Pros:

Il proprietario é una persona fantastica, accogliente, disponibile e ti fa sentire a casa!
Appena arrivati alla sera ci ha invitati a partecipare alla Jam session di percussioni in terrazzo con lui ed i suoi amici. Molto bello!
Ci ha aiutati nell’organizzare la continuazione della vacanza dandoci suggerimenti riguardo mezzi di trasporto per raggiungere Ile de Saloum.
Colazione abbondante e molto buona, in terrazzo con vista sul quartiere Yoff.
Esperienza consigliatissima!

Absolutely reccomend
Pros:

Abdoul is the perfect host. His staff are wonderful. Everything is spotless. Breakfast on roof is exceptional. I also had dinner which was superb. Shrimp soup and grilled fresh fish with vegetables. There was a large bottle of water in the fridge it's a short walk to beach and lots to see there. Boys playing football and horses and carts.. Abdoul is super helpful. I so enjoyed my stay

Cons:

Pros:

El desayuno en la terraza (preciosa) que además tiene vistas al mar, sólo por eso merece la pena. El precio está bien. Lo único, es que no había sábanas ni agua caliente, pero con el calor de dakar se agradece la ducha fresquita... Y sobre todo lo que más me gustó fue el trato con el dueño que fue muy amable y atento en todo momento.

Cons:

El mobiliario que era demasiado antiguo
