I spent two months at Joe's place and had a great stay. The apartment has two big terraces with nice views and a kitchen with all the basics you need to self-cater. It's located in a perfect spot if you're looking for peace and quiet. It's a 10-minute walk into the village of Qala or down to the beach at Hondoq Bay. I didn't get to meet Joe, as he lives on the other island, but he checked in regularly by phone or email to make sure I had everything I needed. And Stella, a local woman who takes care of the place, stopped by regularly to bring fresh sheets and answer my questions. Highly recommended.
