Romain was really helpful and attentive to everything we wanted to do. The apartment is spacious, but is a little bit tricky to find it in the first place. After you know your whereabouts in town, everything is good! Thank you for everything! Hakuna matata!

    Really friendly host. We arrived at 7.15am to drop off our luggage after an overnight flight and, as our room had not been taken the previous night, were able to take it immediately. The place is spotlessly clean, atmospheric and with a perfect location right in the heart of the old Stone Town

    What a wonderful little place this is to stay, in a quiet safe location. The rooms are spotlessly clean, great Wi-fi and air-conditioning. Breakfast was nice too, but what makes this place special, is the charm, and friendliness of the the host Angel and her colleague. They were always there to help, and Angel helped me with a difficult situation with with another booking.  For the price I think it is great value, and I would not hesitate staying there again. Asante Sana!!

    We stayed in three different places in Stone Town because we couldn't find a clean budget place with decent wifi for working. This place was perfect and I wish we had found it earlier. The bedroom is huge and the wifi works very well in the room. The bathroom was spacious and spotless. The is AC but the fan was enough to keep us cool.

    I actually message the landlady on the messenger function and asked for early check-in in the morning instead of the afternoon. she put me in touch with Mansoud and arrange everything for 10 am. It went smoothly. they handed over the keys and told me everything there is to know about the room and the flat. I love the location as it like 30m from Spice hotel and the Jaws terrace restaurant to get breakfast at 8 sud and affordable lunch or dinner. The room is very spacious and clean

    Lovely apartment in an excellent location in Stone Town. Everything in stone is less than 5min walk to the apartment. Rooms are spotless & well cleaned. Staff are very helpful & plenty of restaurants nearby to experience delicious swahili cooking. Very good value for money and i highly recommend Zanzibar Spice Nest Apartment.
