Elegant tasteful apartment nice touches like dressing table with mirror storage baskets. Matching mugs my favourite colour too lol Appreciated the water and milk left for me. Felt like i could live there. Lovely security staff felt safe as a lone traveller. I would certainly recommend this apartment to friends and definitely stay again . Hope to be there later on in the year. Beverley. X

Great place and great people. A decent trek to the main tourist drag but I think that's the idea. A local taxi should work out at no more than £0.30 just ask the guys how it works. Real friendly people too. Musa was a star

Wow! Such a beautiful home and setting- smart, clean, spacious. Communicating with Amelia prior to our arrival was easy and she was very accomodating. Buba and Ansum were excellent host support; Buba picked us up from the airport to take us to the house and was also helpful in getting us around and about whilst there, and Ansum, who lives on the site grounds was available 24/7 to asssist with any house queries. We felt super safe and secure at the property with both Buba and Ansum being extremely trustworthy and reilable. My family and I would have no hesitation in coming back to stay there and reccommend it as a perfect family holiday house where you will instantly feel at home. Thank you to all.

The apartment was splendid

This place is just amazing. Such a beautiful retreat from the hustle and bustle of life. The sounds of the ocean and birds help send you into a state of calm and happiness. The house if full of wonderful curiosities, the veranda offers a beach view on one side and a more 'tropical' vibe of birds and cicadas on the other; with the sound of the ocean in the background. Just a 2 minute walk through the grounds to the beach, and this itself is peaceful and generally free of sellers. Emilie has an established property which locals appear to respect so you don't get hassle. The meals there were delicious but for choice there are a couple of restaurants within 10 min walk along the beach; all serving lovely Gambian dishes as well as your normal pizza, chips etc. All food is caught, picked on the same day so as fresh as can be. The array of fishing boats on the beach is a sight not to miss and the sunsets are beautiful. This is quite possibly the best beach front accommodation in the country!

It was a beautiful apartment and we loved the views of lush greenery. We loved watching the sunrise and the natural light that flooded the kitchen. The view of the moon at night was also gorgeous. The apartment was very clean.

I have stayed for a long period in one studio and can say that it has been perfect for my time. Mostly because of Mr Babz and his family’s family warm hospitality and helpfulness. Communication has been excellent. Any small issues were quickly and conscientiously resolved and the compact accommodation is very clean and comfortable. Although the location is away from the centre of activities but close to the airport, if you want an authentic feel for Gambia in bright, modern accommodation, with laundry service and air conditioning, that is excellent value for money (there are many overpriced and poor quality vacation places close to the beaches), and with a very hospitable, communicative host and family, I really recommend a stay at Babz’s studios.

I had a lovely stay in Julia’s apartment. The location is absolutely superb, four or five minutes walk to the beach, and a minute from all the restaurants and bars in Senegambia . The apartment has a nice pool, and the complex feels very safe and secure. The apartment has two bedrooms and could comfortably accommodate a family of four. Finally, I would say a big thank you to Julia, she is a great host, kind and friendly
