There is a private entrance at the apartment for the convenience of those who stay. Featuring family rooms, this property also provides guests with a terrace. Here's the rev We spent a week in August at Liza's place, and it was absolutely wonderful. After spending 5 weeks on the island, we can confidently say that this is the best option in the south of Zanzibar. In fact, we enjoyed it so much that we rented it again for another week after staying in the north. Liza is incredibly attentive, proactive, and very friendly. The house is unbeatable: spacious, clean, and perfectly located just a few steps from Jambiani beach. It's a quiet environment, perfect for a well-deserved vacation. Both the bedroom and the bathroom, as well as the kitchen, are fantastic—we felt right at home with privacy and comfort. The bed is large and comfortable, there’s plenty of space for clothes, and we had a cozy private balcony with a chill area to relax.The bathroom is spacious with great ventilation and plenty of hot water. Laundry machine, a owerful fan and AC its always a must and everything worked perfectly! We are thrilled with our stay! I would 100% recommend it and will definitely return!

We booked only one night in this beautiful studio type apartment as we were moving between North and South, it was very comfortable stop to enjoy another area of Zanzibar. We arrived for check in after snorkeling in Mnemba and spend rest of the day enjoying the pool and beach walk to nearby restaurant on the beach for dinner. After it felt like coming home, apartment is part of big villa where also owners lives on the first floor, they helped us with suggestions for rest of our travel and made us feel welcome and relaxed. We just regretted we did not book at least two nights to enjoy it even more. There is air conditioning in bedroom and all essentials. We were welcomed with cold water bottles in the fridge and fruits, such a nice touch. House dog Rocky and cat Coco made us miss our pets back home and was such a wonderful addition to our stay. Thank you for your hospitality.

Kitchenware and kettle are also provided. At the apartment complex, each unit is equipped with bed linen and towels. We liked everything here. The best part was the value. We are traveling on a budget and this place far exceeds our comfort standards. The AC made going back to the apartment, something we looked forward to at the end of the day. And the space was much larger than I would have imagined. The staff was also very very nice. When they heard we had another friend meeting us later they offered to move an entire other bed into our room. They were very understanding and helpful. The apartment was also in a less touristy place, which meant we could buy cheap groceries locally from a very welcoming community while only being a 20 minute walk away from gorgeous beaches and activities.
