Right in the center of the Stone Town alleys and walking distance to the old fortress, this apartment probably has one of the best locations in the whole town. Hosts was great to communicate with. The apartment is really much bigger than we would have thought from the pictures. Beds are comfy and both ac and ceiling fans works very well.
