Really friendly host. We arrived at 7.15am to drop off our luggage after an overnight flight and, as our room had not been taken the previous night, were able to take it immediately. The place is spotlessly clean, atmospheric and with a perfect location right in the heart of the old Stone Town

Lovely apartment. The location is at the center of the stone town with easy access to everywhere. We are a group of three friends who really enjoyed the spatial space and kitchen facilities, as well as our privacy with three en-suite rooms. The host has been very warm and helpful. Highly recommend!

The apartment was at a good location, very central. The owner was very good at communicating and helpful. The apartment was spacious and had a lockable drawer (a bit like a safe) in the twin room. The owner arranged for their driver to take us to the airport at the end of our stay for 15USD, this was very helpful and handy as it was prompt. Having a fridge and good WiFi was very good.
