated that Heap's play leaves his body unprotected, which could take a toll on him later and perhaps shorten his career.
"I don't know how else to play," said Heap, who has become the franchise's all-time leader in catches (237) and receiving yards (2,841) in just 64 games. "It's not in me to watch a ball go by or not make an attempt at it. If there's any way to get the job done, that's what I'm going to try to do. Whether the ball is high or low, you might as well try to get it, because you're going to get hit."

Recently, I've been noticing that when people fotograph me my eyes look quite assymetric. It really bothers me. It's the area of the eyelids. The right one looks far more bigger than the other one, specially considering I have thin almond eyes. It seems to be related to my skull structure perhaps? I feel it's quite obvious and noticeable. Is it normal? Could it be fixed and how? It bothers me and kind of worries me. Thank you so much!

Uneven eyes from asymmetric eyelid ptosis
Web reference: http://tabanmd.com/ptosis-droopy-upper-eyelid/
Left eyelid ptosis
Your asymmetry stems from left eyelid ptosis (droop), which is exacerbated by your subconscious use of your forehead muscle to raise your left eyebrow to compensate. This ends up increasing the show of your left eyelid platform (space between your eyelash and eyebrow.
An examination by an Oculoplastics specialist is necessary.

The most common cause of the asymmetry seen in your photograph is ptosis. (Skull structure issues causing asymmetry are comparatively rare.) Measurements and clinical examination by an Oculoplastic surgeon will clarify the reason for your asymmetry. Ptosis repair is an operation that may be performed in an office setting or ambulatory surgery center under sedation. Best wishes with your decision!

Hello, Monday!
I just spent the weekend in Palm Springs saying 'peace out' to my friend Whitney's singleness. It was definitely a 30-something-year-old bachelorette party because by 11pm on Friday night all of us were in our pjs and in bed. Lol.
And then the next morning everyone got up at 7am to workout and do yoga. But I wasn't mad AT ALL because it was super chill and relaxing and ridiculously enjoyable.
This recipe comes from my friend Joy's (the Baker) new book, OVER EASY. It is a full encompassing brunch book. You really don't need another. The recipes are creative and fun and so delicious-looking. And, of course, Joy's familiar, friendly voice opens up each and every recipe.
The background of the book is Joy's newly adopted city, New Orleans. I've been itching to go to New Orleans. I wanna go and eat all the beignets covered in mounds of powdered sugar and (hopefully) see Solange walking down the street looking angelic as she always seems to do.

Andrew Hetherington, Andy Anderson, Chris Buck, Mark Zibert, George Simhoni and Derek Shapton are among the more than 40 photographers who have contributed to the silent print auction to be held February 5 to raise money for Heather Morton, the freelance art buyer and popular blogger. In the fall, Morton began two years of chemotherapy for fibromatosis, an aggressive, non-malignant sarcoma.
The event will take place at the Gladstone Hotel in Toronto, Morton's home town, on February 5 at 7pm. Photographers Naomi Harris, Daniel Ehrenworth and Brett Gundlock will be showing images from recent projects, and there will also be a raffle for dozens of prizes. Sponsors include Pikto, Agency Access, Westside Studio, Katarina Marinic and others (a full list of sponsors, a look at some of the images for sale and more information can be found on Morton's blog, where friends and colleagues have been helping with postings).
Tickets are $10, and available via PayPal on Morton's site to anyone who wants to attend (or just support this effort from afar).
