“Great Room and Service vs. Terrible Building Conditions (See Photos)”
Positive Experience: I stayed here for two days and I must highlight the exceptional hospitality. Albert, the host, was incredibly professional, friendly, and did everything in his power to make my stay comfortable. The room itself was excellent, very clean, and well-equipped with everything one might need.

Well stocked mini apartment; it's clean, with mosquito net, TV, Air Conditioning, fan and a small kitchen with micro-wave and full of cooking utensils. A very good value for money, not very common in the town of Mombasa.

“Great option for short and long stays in Mombasa”
The apartment is not very big, but sufficient for 1 or 2 persons, it is well equipped - fridge, air conditioning, wi-fi and hot water always working, the location is close to Mombasa old town, easy walk to grocery stores (Quickmart or Naivas). The entrance might look a bit shabby, but it's not an issue, there are locals around that will kindly greet you. The host is always available for any questions or doubts. In general, highly recommended, thank you!

Comfy bed, working AC, a few metres from the CBD, so not noisy and easy accessibility to the CBD

The host Thayu was so friendly and super informative on what to check out and how to get to Diani. The bed was comfortable and had everything you need. Was great to have access to Netflix for a few days! The kitchen was well stocked to store things and cook. The washing line outside allowed us to dry our clothes.
