    I enjoyed my stay at Nayssas place very much. Cosy rooms, central location and very nice host. Nayssa showed me the best places to eat and drink, organized a scooter rental and took me to different shops to buy a camera, because mine was broken. Through Nayssa I also got to know many locals. It was overall a great time in Stone town. Asante sana Nayssa.

You then pay your host on arrival or as stated by your host on their profile and agreed by you on booking. Please be cautious if a host requests advance payment if its not included on their profile.
