For the price this place was really great. It was a little hard to find but they reach out and give you contact details ahead of time. Its in a really central location but still quiet. Place was very clean and room was large. Had a shared bathroom which was cleaned often. Was only slightly more than a hostel but definitely a step up

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.

This place was a hideen gem. The hostel is one of the oldest guest house in the city, full of old photographies an objects, carpets on the floor and spaces were to sit and relax. Amazing rooftop with view on the port and the sea life. Nice sunset. The stuff extra friendly, the girls who served breakfast as well, take care of the details. They can order food for dinner or lunch in case you need it. Walkable distance from the centre.
