One week is a good time to begin with. Longer and shorter stays are fine.
LIVING ARRANGEMENT
My flat has only one bed room and a living room. You can sleep in the bed room (which has a fan). I will sleep on the floor. There is one bathroom, to share, which is accessible only from the bed room. I will not let my guest sleep on the floor.
My flat is located on the 7th floor and there is a lift, but not guaranteed to work 24 hours, 7 days a week.
I will make morning tea, lunch and dinner. I am not into breakfast :(- I mostly cook local dishes, from products I buy from the local market. Food will be simple, but cooked at home. You could cook your own breakfast and other meals, if you like to. There is a vegetable and provisions store just near by. A few minutes away there is also the big market of Ernakulam.
I am not an expert cook, but will be happy to help you learn some of our local dishes, if you would like to.
I work for UK hours, so our dinner and sleep is a bit late normally. You can sleep late for sure.
