“For travellers keen to dive into Stone Town's heart, this spot makes a compelling case with its stellar location moments from Jaws Corner, alongside practical perks like in-room AC, essential in Zanzibar's heat. Its apartments, larger than expected, come equipped with kitchen facilities, and the optional airport pickup streamlines arrival; I think this is a solid base for families or groups wanting to explore local culture.”
