The bathroom facilities are rather luxurious. The house offers guests a shower with running warm water and a seated toilet; two facilities which aren't very common in Tanzania.
The guest rooms are cleaned on a weekly basis; also the bed sheets are replaced weekly. There are tools and running water available to do your laundry by hand wash.

About the Area
Staying in this local family house will make you experience the African culture from an insider's point of view. The host family will make you feel welcome and cherished from the moment you arrive.
I will offer you three big nutritious home made meals per day, prepared with fresh ingredients from either their own garden or local markets. The meals, which are shared with members of the family itself, are the perfect opportunity for an interesting cultural exchange; you might even find yourself picking up some Swahili words!
