Guesthouse in Gisenyi

Guest house for vacation

A small, charming house with a cozy garden and a flowery veranda. It has two bedrooms, each with very large and comfortable beds. The place is clean, and a helpful security guard is available. There is hot water, and the kitchen is equipped with essentials such as a microwave, fridge, kettle, gas stove, and more. Conveniently located close to the city center and the market, yet nestled in a quiet residential area. I highly recommend it.
