It was a really familiar and pleasant place to stay in Accra. I made an internship at the KorleBu hospital in Accra. When I finished my internship at the hospital and arrived this place (mostly by trotro) and I felt like home every day.
Apartement:
Kitchen, Bedroom with study desk, bathroom and terrace
I cooked regularly and enjoyed the meal and breakfast on the terrace.
Garden:
The garden is a fantastic place to relax from busy Accra. You have a green area with palm trees and a hammock, where you can read a book or make a nap
Hosts:
When you need some suggestions what to do in your free time or anything else, you will find a sympathetic ear. Furthermore, Birgit is a really good chef, who serves delicious dishes, which you can dine under a big almond tree.
How do I book?
Contact the host to check their availability and ask them any questions you have about staying with them. Once the host confirms they’re available for your dates, you can complete your booking.
When do I pay?
Once a host confirms they're available, you can go ahead and pay the 15% booking fee (maximum of 250 $£€ for longer term bookings) using a choice of payment methods: Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Maestro, Laser, JCB & PayPal (not available in certain countries). 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. Our hosts have been advised that if they wish to request advance payment they must make this explicit in their profile. We do not recommend the use of Money gram or Western Union.
When can I share my contact details?
