Pangas not allowed in the room
[QUOTE=Neddy69;2418748]They should put warning labels on Kenyan women. Warning: "This woman can be detrimental to your health". That's why one of my rules is. NO live in girlfriend. And Pangas not allowed in the room. But they didn't find the murder weapon. Maybe she just used a gardening tool.

Where to stay in Mombasa?
Hi all,
I'm about to take my first trip to Africa in 6 weeks. I'll be in Kenya for 10 days (3 in Nairobi, 7 in Mombasa). I've done a lot of research so far, reading every post as far back as Feb 2017. There are definitely a lot of gems to be found in some of these posts. The only thing I haven't been able to settle on is a place to stay.
This is what I'm looking for in order of importance:
- Girl friendly of course, but also with the option of bringing 2 girls at same time.
- Inexpensive <4 k kes.
- Decent wi-fi.
- AC.
- Relatively safe area for day-time walking (will probably only be ubering at night).
- Good location; not too far from most of the action (15 min uber).
- Decent food options within walking distance.
I'm sure I probably won't find all of this in any one place, but I've narrowed it down between these 6 hotels / apartments:
- Cowrie shell.
- Jambo travelers.
- Kahama hotel.
- Merry villas.
- Prestige Leisure.
- Sai rock.
And of those 6, I'm leaning towards Cowrie Shell because it seems to check off all my boxes. What I also like about it is from what I understand, it's possible to avoid the walk of shame when bringing girls back. My one hesitation however, is that based on what I've read, the close vicinity can be pretty sketchy at night.
I probably can't go wrong with any of those options but I'd really appreciate any insight or additional info. Even though I RTFF, life happens, so I'm sure things might be a little different than they were before. I just want to make sure I'm choosing a good spot.
P.S. Where is the best place to exchange money? I read in a post way back about a guy named Mike, but I'm not sure if that's still current or not.
