We chose Nicolò's home in Malé as our home base while we went hiking in the nearby mountains, and it was wonderful. We were able to cook well in the kitchen and had a cozy bed and living space to look forward to after a long day of hiking. The town itself is adorable and you get some really spectacular views as soon as you step out the front door.
Nicolò was very responsive to our messages and inquiries, and the check-in and check-out process was very flexible, which we really appreciated. Although Nicolò himself was not at the airbnb the weekend we stayed, his father was there and was also very kind and welcoming. Thanks again - we only wish we could have stayed longer! :)
