**Perfect Location**
We are just 4 minutes from Texas Tech, local hospitals, shopping, and dining. For a memorable night out, we recommend Vizo’s African Bar, just a short drive away, for an authentic 5-star African dining experience.

**Unwind in Style**
After a long day of exploring, cozy up in front of the fireplace or soak in the hot tub. Our African-inspired decor, featuring art from Botswana and Cape Town, will transport you to another world. For entertainment, enjoy a selection of African films like *Lionheart* or *The Boy Who Harnessed the Wind* on our Roku TV.

Take a safari tour at the Texas Tech Museum, zipline at Adventure Park, or catch *The Lion King* musical at Buddy Holly Hall. Prefer a quieter evening? Unwind with a glass of wine in our shared backyard hot tub while you stargaze.

**Comfort and Convenience**
Our space accommodates up to 3 guests with a king-sized bed and a twin pullout. Long-term guests are always welcome, with ample storage, a dresser, and a closet to make you feel at home. Enjoy our private front door access and a dedicated parking spot, with the option to explore the shared hot tub area in the backyard.

**Clean and Safe**
We adhere to strict CDC cleaning guidelines, so you can enjoy a safe and spotless stay.

Guests share the front patio with another apartment, but the patio seating is yours to enjoy. A single space, off-street parking is reserved for you on a large concrete drive in the front of the house and is one space, the other is for another guest unit.

The community fee represents a 7% hotel tax required by the city of lubbock and any guest whether in a hotel or vacation rental is required to pay. Vrbo submits a 5% state of texas tax directly, which is the tax fee.

**Triplex Setup**
Our home is part of a triplex, offering three private units with separate entrances, kitchens, and bathrooms. The only shared area is the hot tub, which is located behind the garage and accessible through by walking on sidewalk and around the garage. For your comfort, we've soundproofed the rooms, but some noise may still be heard. Each bedroom is equipped with white noise machines to ensure peaceful sleep.

Pack your bags and escape to a little taste of Africa, right here in Lubbock. We can't wait to host you for an unforgettable experience!

The triplex was awesome. No issues with that, however we stayed in the only one that we had to walk down an alley for hot tub access. Not ideal for single women. The neighborhood is also not the best I had to call the cops on a disturbance in the street in front of us.
