Highly enjoyable stay
We stayed for four weeks in January 2014. Our experience was mainly positive. It started upon arrival when we saw the bougainvilla paint the outside wall in purple flowers. The walled garden housed a variety of birds such as various types of doves, the splendid sunbird and the beautiful sunbird and two types of flycatchers. We even spotted a Klaas' Cuckoo and a woodpecker here once.
The rooms were spacious, the beds aren't perfect but no worse than an average hotel. We also enjoyed the spacious terrace, where we spent most of our time relaxing and had breakfast and dinner. Although the Senegambia Strip with its restaurants is only a short walk or taxi drive away we opted to cook our own food and very much enjoyed visiting the local shops and market for bread, vegetables, rice and other necessities.
It's Africa and power outage is to be expected. Fortunately, the Yellow Apartments has its own generator. While it does work, it makes a lot of noise, which can be a inconvenience if you occupy the unit next to it. Also, it helps to make Lamin aware of any issues that may arise. The local caretaker hardly speaks any English. One call to Lamin, however, and problems will be solved on short notice.
We very much enjoyed our stay and will be happy to return in the future.
