Tsumiko | Japan
Jacque is an amazing host who always replies quickly and is attentive to our needs at any time. She is caring and flexible. The kitchen has all the cookeries you could desire. A very safe location and pleasant to walk around. I will come back to this place again.

The host truly goes the extra mile to make your stay comfortable. The apartment is fully equipped — from drinking water and condiments to a washing machine and comfy office chair. Though the compound is older, the interior is spotless. Karen is safe and great for walks, with Waterfront Mall and a Chinese store nearby. I mistakenly thought the gym was included, but there’s one close by (a bit pricey). 100% recommend and I’ll definitely be back!
Haroon | Kenya
Very nice and lovely place, good location... Everything was provided, the owner and staff were very friendly and helpful. Any issues we'd have they would immediately help us with. Would definitely recommend this place.
