This is a walking town and the location is central - easy to get anywhere. Very clean. Bed was comfortable. We recommend this place for a stay in Stone Town."

"Die Beschreibung des Apartments ist sehr irreführend. Es handelt sich um ein Apartment, in dem 2 Zimmer vermietet sind und man sich Küche und Aufenthaltsraum teilt, wie eine WG. Die Zimmer Einrichtung ist spartanisch,die Küche ist vernünftig ausgestattet. Lage ist gut. Kommunikation ebenso."

"This is a rustic property (and I mean that in a good way). If you want the authentic stone town experience, this is it. However, the WiFi isn’t the best. It’s due to the home being on the second floor and the literal stones of stone town prevent the network from connecting properly. If you’rea digital nomad like me, keep this in mind. But the master bedroom with the private bathroom is very nice and the location puts you close to everything you will want to see and experience in stone town. And...

"My family and I (total of 14) spent some time in northern Tanzania on safari then travelled to Zanzibar for a relaxing end to the trip. We rented through with the original understanding that we were renting a large house. However it then became clear that we rented an entire small boutique hotel with an incredible staff available to us. Breakfast was included in the price and we had access to the hotel chef for the lunch and dinner meals. There was a local market that we walked to regularly for...

"Arrival was difficult - difficulty contacting host, and on arrival they gave us a wrong room and moved us, then needed us to move again for our final night. Each apartment had wifi and a tv, and there was an AC unit in each bedroom. But there were no good instructions about using the place, no maps or helpful tools for visitors, and you needed to hunt for the single soap and 2 towels. Very basic."

"Great facilities, very nice staff, various new food every day. The only remark is the beach which witnesses a very high tide, so swimming is impossible in the morning till around 2PM. But you can use this time to visit the island. Other than that, everyone is helpful and attends to your needs. Definitely recommend."
