The host responded to my message quickly when I told him it was urgent. He both called me and messaged me. His responsiveness was nice. Also, he wasn't available to meet me at the time I arrived, but he had someone there for the few-hour time period in which I thought I would arrive. That was also nice. Unfortunately, I did not end up staying here because it was presented as an "entire home/apt" when it was in fact a "private room" within a home (there were 2 or 3 others staying there, at least). However, the room was simple and clean, with sheets and towels. The bathroom and kitchen seemed fine. And there was a key to lock the bedroom door. So it felt nice enough. When I asked for a refund, the gentleman accepted without contesting me. This was also very nice. The location in Sinkor was pretty central (and right by a supermarket -- "Exclusive"), but I can't comment on safety/ease of access to beaches or activities/actual living experience since I was there for such a short time. From what I saw, and the owner's respectable behavior, it deserved 4 stars.

Great host! Flat is nice and central. Would definitely recommend.

The place-- great and secure ! I stayed there for 10 weeks and it felt like home. Plus i met amazing people who also live there. Will definitely come again! Already miss adorable host's dogs!

This place is great for longer term stays in Liberia. The host is really friendly and always a phone call away for any needs. Location is fab and easy to get about. Would recommend!

This was a great place to stay! The home is very comfortable with very friendly staff who are always happy to help. The host is also incredibly helpful and went above and beyond to make me feel welcome during my first days in Monrovia. The home is located in a safe and quiet area. It is easy to find public transit (shared taxis and moto taxis) and easy to travel downtown.

I had a wonderful stay and even extended one day. The room is nice and clean with a comfortable bed, the location is great, and the host was always very helpful. Definitely recommend!

The house is in a great location, close to lots of restaurants and bars and a short taxi ride to downtown. The house is clean and the other (SENSITIVE CONTENTS HIDDEN) were very friendly. Menekeni is a really good host - helpful and knowledgable. He picked me up from downtown when I arrived and was flexible with dates when I wanted to leave Monrovia for a few days.

Great place to stay in Monrovia. Central, comfortable, and reasonable if you have a big group.

Great location, great place, and Rashaad is easy to reach if you need anything.

Maureen is a wonderful host. You probably will not find any host to be more communicative, accommodating, and helpful. She went above and beyond to make the whole experience very positive. I was also very pleased with Nora, her maid, who took very good care of me. She, too, went above and beyond my expectations. For me, the location was great. I did not want to be right downtown but I also did not want to be out in the boonies. Her guest house is not far from the downtown area, but far enough away to have a community feel. there is only a small dirt road in the wall between Muriel's Place and the French Embassy. of course, the French Embassy has guards out in the front, on the "Old Road" which probably adds to security even at Maureen's guest house. Maureen has contacts for private taxi service and is willing to be helpful in any way possible. The accommodations were taken care of well. It was especially nice to have air conditioning and hot water again, after having spent much time in Africa without either of those two conveniences. The bed was comfortable and there was a built-in closet. There is even a microwave in the kitchen, something you do not see too much in Africa. You will pay almost double the price to get a place downtown, but I doubt that you will find a place that is worth paying double for when you can stay at Maureen's guest house. [BTW: The place is called Muriel's Place because it is named after her Aunt Muriel, although the owner is named Maureen.] I trust that you will have as positive an experience at Muriel's Place as I had.

Our stay was wonderful at Muriel's Place with Maureen. Maureen is super accommodating and the apartment is beautiful and clean. Its so affordable, and conveniently located! I would stay here anytime.

Maureen's place is a perfect home away from home in Monrovia. I would recommend it to everyone, really easy to get in and out of town and Maureen and her family couldn't have been more welcoming. The service was amazing with lots of perfect finishing touches to make you feel comfortable! I'll definitely be back! Thanks Maureen :-) x

After being away from Liberia for many years, I was very concern about going home, but from the time I booked and call Maureen to confirm, she was extremely gracious. When I got there, she made me feel right at home and like a member of the family. She and her attendants were very responsive, friendly and charming. The apartment was clean, comfortable and very relaxing…and I which I could have stay longer. I would highly recommend Maurell’s place to anyone looking for a charming spot in Monrovia to stay. Thank you Maureen for making my stay enjoyable and relaxing…even in the rain. Angeline

Lisa is a fantastic hostess and a lot of fun to be around! She kindly provided breakfast, had my clothes washed and cooked for me on several occasions. The house is in a lovely quiet part of town just next to a beautiful, secluded beach. However, I would not recommend the house for light sleepers - a nearby shop plays loud music until midnight every night.

The host couple are just fantastic. It is such a nice place to stay in. Downtown Monrovia and Sinkor are empty at night. Congo town is not at all like that but rather a village in the city. Perfect. Water and electricity working throughout my stay (that is rare in Monrovia). Lisa keeps the house extremely clean. It is also great to live in a compound with pleasant neighbors. Lisa told me it could be noisy, but compared to many other places in this city it is pleasantly calm. I very much recommend this place.

Lisa's place was absolutely perfect for my three-day stay in Monrovia. I could easily travel to the city center by taxi (for about 50 cents) at any time, safety is not a problem and Lisa has been a wonderful host all along! Will certainly come back next time, hopefully with more time!

I am so happy to have stayed with Lisa, she is a very Nice and sweet hostess who makes you to feel like home immediately. Thanks again for the nice time together, and hope to visit you back soon :-) Greeting Geert

Lisa and her husband Matthew are a nice, generous couple. Their house is very cute and cozy and they have lots of friendly neighbors, dogs and cats around the house to keep you company. Be mindful of the noisy bar a little far off in front of the house. It plays loud music at all hours of the day and can be very draining if you like lots of quiet. This listing is best for deep sleepers, extroverts and animal lovers.

Lisas lille hus i Congo Town udenfor Liberias hovedstad er hyggelig, hjemmelig og ligger i et lokalt naturskønt område med stranden 200 m væk. Jeg har nydt mit ophold hos Lisa, som er en omsorgsfuld og hjælpsom vært. Huset er også hjem for tre skønne hunde, som er godt selskab, når Lisa er på arbejde. Indkøbsmuligheder af mere vestlig karakter ligger ca. 10 minutters gang fra huset og derudover er der små lokale frugtboder i området.

Lisa and Matthew are a great couple. Loved staying there, despite the power cuts, water turned off (what's new in Africa? ha ha!). The warm welcome and Lisa and Matthew's wonderful hospitality far outweigh these inconveniences, which are temporary and beyond their control. Idyllic spot very near to a beautiful lagoon and beach, where you can walk for several kilometres and great swimming. Love it and will return.

Simply an awesome person! A 5-star host!

Great choice for a stay in Monrovia. Menekenu is an excellent and friendly host, and the apartment is spacious and well equipped. Walkable into Sinkor and very close to a good supermarket.

Great location, 3rd floor views of the ocean, two minutes from a great swimming beach, often has an ocean breeze to keep things cool, and now only a two minute walk to Monrovia's newest supermarket! Place is safe, secure, and guarded. Host was proactive in taking care of any problems that came up (e.g. he keeps the generator fueled and maintained in case the LEC goes out, as it often does). And he has a cleaner who is nice and friendly and comes most weekdays.

I had a great and comfortable stay at Menekeni's house in Monrovia, the location makes it easy to access from Tubman Boulevard and there is a large supermarket less than 5 mins walk from the place. Host was welcoming and available.

very helpfull host, and i like to stay there for my next time in town.. thanks ...

Joe's is the perfect place to stay as a single traveler as there's always someone around to hang with and still there's room for you just being you. It's cosy, safe and clean and 200m from the ocean. Joe and his staff is always ready to help if you need it and there's always an excuse to enjoy a drink or a barbecue together. Lovely place!

The guesthouse was perfectly suited to our needs and very conveniently located. We had interesting and engaging housemates that we quickly became friends with and Joe and his staff were graciously accommodating to anything we needed. We will stay here again when we return.

Joe is a great guy and very trustworthy. Bishop who also work here is also a great guy. Congo Town is like a small village in the city and people are around in afternoon and the evening so it is easy to meet new friends. Idyllic spot very near to a beautiful lagoon and beach, where you can walk for several kilometers and great swimming. Power cuts happens but they just put on the generator so it is not really a problem. WiFi works good and the mobile network has good coverage. Included in the price is laundry and ironing, you only pay for the powder. Security wise the place is very good with bricked walls around the area. On top of the walls there are glass splinters and barbed wire. Parking I safely done inside the walls. Warmly recommended.

Safe place - Joe is a great host!

My husband, son, and I all occupied one room/one bed comfortably for one week. There is plenty of storage space. The kitchen is fully-equipped, there is a washer/dryer, and there is AC and wi-fi. The yard is large and contains a basketball court and ping pong table. The guesthouse is close to the beach and major intersections. The neighborhood is quiet. There are a lot of street food and restaurant options nearby. The yard is secure/gated. Everything you could ever need is here, and at a great value as well! I will definitely come back in the future.

This house has everything that you need to be comfortable (and safe). The kitchen is fully-equipped, there is AC and wi-fi, and the beds are actually comfortable. There is plenty of storage space in the rooms as well. The yard is fenced/gated and there are two security personnel. The location is great, being on a quiet road near the beach, but also close to main junctions. You will not find a better value anywhere else in Monrovia. I loved staying here and will be back again.

Arnold and his family were incredible hosts. They were extremely helpful and very responsive whenever any minor issues emerged. The room was large and comfortable, and I was provided with my own wifi. An unexpected bonus was the food. Every morning I was able to enjoy a hearty breakfast (omelette, fresh fruit, bread, tea, coffee, water and juice) and, on request, dinner. I can't recommend Arnold's place more highly for anyone visiting Monrovia.

Annette was an extremely gracious host who went out of her way to make my stay in Monrovia as enjoyable as possible. When I mentioned it would be nice to have a/c in my room, she brought me one. When I needed more gigs of internet, she helped me load the cards. And when I couldn't find a reliable taxi to pick me up at night, she came and picked me up- twice! Overall, Annette helped me have a productive, enjoyable time in Liberia and I would highly recommend anyone else looking for a cheap and cheerful place to stay with her.

Annette was a fantastic host, easy and fast communication. Everything is very clean and Annette went out of her way to make me comfortable. The Mango juice that she provided at breakfast was also one of the highlights of my day.

Dear Annette: thank you for being constantly available for all my request. You made me feel very comfortable at your place. I think your place was great and made me feel a little bit as a local. This is something I usually miss whenever I go to one of those international hotels in African capitals. Good luck, Manuel

Jeg havde et skønt værelse med masser af plads og med udsigt over byen...meget rent og med sikkerhed 24/7, kan virkeligt anbefale stedet.

This place is great! Annette is a fantastic host who makes things easy for a first-time traveler in Liberia. Miss Emily's is located in the heart of Monrovia with easy access to the bustling streets of the city. At the same time, the safe accommodations provide some separation and comfort. Annette kindly does everything possible to arrange any transport you might need (including rides to and from the airport). She and her staff are incredibly knowledgeable about the city/country. This place is definitely your best bet if you want to avoid the pricey/secluded hotels in Sinkor while also wanting some additional amenities not offered by some of the budget hotels. 24-hour electricity, breakfast, safety, and a warm, welcoming host really make Miss Emily's the place to stay in Monrovia. Highly recommend!

Unser Besuch bei Annette war super. Sie und Ihr Mann Ibrahim waren äußerst hilfsbereit und konnten uns viel helfen. Die Zimmer sind einfach eingerichtet, werden aber gerade renoviert. Wir haben uns wohl gefühlt, beim nächsten Besuch sicher wieder zu Annette :-)
