Ahouefa, by Kër Yawa
Exactly as advertised, yet so much more. A beautiful space with beautiful people and excellent hospitality. There is an element of African craftsmanship in the execution of the interior design that vibrates heritage as well as the new age we are entering. Same goes with the atmosphere and the social connectivity. Book this airbnb. You will be happy you did.

Perfect Place - Bliss Bay 1
It was fantastic, the place, the welcome and what a welcome! a special mention to Jean and Ludovic for their responsiveness and good humor. The manager helped me manage my arrival despite the work. The comfort of the apartment worthy of a very nice hotel: comfortable bedding, kitchen. Very nice neighborhood.

We had a great time at Florence's apartment. The apartment is close to several places of interest in Cotonou. The neighborhood is quiet. Spacious and very well equipped apartment. Florence and her staff were available throughout our stay. The pool is a real ++++ Thanks again for inviting Noah to the kids' birthday... Élodie,

Le Saphir Apartment
Very good stay! Listing as described. Kevin is really a great host, responsive and with good tips, available for the slightest problems or for information. I spent a month in the apartment and it went well. Sometimes a little noisy and a little far from the city center but overall very pleasant stay

Great apartment in downtown Cotonou
I had a fantastic stay with Yanos in Cotonou, Carrefour Saint Michel! The apartment was spotless and very comfortable, perfectly located to explore the city. Yanos was an exceptional host, very welcoming and available to answer my questions. I would highly recommend this place for a stay in Cotonou and hope to have the opportunity to return soon! Once again, thank you for everything, Yanos!
