Cozy apartment, 2 terraces, close to Virage beach.
Amazing place to stay. Close by to Virage beach and shops/ restaurants. The apartment is very spacious with two balconies. Check in was flexible and there was an onsite cleaner. The only down side I’d say is there is not a lot of natural light in the apartment.

Appart Yaye Saly
We had a lovely stay at El Hadj's. The description fits the space perfectly. I would recommend it.

Luxury and Comfort in the heart of Dakar
Wow! I would not hesitate to recommend this place to anyone. The pictures do not do this space justice! The apartment is clean and spacious. The interior has been carefully curated and we appreciated that as soon as we stepped into the apartment. The host was extremely responsive, going over and beyond to any requests. For my first trip to Dakar, this apartment really set the standard for me. Please do not hesitate to stay here. Thank you❤️

Cozy Apartment in Virage: Beach Nearby
One of the best apartments I’ve ever been in, spotless, very clean, wonderful decoration and easy to find. The area is safe and close to everything. I can’t wait to come back. The owner’s representative Baba is very responsive, helpful and attentive. They are very welcoming, I was given coffee, water and free electricity for few days. I deeply thank them. See you soon.

The Teranga Lébou
Many thanks to Alioune and Noël for their beautiful, friendly and cozy accommodation. We stayed with you for 2 nights and would have liked to have stayed longer. We will definitely come back and recommend your accommodation to many acquaintances and friends. Thanks very much, Abdoulaye & Nicole

Mini studio Bantu - elegant and central in Dakar

Cozy apartment Yoff Virage
Great stay at Fatimata's apartment, who was a great host. The accommodation is very nicely decorated, you feel really good there. It's comfortable and big enough. It is very well located. A big thank you to Fatimata for hosting us and for her kindness. In addition, she has always been responsive. Check-in is hassle-free with a lockbox. You can rent his apartment without a second thought, you won't regret it. Recommended +++
