A peaceful **two-bedroom serviced apartment in central Putalisadak**, a twelve-minute walk from Thamel and minutes from Durbar Marg, Ranipokhari and the embassy district at Lazimpat. The location gives you the best of both worlds — Thamel's restaurants, cafés and tour operators on foot, with a quiet residential street to come home to. Sleeps up to four across two bedrooms. Fully equipped kitchen with induction hob, oven, fridge-freezer, full crockery, kettle and coffee setup — cook a real meal, not just reheat takeaway. Fast fibre Wi-Fi suitable for video calls, air conditioning in both bedrooms, on-demand hot water, and inverter back-up that keeps lights and Wi-Fi running through Kathmandu's load-shedding. **Smart-lock self check-in from 3:00 PM** with a unique door access code issued the day before arrival. No reception, no key handover. Your local host is on WhatsApp from arrival to checkout — recommendations for momo, trekking permit advice, or a late drop-off without using a help-centre ticket. **Book direct and save 10–20%** versus the platform fee charged by Airbnb and Booking.com. Card payments via Stripe; local guests can pay by Nepali bank transfer with a one-hour grace window. Monthly discounts available for stays of 28 nights or more. ### Ideal for - Families with kids (extra bed available on request) - Two couples travelling together - Trekking groups before or after a Himalayan expedition - Slow travellers and digital nomads staying a week or more - NGO and embassy visitors who need to be near Lazimpat ### What's nearby - Thamel tourist hub and trekking permit office — 12 min walk - Garden of Dreams — 8 min walk - Durbar Marg and Royal Palace — 6 min walk - Lazimpat embassy district — 10 min walk - Kathmandu Durbar Square (UNESCO site) — 18 min walk - Tribhuvan International Airport (KTM) — 12 min by taxi

Frequently Asked
What are the check-in and check-out times?
Check-in is from 3:00 PM and check-out is by 11:00 AM. Self check-in via smart lock — your unique door code is sent the day before arrival, so you can arrive any time after the check-in window without waiting for a host.
Can I check in early?
Check-in is from 3:00 PM. If your apartment is ready sooner, we'll message you on WhatsApp so you can come in early — but it isn't guaranteed because we need time to turn the apartment over after the previous guest.
Can I drop off luggage before check-in?
Yes — we offer a free self-operated luggage locker that can be accessed 24 hours a day. Drop your bags and explore Kathmandu while we finish preparing your apartment.
Can I check out later than 11:00 AM?
Check-out is by 11:00 AM. We offer the free luggage locker so you can store your bags after checkout and continue exploring. Late checkout itself isn't guaranteed unless an extra night is booked.
Is the check-in self-service?
Yes. The apartment uses a smart lock with a unique PIN code that is generated for your booking and shared 24 hours before check-in. There is no reception, no key handover and no waiting.
What if we are more than 4 guests?
The apartment sleeps up to 6 guests. The base nightly rate covers 4 guests; each additional guest is charged $25 per night, up to the 6-guest cap. Set the guest count at checkout and the total will update automatically.
Do you take a security deposit?
Yes — a refundable $80 security deposit is held against accidental damage and is released after checkout. It is collected when the door code is generated for card bookings, or together with the booking total for bank-deposit bookings.
What is the cancellation policy?
This booking is non-refundable. Once confirmed, the dates are locked in. We may refund in full in force-majeure cases (visa denial, illness with documentation, natural disaster) — message us on WhatsApp if your situation changes.
Can I pay by bank transfer instead of card?
Yes. At checkout choose "Pay by bank deposit" — your booking is held for one hour while you complete the transfer to our Nepali bank account. Send us the receipt on WhatsApp and we confirm the booking. If the deposit is not received within the hour the dates release automatically.
Can you arrange an airport pickup?
Yes. We offer one-way pickup from Tribhuvan International Airport (KTM) via a vetted local driver — tick "Add airport pickup" at checkout. Tribhuvan is about 3.4 km by car from the apartment.
Is there Wi-Fi?
Yes, fast fibre Wi-Fi is included free of charge. The network name and password are inside the welcome card you find on arrival, and we will WhatsApp them the day of check-in too.
Can I cook here?
Yes — full kitchen with induction hob, oven, fridge-freezer, kettle, coffee maker, full crockery and knives. We also leave basic spices and cooking oil so you can get started without a supermarket run.
Is hot water and electricity always available?
Yes. Hot and cold water is available 24/7, and the building has battery / inverter backup so the lights, Wi-Fi and fridge stay on through any city power cuts.
Is smoking allowed?
No — smoking and vaping are not allowed inside the apartment or on the balcony. Designated outdoor smoking areas are nearby. A cleaning levy may apply if the rule is broken.
Are pets allowed?
We do not currently host pets. Service animals are welcome with prior arrangement — message us on WhatsApp before booking.
Can I skip the cleaning fee?
Yes — opt in to self-cleaning at checkout and the cleaning fee is waived in exchange for returning the apartment in a clean and tidy state. Linen laundering still stays with our housekeeping. Deep cleaning after checkout, if required, is deducted from the security deposit.
Where exactly is the apartment?
The apartment is in central Kathmandu — Lwohiti Galli, New Plaza, Putalisadak 44600, Nepal — about 0.9 km to Thamel and Durbar Marg, 0.7 km to the Nepal Tourism Board and 5.2 km by car to Patan Durbar Square. The exact street address and door code are sent the day before check-in.
Is there a lift in the building?
No — there is no lift. This is a walk-up apartment on its floor of a residential building.
Will climbing stairs be difficult?
Most guests manage well with the stairs. However, it may not be suitable for guests with mobility issues or elderly travellers — please consider this when booking.
Why don’t you offer a lift?
Only about 15% of Kathmandu Airbnb listings have lift access, and those are usually hotels. This apartment provides spacious, private, home-style accommodation in a local residential building — that’s the trade-off.
What beds are available?
1 King, 2 King Single. Linen is changed between every stay.
Do you have heating and cooling?
Yes — the apartment has a split AC system that handles both cooling in summer and heating on cooler Kathmandu nights.
What if there is no internet?
Outages are rare, but if our fibre Wi-Fi drops we provide a temporary backup dongle until full service resumes. Just message us on WhatsApp and we drop one off.
Is safe drinking water available?
Yes — we provide unlimited processed drinking water through a dispenser inside the apartment. Tap water is fine for cooking and washing.
