We had a fantastic stay. The house is spacious, totally private, and immediately felt like a home away from home. The host was quick to respond to everything we needed. A massive bonus was the huge tv setup, definitely a rare find that made movie nights perfect. Highly recommend!

Mayowa, a house that feels like home from the first evening is what we hope for, so this means a lot. We're glad the big screen made your movie nights, and that we could answer everything you needed quickly. Come back any time. — Nkeng · The Black Key Collection

Nkengs place was very comfortable and cozy, felt right at home. The home features nice relaxing elements to sit and have tea outside. The home even comes with free Netflix which is a plus to just relax with the loved ones. My favorite feature of the home was the entertainment center. Water pressure is good there plus it comes with private security. All in all the staff was extremely accommodating to our needs and has daily house cleaning. If you’re looking for professionalism team & a place to feel at home I would recommend!!

Darnell, thank you for such a warm review. We're glad Ikaze felt like home from the start, from tea on the patio to relaxed evenings with your loved ones in front of the big screen. The team takes real pride in caring for the house each day, and they will be delighted to read your words. We would love to welcome you back. — Nkeng · The Black Key Collection

Very comfortable place to stay in kigali. It’s in a very central location and short drives to the downtown business area, the convention center and Kimihurura. Kitchen is well equipped, great AC and comfortable beds. Would recommend staying here and will definitely stay again in the future.

Corey, it's good to hear the location worked so well for you. Being central in Kicukiro, with downtown, the Convention Centre and Kimihurura a short drive away, is one of Ikaze's quiet strengths. We're glad the kitchen, the air conditioning and the beds made the rest easy, and we look forward to your next stay. — Nkeng · The Black Key Collection

Thank you, Emeka, for taking the time to write. We're so glad your stay at Ikaze was a happy one, and we hope to see you again soon. — Nkeng · The Black Key Collection

An amazing stay from start to finish. The apartment is incredibly peaceful and truly feels like a home away from home. I honestly can’t imagine staying anywhere else whenever I’m in Kigali. The view from the master bedroom is beautiful, the kitchen is spacious and well equipped (it actually inspired me to cook more!), and the cinema setup is fantastic. You could easily spend the whole day indoors enjoying it. The security is excellent, so I always felt safe and comfortable. The host was very helpful, attentive, and quick to assist whenever needed, which made the experience even better. I only wish I could have stayed longer. I wouldn’t hesitate to book again and highly recommend this place to anyone visiting Kigali.

Tai, this is such a generous review. That Ikaze gave you a kitchen you wanted to cook in, cinema days indoors and a place where you always felt safe is everything we hoped for. Next time, we hope you can stay a little longer. — Nkeng · The Black Key Collection

Wonderful stay & amazing hospitality. I recently stayed with Nkeng while I was in Kigali, and I cannot recommend them enough! From the moment I arrived, I felt so welcome and well taken care of. They were incredibly kind, helpful, and went out of their way to make sure I was comfortable - giving great tips about the area, helping me get around, and making me feel right at home. The place was clean, safe, and exactly what I needed. It was such a relief to have such a wonderful host while traveling. If you're planning to visit Rwanda, staying here is the best choice. Thank you so much for everything - I truly appreciate your kindness and generosity!
