We loved Angel (the host). She was so helpful and we were allowed to leave our luggage for the whole day after check out. The location was perfect, aside the trouble but in short walking distance of the main tourist attractions of Stone Town. The room was really clean, the ac works and the breakfast was good. We felt like home there and will come back next time!

    The location was great, right in the middle of Stonetown. It’s very practical, especially if you don’t have a lot of time to see Stonetown. The room had AC and a fan that both worked. Overall the place looked as expected and we had no issues. (We had the room with private bathroom).

    What a wonderful little place this is to stay, in a quiet safe location. The rooms are spotlessly clean, great Wi-fi and air-conditioning. Breakfast was nice too, but what makes this place special, is the charm, and friendliness of the the host Angel and her colleague. They were always there to help, and Angel helped me with a difficult situation with with another booking.  For the price I think it is great value, and I would not hesitate staying there again. Asante Sana!!

    We stayed twice in this very nice guesthouse in the middle of Stonetown. The rooms and private bathroom are basic, comfortable and clean. You eat your breakfast, that comes with fresh fruit, on the rooftop terrace. The owner is very helpful and tries to do everything to make your stay as comfortable as possible. You also can arrange your tours here, they are of great value. The location is ideal. No cars around, close to the old slave market and the food market. If you visit Stonetown, we can definitely recommend this place!

    We stayed in three different places in Stone Town because we couldn't find a clean budget place with decent wifi for working. This place was perfect and I wish we had found it earlier. The bedroom is huge and the wifi works very well in the room. The bathroom was spacious and spotless. The is AC but the fan was enough to keep us cool.

    I actually message the landlady on the messenger function and asked for early check-in in the morning instead of the afternoon. she put me in touch with Mansoud and arrange everything for 10 am. It went smoothly. they handed over the keys and told me everything there is to know about the room and the flat. I love the location as it like 30m from Spice hotel and the Jaws terrace restaurant to get breakfast at 8 sud and affordable lunch or dinner. The room is very spacious and clean
