    Room is very clean and comfortable. I didn't expect such a large room considering The pricepoint. Guards at The door made us feel safe by being helpful and vigilant. Location is excellent, quiet, yet near The City and The lakeside attractions. The host is very accommodating and approachable :)

    I absolutely enjoyed my stay here! The level of comfort in the apartment is beyond exceptional, and I appreciated how spacious and clean it was. The apartment had all the necessities, and the host, always a phone call away in case of anything, offered a wonderful welcome. I have found my home away from home while in Kisumu, and I highly encourage others to give this space a try while in town. The compound is quiet and serene, which I greatly appreciate. I can't wait to come back!

    Really a spacious apartment in a prime location to reach the city centre, major shopping malls and leisure venues near Lake Victoria. The host was extremely helpful and accommodating. Given the central location, the apartment was quiet.

    Sophie and Linet were great and courteous host during out stay. The apartment is at a great location-close to town and to a major shopping mall. The place was cozy and very clean. All facilities were working and in good condition. The balcony on one of the bedrooms had a good scene and was relaxing to be at. The location is secure and quiet. We had access to WiFi and streamed TV. Sophie was very responsive and courteous and ensured that we were comfortable. Will definitely go back again.. a must recommend for anyone in kisumu.
