The apartment is very homey and it has a stocked kitchen if you like to cook. The host Gloria is extremely helpful and kind always checking in and making sure you have a comfortable stay. It's quiet and close to shoppers plaza and if you get deliveries it is quite easy to explain to the rider. I'll definitely book here again and again!!

keys were there on arrival , good communication on the way and on arrival. Very nice, spacious, clean place . Hot water and wifi n fridge all working perfectly as was the flat screen tv . i was only there one day but I couldnt fault the place. 10 out of 10 from me. Athough its far from the road , the compound is spacious with enough greenery to be comfortable and sit in the compound outside the house . Also excellent value for money. Its one of the best places ive stayed in Dar if not the best for a budget apartment . The only reason i didnt give a score of 15 , is that 10 is the maximum .

We needed somewhere to spend the night near the airport. We are so happy we chose this place. The staff was absolutely amazing, and the owner, Mama Kiota, is an incredible person. The property is huge and has an amazing garden and pool. The food was excellent. They were also kind enough to let us use the room until our flight later in the afternoon, even if we were supposed to check out in the morning. Everything was perfect!

The beach isn't too far away, the calm and quiet environment, restaurants are close by. And for my fitness lovers, there's a really cool gym close by as well. The apartment was clean, and the host was super friendly and always ready to help. Fast WiFi available, fully functional kitchen, tidy rooms, free parking space, and just a really awesome vibe overall. I'd recommend it.

The accommodation was as described (budget). The location was ideal for airport transit (10-15 min drive). The staff was friendly and helpful. The facilities were basic, but clean. The airport pick-up/drop-off worked as promised. Flexibility with check-in/out times. I am a returning guest.
