Where to stay in Fort Kochi

Fort Kochi is kind of the homestay capital of India. One can find a homestay in almost any streets in Fort Kochi. So if you are more than one person, homestays and budget hotels will be the best option. Sowparnika Hermitage is one such lovely homestay that I personally know.
