Monthly Rentals in Benin

Thank you Amaffra for sharing your beautiful and peaceful place in Grand Popo. I had a wonderful one-week stay, being surrounded by farmers and fishermen villages. Waking up and going to bed with the sounds of the ocean. It is a simple yet beautiful small home. Thank you Ali, the security person on site 24/7. I will certainly return again.

I stayed at this place for over a month and would 100% recommend. The place is very small (it’s a studio) but very practical. The terrace was definitely a plus. The manager (Hospice) was very responsive to every and any concern. The neighbourhood felt very safe (I’m a young woman on a solo trip and this was very important to me). The cleaner who came once a week was very courteous and did a great job every time. Overall a great experience. For those who care, note that the studio is in the 4th floor (I didn’t mind at all because I love to exercise). There were some power outages during my stay but they didn’t last too long. I am currently staying at another one of Theo’s places, which is much bigger, and so far so great. Theo and his team truly know what they’re doing. I would definitely recommend!

This Airbnb fundamentally delivers, I felt safe and may return. For Americans considering, I would have a few notes. First though we say we want to discover places, I think often what we really want are places where at least one or two "Gringos" (to use Mexican parlance) have opened cute coffee shops and places more to our custom. This is not that neighborhood. That's fine, just disclosing. Second, I am not accustomed to thinking of how many MW of electricity I use. Benin is hot, it seems there's no insulation and I used around 3x the electricity granted to be comfortable (about $10 a day surcharge), plan accordingly. Third, though the host said power outages were rare, there were 3 short outages in my 10 day period and when there's no electricity, there's no water. Also fine (it's Africa), but disclosing in case you're working remotely and choosing between this and one of the big hotels. Quiet street, I slept well. Great host with long and prosperous career ahead.

Very nice place and they are very helpful i recommended them so a lovely place i will come back again
