Welcome to Maputo 4

This is a detached, modern and comfortable space at the back of my garden, with a front yard and surrounded by many plants and flowers. This is a private compact studio containing a all in one bedroom, living and working space, brand new kitchenette and a bathroom. It opens to a small courtyard with a small table and chairs, where guests can relax. We are located in a very quiet neighborhood. Early mornings and at the sunset time, we can listen to the birds and forget that we are located in a very busy city. This space is part of a property but it is completely independent. The entrance to the studio is private. There is a parking spot, automatic gate for vehicles, security, cleaning and laundry. We are across the street of a Clinic, 15 minutes driving from the airport and not even 5 minutes driving from the beach. Supermarkets and restaurants are at a very close walking distance. Chapas (our buses) are 3 minutes away from our place. A taxi stand is 3 minutes away from our gate. Guests have access to the entire studio, their small courtyard and the parking spot. I am always available for my guests if they need any information or anything. It is always a pleasure for me to interact with people but I like to give guests the privacy they deserve. If my guests need to talk to me, they just need to send me a text message or use the social network to contact me. This studio is located in a very quiet and considered safe neighborhood. This space is very close to the public university (UEM), USA Embassy, World Bank office, United Nations (PNUD, PMA, UNICEF), several other embassies and international offices. Guests can walk easily to the most attractive places in town. We recommend that guests do not go around with valuables and call a taxi after the sunset. There are many chapas (our local buses) and a taxi stand at 3 minutes walking from our gate. It is also very safe to walk around in the neighborhood and in the city in general.
