My purchase decision for this apartment was to have a holiday home away from my current residence in Nairobi that is also good enough to share with guests seeking accommodation in Mombasa. The apartment is like my second home and I have gone out of my way to furnish it and ensure that my guests feel like it is their home too. It's prime location was also top to the purchase decision-making, with close proximity to shopping centers, cinemas, restaurants and the beach. The road to the apartment is paved and well lit by street lights during the night. The apartment is located in Mombasa; which is Kenya's second largest city with a large port and international airport. It is a very ancient and historic town, dating back to the 1500's. The first European to visit was Vasco da Gamma in the late 1400's. Evidence of Mombasa's rich history are scattered in and around the town with numerous ruins such as Old Town, Fort Jesus, Gede Ruins, Vasco da Gamma Pillar etc. Mombasa city is a pleasant place to visit if you want to go back in time and enjoy a history lesson from local tour guides/community members.
