    Lokesh's 4 days trip to Mumbai

    Decent enough! The rooms they booked are very basic rooms but charges are on a bit higher side. We had to reach to the hotel and had to call them to confirm the booking. (Not pre-booked) Cab services were good tho! Driver was very much into our plan and on time to the places we wanted to visit. Overall a moderate experience!
