Customer Travel Tip: let your hostel arrange a taxi driver!!! NEVER take a driver you don't feel comfortable with!
Liked: quite easy way to get a bus out of town. pretty close to the airport.
Disliked: too many ppl bothering you to buy stuff (as everywhere) but streets are terribly dirty and packed. Couldn't wait to get outta town into the much nicer places like Moshi for example.
