This is a great and comfortable property in a good location with easy access to the beach and centre of Stone Town. It was clean and had everything I needed for my short stay and had everything I expected for the cheap price I paid. The owner and host is especially fantastic. He could not do enough for me and was kind and attentive throughout my stay. He helped me with absolutely everything and nothing was too much trouble; he organised with transport and the spice farm tour which I recommend. His restaurant, Seven Spice, is also nearby and serves delicious local food, all homecooked. A fantastic property for people travelling who want good value for money with a kind and extremely helpful host.

    This property was beautifully decorated and very comfortable. It had aircon in the main room and fans in the bedrooms. The breakfast was amazing and the whole stay was such good value for money for those on a budget. The staff were very friendly and looked after our bags while we explored the town.

    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!!
