Smoking friendly vacation rentals in Stone Town

I booked Wayne's place for my family’s trip to Zanzibar, and it exceeded all our expectations. The host was incredibly responsive, helping us organize a pick-up from the port and regularly checking in to ensure everything was perfect. The house itself was immaculate, situated in a well-secured, quiet complex, and ideal for families. I highly recommend this place and would definitely book again."

I recently stayed at this lovely apartment near Stone Town, and it was an incredible experience! The location is perfect—close enough to explore the historic Stone Town but situated in a quiet and peaceful area, which made for a relaxing stay. The apartment itself was spacious, clean, and comfortable, with plenty of room to unwind after a day of exploring. It had everything I needed for a enjoyable trip. The host was absolutely wonderful! They were very responsive, friendly, and went out of their way to ensure I had a great stay. I would highly recommend this apartment to anyone visiting Zanzibar. The combination of a great location, spacious and comfortable accommodations, and an exceptional host made my stay unforgettable. I’ll definitely be returning in the future!

I recommend, it’s a very neat studio apartment in inside one of the best neighborhoods in Zanzibar

Asha’s place is located in the heart of Stone Town, a UNESCO World Heritage site, making it a perfect base for exploring Zanzibar’s rich history and culture. It’s an excellent budget-friendly option for travelers looking to stay close to all major attractions. The apartment is just a two-minute walk from key historical sites, including Tippu Tip’s House, the old slave chambers, the bustling port, and the famous night food market. The area is surrounded by numerous tourist shops and great restaurants, offering plenty of options for dining and shopping. While the central location is a major advantage, be aware that some noise from tourists and nearby market vendors—especially during late-night cleanups and storing —is unavoidable. However, this is beyond Asha’s control and is a small trade-off for such a prime location. Overall, I highly recommend Asha’s place for travelers who prioritize convenience and cultural immersion over absolute quiet. I would definitely stay here again

Thank you very much for bearing the early checkin and late check-out charges.

Great place, helpful host.

I had a fantastic one-day stay in this 2-bedroom apartment! It was clean, comfortable, and surprisingly spacious. The location was perfect for my needs, and I really appreciated having the extra room to relax. Highly recommend it for anyone needing a short-term rental!

Eva’s apartment is an a dream. You feel like you are in Arabian Nights. The many balconies, the rooftop, the muezzin’s beautiful call, the ocean view...it’s an architectural and cultural gem. Located just near the port. Don’t miss out!

We had a great stay at BT cottages. The staff were helpful whenever we needed something. Urah was so great and always available. The kitchen wasn’t fully stocked but Urah delivered whatever we requested for. I loved the fact that the place was peaceful and we had the pool to ourselves most of the time. I’ll definitely recommend and come back. Thank you.

We stayed at Eta's Airbnb last year and came back again because we liked it so much!!! The A/C in the bedrooms is great, I love the location, the decor and little extras are thoughtful and we love that the suite is on the main floor. The only downside this year was, the neighbours upstairs were louder than last year with a screaming toddler who was often up by 5:00 am. The master bedroom had windows facing the courtyard and it was very loud. I would still stay at this suite again though!!! Thanks Romain and Eta... see you next year!!!

We had e great stay at Mohammeds apartment with our family with 2 kids. It is a clean, cozy and comfortable oasis in the busy city. Sauda came to fetch us at the parkinglot and its a short walk form there. She warmly welcomed us.

This was a little slice of calm heaven. Would recommend 💯

Great host. The host deserves to to be ranked as a "Super Host". The host was more than accommodating, He went above and beyond. The home was spotless and right on the ocean, as described. The view was magnificent and breathtaking. We watched the cruise ships sail past the house. Fishermen who fished for crabs often stopped by, as we lounged on the veranda or in the pool, to offer us fresh crabs from the ocean. On arrival, the host provided tropical juices, wine, and water. This was one of the best Airbnb hosts I have encountered. Should I return to Zanzibar, I hope I am lucky enough to stay at the Ocean Bay Villa. I recommend this place to anyone planning a trip to Zanzibar.

I really enjoyed myself at the property very calm and peaceful place and big big thanks for the hosting whoever wanted to go to Zanzibar I recommend this place you will never regret it again big big thanks

Veronica was very kind. She welcomed our family into her home. We wanted a place close to the airport so fly out the next day. Driving into the neighborhood, we started to get a little worried. It's a few minutes down a dirt road. She was able to give our driver precise directions. Once we got behind the secured gate, we were amazed by the property. We hung up our wet beach clothes outside on the spacious patio and clothesline. The kitchen had all the amenities. A separate dining area, a sitting area with 3 couches and TV, 3 bedrooms(2 with en suite bathrooms then a 3rd bathroom). AC in every room which was a bonus for us coming from not having any for 3 days in Nungwi. Hot water in the baths/showers. I slept on the couch comfortably whilst others enjoyed their private rooms/beds. In the neighborhood, I felt safe enough to walk 10 min to a fruit stand and small grocery to make breakfast. The kids in the area were so sweet. We gave them treats and they were grateful!Thank you!

Very cute and private place. Highly recommend this stay. You have everything you need there and the little outside space is lovely. The area is also beautiful. Muqaddar is very happy to help wherever he can.

Great apartment to stay. The apartment was clean and it had everything we needed including washing machine to wash our clothes. The host was friendly and responsive. What I loved the most about the apartment is that its a great location.

The place is so nice and so center,it’s so easy to access all the important needs like restaurants,bars and beaches,we really enjoy it.

This house is definitely located in the best stone town spot. The beach, the port, the market is just 5 minutes' walk away. Very well maintained, impeccably clean, a very large living space with a permanent feeling of freshness coming from the hanging roof. Very surprising and so nice. Definitely the best place I've stayed in Stone town. A little note about Nicolas, a young French man of incredible kindness and availability. Thanks for everything Nicolas, see you soon.

We’d stay here again! Mohamed was extremely friendly and had stellar communication. He responded so quickly to all of our needs and was very attentive and kind. We also enjoyed the location, being in the heart of stone town where everything was in walking distance. The room is spacious and the house they live in feels very cozy and authentic, much nicer than being in a standard hotel room if you’re down to experience living as the locals do!

I liked the place and will either go back there again and even recommend to friends.

I stayed at the Monolo apartment for two weeks. The apartment was beyond my expectations. I felt like I was at home and had no trouble with getting around. Everything was to my standard and Abdulkarim made sure everything was accessible and had no trouble. The place was sparkling clean and everything was in working order. I had no troubles with electricity and water throughout my stay. Abdulkareem shared he’s Netflix account too which was very kind of him to do so. The WiFi was very fast and had good connection. The security system was top notch. I would recommend this apartment to anyone that’s looking for a clean, private and home away from home. The apartment was very affordable and worth the pay. Thank you Abdulkareem for the lovely experience. I would definitely love to stay at your apartment whenever I’ll be in Tanzania if you’ll have me 😊
