We lives in typical Jakarta's neighbourhood, where you can see groceries sellers, food staler, and some others passing in front of our gate. And near by is a little mosque will calling for praying 5 times a day. But please do not offence, you can use your ear plug to reduce the sounds. You will experience the real living of Indonesian across the neighbourhood. Our home is 5 minutes walk to Cawang/Tebet commuter train station that will connect you to north Jakarta Kota / Old Town / China Town area and Bogor. Other 10 minutes walk to Jakarta Rapid Bus network. But please don't dare to look for a public transport during rush hour, sometimes it will be frustrating and it applies the whole Jakarta.
We love to spend our time at home, and sometimes travelling over the weekend to out of the city. When we home, we love to cook even invites friends / family to share the happiness together.
I have been living in this neighbourhood for more than 20 years, and we just renovate the house 5 years ago, with the touch of local. And we had been hosting since 2012

When you stay with Henry and Nova you get a warm welcoming and open home. They provided me with a clean bedroom, bathroom and even basic toiletries. They are very nice hosts and like to engage with visitors. They are also helpful in recommending you places and getting you around the big city.
I'd stay there again and I highly recommend them!June 2016

Henry and Nova are great hosts. They are friendly, humorous and helpful. The place is clean and we felt like at home in this mega city jakarta. Our daughter loves them and played with them a lot. She is still asking for Henry and Nova. The location is in a quite good position in Jakarta. We used the train a lot and Trans-Jakarta Busway is not far either. Thank you for hosting us. We love to come back to yor place on our next stay in Jakarta!
