KANAPRIME-Studio Apartment

I had such a lovely stay at this Airbnb in Shanzu, Mombasa. The place was clean, well-kept, and had a really peaceful vibe. It’s exactly what I needed comfortable, secure, and beautifully set up. I especially appreciated the thoughtful touches and how everything was just as shown in the photos

Nothing

The security of the place was okay

The room was too small not specious enough

It was an awesome stay, just nxt to the road so access was easy. the staff was very accommodative. The room was clean and the host was very welcoming. She made sure my 2 day stay was very good and very enjoyable. She always reached out to ensure that i was comfortable. I highly recommend kanaprime studio apartments. Anytime am in shanzu now i got a place to be staying

They were waiting for me that was awesome

The apartment is very comfortable and compact, but it has absolutely everything you need for a comfortable stay, especially if you're traveling alone like I am. It is fully equipped with all the essentials, even the smallest things necessary for daily life. The kitchen has everything you need for cooking on a daily basis. There is a large inner courtyard, which also serves as a parking area. Everything is behind a fence, making it safe. There is always someone on-site to open the gate for you—just ring the bell. The place is quiet and pleasant. Sometimes, little monkeys drop by, and you can feed them fruit. There are delicious and affordable roadside cafés nearby. I had great meals there for several days—fish, beans, chapati—all for around 300 shillings. Just perfect. The beach is about a kilometer, maybe a kilometer and a half, away. It's a decent beach, though there’s some construction going on. I personally prefer wild, untouched beaches. To reach the nearest store, you need to walk about 500 meters to the main road and take a matatu to Mtwapa. There, you'll find Naivas and Quickmart, where you can buy groceries and cook at home. Everything is great! Thanks to the host—she is very caring and attentive. Overall, I highly recommend this place.

These apartments are a small extension built right next to the gate—right at the entrance. The first night, or maybe the first two nights, were not very comfortable because throughout the night, people kept knocking on the gate. Even though there is a doorbell, it’s not audible, and it’s unclear whether it even works. It might be a good idea to put up a sign asking people not to knock on the gate or shout, but instead to ring the bell or, as a last resort, call by phone. This would make things more peaceful for guests staying in these apartments, which are located right by the gate. All night long, people were banging on the gate. Cars were honking for an entire hour because someone couldn’t get inside. That was quite unpleasant. I think you should put up a sign: No honking, no knocking—please ring the bell or call.

It is very secure and comfortable

Roads to the place

Staff were helpful friendly and attentive

It is a very small apartment and the coffee table is so big that it makes it uncomfortable as it restricts movement and ease of access. The table had to be moved depending on whether you wanted to sit on the sofa or open and close the door

It was good

It is good

The location and the host. I got here late in the evening and my check in was smooth. The place is accessible and all amenities are within close range. The host is welcoming, gracious and warm. She is a call away for any inquiries or needs. I felt welcomed and I would recommend this place for anyone travelling to Mombasa. And I enjoyed my stay here.

Clean, comfy, affordable, the host was warm and welcoming , it's close to the beach ⛱️
