Stone Town is a Unesco Heritage area which has history dating back hundreds of years. The local Swahili and Arab culture is very much preserved and can be seen visually from the decor of the house ie doors and alleyways.

The house is situated in great location whereby, all amenities like shops, restaurants, street food stalls, cafes, curio shops, historical sites and the beautiful turquoise waters of the Indian Ocean are only a stone throw away.
