    Brown is the best! Nicest guy, who will do anything to take care of his guests with a huge smile. Breakfast is amazing! We didn’t get to check out the area much, not sure if there’s much to do, but it seems cool and very local. We had a lovely stay.

Hi, I'm Brown. I am a happy go lucky host from Dar es salaam. My love of travelling and meeting new people has compelled me into hosting. Some of my interests include learning new languages, music and watching movies. As a host, I cant wait to show my guests great hospitality as your happiness my business. My property is just ten minutes from the airport and you will have the entire place for yourself, on your request, the setup can be adjusted to suit your need, two or three beds. As I live on the compound, I am available 24/7 to offer support and would love to show you around, if that's something you would like.
The apartment is situated at local residential area, a perfect place to stroll and wander, taking in the sights, sounds and the smell of the city. This is the place you will taste local foods and visit local markets and have wonderful time at the local pubs. The neighborhood features playgrounds, where you can often see local football matches in the evening. On your departure, you will not have to worry about delaying to the airport as it is just 10 minutes drive. During your stay, the supermarkets are also within the same distances
