Fitness-friendly holiday rentals in Southwest Region

I highly recommend this place that deserves more than 5 stars! Had a great 5-star stay. The host is always an accommodating sister. The space was spotless and cleaning is done regularly. The pool is almost private and nice . The gym is just a few meters away and easy to walk to. Once again, thank you for everything . Will be back again again for sure!!

The apartment is beautiful. What I call understated elegance. Sabine and her family are great hosts, very responsive, and attentive to details. It is as described, hot water, AC, Washing Machine, Internet, Cable all there as described. The personnel is warm and friendly. The neighborhood is calm. We were there for 24 days during the holiday season and there was only one really loud party, but we couldn't even hear it from inside the apartment. And by the way NOT ONE SINGLE POWER OUTAGE. Not once did we lose power. NOT ONE SINGLE WATER OUTAGE. Not once did we not have water. If you care about those kinda things, you will be in good hands. For those who like pools, there is a pool; it comes in very handy after a sweaty day in the Douala heat. Once a week, a cleaning crew came in to clean the apartment as well. That was pretty cool. They come in Tuesday or Thursday; you decide which day works for you, but you have to be on premise. They were very courteous and friendly. The location says Bonapriso, it's really New Bell, but fear not, the neighborhood is safe and there is 24 hours security on the premise. You won't even be able to tell. The good thing is you can also walk to any of the hot spots in Bonapriso. I did my grocery shopping at Casino, it's a 10 minute walk. There are a bunch of bars, cabarets, and clubs, and restaurants (Le Senat, Opium, Havana Room, XO...) in bonapriso, from the apartment, you're close to all of them, if you want to walk (I prefer to walk). When we were there, they were building a paved road, and as of January 13th they're still building that road. The apartments are a little walk away from the main street, which would be Rue Koloko or the next block over Rue Njo Njo, but we didn't have any issues walking there day or night. The only thing is, it is Douala and it is VERY VERY VERY HOT, so be prepared (I walked around with a towel because I sweat so much). At night there are a bunch of security guards there manning the different homes in the neighborhood, and during the day a bunch of construction workers are building the road. They were very friendly and even funny. Overall we had an amazing stay at T-residence. It is a place that I highly recommend and I'll probably stay at again when coming to Douala.

The service recieved was great and they respond very quickly to possible requests. Rooms are clean and outside of circumstances outside the owners control, the internet works quite well.

Sabine's place was as described in the photos. During my last stay in Tanzania, which I could not complete because the place I found via Airbnb was horrible, I developed a phobia for Airbnb. But since I have a little baby, I had to get back to Airbnb because only then can I find a private space with a kitchen and stuff. I'm glad I found Sabine's place to meet my expectations, and that is why I had to come back the second time. My advice to Airbnb is that when houseowners post photos, let them post with an extensive view of their surroundings. A times the inside look ok but the surrounding is nasty

We had a great time at Cyril's place. The apartment is as described, very clean and well-equipped. The location is ideal, close to amenities and transportation. Cyril was a very welcoming and responsive host, which made our stay even more enjoyable. We strongly recommend this listing and will gladly go back!
