Good place to explore stone town
This is a rustic property (and I mean that in a good way). If you want the authentic stone town experience, this is it. However, the WiFi isn’t the best. It’s due to the home being on the second floor and the literal stones of stone town prevent the network from connecting properly. If you’rea digital nomad like me, keep this in mind. But the master bedroom with the private bathroom is very nice and the location puts you close to everything you will want to see and experience in stone town. And Wahida and Masoud are great hosts.
