I liked that the property is within the town itself. It is very easy to get to the places that I wanted to visit from my accommodation. The place has a very rustic feel to it and that it is adorned with Swahili elements. Very clean, peaceful and the inner courtyard allows privacy despite being near the port. The room I had was also nice although a little bit tiny for my preference but nonetheless it was more than enough to provide me space, comfort and privacy. I was very pleased with the breakfast they had. I enjoyed it a lot.
