From time to time, Kenya continues to shine as a true beacon in the global tourism sector as a local Airbnb has earned its well-deserved place among the world's most sought-after accommodations.
In its latest edition, Travel Noire, an award-winning boutique travel company, ranked Nani's Ecotower located in Watamu among a list of 15 unique Airbnbs to reside worldwide.
The publisher heaped praises on the Airbnb - terming the place as a piece of art created by the celebrated glass artist Nani Croze.
