    House of Joy is in a very quiet and good Area of Lilongwe. Joy is really helpful and picked me up at the bus station and made sure I have everything. She showed me how to get the Minibus to town, which wasn’t a problem at all.

    A very nice secure place to stay provided by super host Joy! She really looked after me, making sure I got to the ATM on my arrival to then sorting me out at the bus station for a transfer to Monkey Bay.
