The house is clean and it’s exactly as it is in the photos. The host was friendly and the caretaker who runs the place was of great help throughout our stay, they went above and beyond to help us. The location was perfect and quiet. It is a cozy home with all the basic amenities.

We've stayed here a number of times. Location is very quiet and serene. Apartments are very clean, spacious with great finishing. Friendly and responsive and extremely private area. I can go ahead and say maybe Entebbe road's best kept secret.
