“no wish to recommend the apartments for travelers”
The main advantage of the apartments is the swimming pool on the roof. The location is suitable, but can be a little far from the main sights.

“Relaxing Stay in Busy Colombo”
This is a wonderful homestay. You get your private room with bathroom and balcony. Kitchen and living room is shared with the owners which are very friendly and helpful. All is with nice furniture and very clean. The apartment is at the 4th floor of 11 and on the rooftop you can enjoy a pool and gym and wonderful view all over Colombo. Highly recommended.
