Hi everyone, my name is Abdalla Timimi and I'm the proud owner of Shela Bliss, a unique and charming property in Lamu, Kenya. Lamu is a UNESCO World Heritage site known for its beautiful beaches, rich history, and vibrant culture. Our property is situated in a tranquil area, offering guests a peaceful escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life.

Shela Bliss features [insert unique features or amenities of your property], making it an ideal destination for travelers seeking relaxation and comfort. As a host, I'm passionate about providing exceptional experiences for my guests and am always looking for ways to improve and learn from others in the Airbnb community.

I'm excited to connect with you all and share our experiences as hosts!

Hi Abdalla. I saw your three listings. They are very nice places. I miss photos of the building from the outside, the garden, the surroundings, information about the location of the property, distance to the beach, access to shops. I suggest you expand the description, make a photo tour and check all the amenities and add them to the photos.

I wish you good luck, smiles and joy in hosting guests.

Hi Marcin,

Thank you for your feedback and suggestions! I appreciate your kind words about my listings.

Regarding the photos, I'll happily add some images of the building from the outside. However, since these are apartment listings, there aren't any gardens or outdoor areas to showcase [apart from the 2 terraces that I have shared].

As for access to shops, please note that the properties are in a unique area where the streets are small paths rather than traditional roads. While shops may not be immediately adjacent to the properties, they are still within a reasonable short walking distance.

I'll be sure to update the descriptions with more detailed information about the location and surrounding areas to give guests a clearer idea of what to expect.

Thank you again for your helpful input!

Best regards,
Abdalla Timimi
