![Where Might You Stay in Accra, Ghana

Note: Travel post-COVID-19 will look different, including the existence of Airbnbs. The following Airbnb is highly recommended, but whether this exact home will be listed in the future is unknown.

I might be biased but I suggest staying with a local. It’s one of the closest ways for you to immerse yourself in the culture and get to know the country from their perspective. [Save Post]
I found this Airbnb via @tstmkmrsAfrica as I was planning my trip. And, what a place it is.
Pictures don’t do it justice. You have to see it for yourself. But let me take you around the Airbnb, Cribs-Style. [Swipe for video]
One of my favorite parts of staying in this Airbnb is meeting the owner, Nana (not pictured). She’s like my Ghanaian Auntie, who made me feel comfortable immediately after my arrival. She also offered some assistance when my luggage was delayed (see previous IGTV episode).
I felt at home. I felt at ease. I felt at peace.
But, before you reserve a space with a local for your trip to Ghana, here are some things to know:
* The home might not be centrally located. Hire a driver or book an Uber to get to popular sites.
* Get the full address prior to your arrival, so you won’t be held up by immigration. Or, your Uber driver won’t get lost (i.e. 1234 Accra Street).
* If you want to be knee-deep in the action, this exact place might not be for you.
Which do you prefer? Staying with a local (Airbnb) or booking a hotel?
