Phenny was a great host. Her comms were super responsive, she put me in touch with an excellent driver and sorted out a transfer to/from Diani and she came to meet when I arrived. She also upgraded me to another place so I can't actually comment on the place I booked through booking.com.

The host was super friendly and explained a lot to us, that we were able to organise ourselves in the first days in Kenya.

Authentic location, good value for money and a safe place to stay.
The fan can be a bit too weak for the warmest nights in Mombasa.

I had a fantastic experience last Friday! The accommodations were comfortable, clean, and well-maintained. The host was incredibly hospitable, making sure all my needs were met and providing great local recommendations. The location was convenient, with easy access to nearby attractions. I would highly recommend this stay to anyone looking for a wonderful experience.

The host Phenic was a very kind woman. Also, the kitchen looked well equipped, though we were there only for one full day and we didn't use it but might be helpful to someone.
The apartment is in an unpleasant building with so weird entrance that arriving at night can be a bit scary. We didn't feel very safe, despite the huge lock and that Phenic was trying to convince us the opposite. The facilities inside were very old, the bathroom was uncomfortable. The room was relatively small and couldn't fit two big suitcases well.

Accessibility to town and airport and very good wifi
what is in the pictures is not what is in the room. Very small bathroom sink , no hot water ,

NOTHING. We were extremely happy to leave this place.
I don't even know where to start... First of all, do not trust any of the pictures.
The cleanliness of this place is more than doubtful, I lost count of how many cockroaches we killed within the first hour. We didn't even dare to set foot into the kitchen. The shower consists of a bucket on the floor and little cockroaches owning the tiny space.
The balcony was an absolute favourite, a broken chair and surrounded by a huge fence making you feel like a bird in a cage. The entrance to the building also deserves a mention here. One of the creepiest, dirtiest and smelliest courtyard I have experienced in my entire life. The owner was not present during check-in, sending a random someone with the key instead, only showing up late in the evening to collect the worst ever spent money of my life.
I am puzzled at how this accomodation gets such good reviews. I did not even feel safe while we stayed there. Attaching real photos of the place, just see for yourself! Do yourself a favour and book somewhere else.

Neighbourly nest was very good value for Mombasa and excellently placed to see everything on the island. Just a 200 KES tuktuk ride to Fort Jesus and no need to book as tuk tuks and taxis pass by in the road every 2 or 3 minutes.
The entrance to the block of apartments is very hidden, but the owner came out to meet us as we arrived in our taxi. Going through the back yard and up the unkempt stairs was a bit off-putting, and there was no lift, but the apartment itself was homely and safe. A private bathroom, kitchen and balcony were a big bonus. Overall the place could do with a lick of paint, but it was clean and spacious and perfect for our stay.
It could do with a lick of paint. and the entrance, stairs and state of the building in general was a bit off putting

the location is great close to everything by tuk tuk

The host Phenic is very friendly and helpful. She even picked me up from the main road and walked me to my room.
The mattress is very comfortable and the fan in the ceiling gives you just the perfect breeze to enable a good night's sleep.
The neighborhood and entrance to the building are quite rundown. If you are in for the real experience you might appreciate it but if you are easily impressed then you might not enjoy it. I had no issues with it.

The host is a wonderful lady, she welcomed me personally and walked me through the entire house. Additionally she was just a phone call away, should l require any assistance, though l didn't need to call her.😊
I loved the unit's location because it was central to the CBD. It was a walking distance to all activities that l needed to do, be it work, shopping or leisure. It was also easily accessible via vehicle or tuktuk as it's located near the tarmac road network.
The unit had all things one would think of using, be it hot water, iron box, electric kettle, cooking cutlery, cooker, microwave, fridge, drinking water, reading desk, free wifi etc.
The unit was very clean, had extra beddings if needed and a very nice firm mattress.
One more thing. I felt safe while living there as a solo traveller. The unit was a home away from home.
I highly recommend this place and will stay there again and again.
Thank you so much Phenic.

The communication with the host is great. The host helped us with the check in, and anything we needed during our stay. She even could extend our stay, when we urgently needed. Just be sure to write them through booking beforehand, they will be there to help. The apartment is small but very well planed and decorated. The bed is comfortable and there is balcony as well.
The apartment is very clean and they take care that everything in the apartment is organized: Towels, extra sheets, hand soap, kitchen supplies, etc. We are really happy we found such nice place, so close to the center!
Nothing, everything was perfect.
