9.4/10 Exceptional! (481 reviews)

The apartment was clean, secure, well furnished, and the views were second to none. We really enjoyed having a home to come back to in the evenings, and the location made it easy to visit the Victorian Market, Leakey's Book Store, etc. We'd love to return someday!
