Staying in Douala in a furnished apartment in Logpom

Logpom, Bangos, Ndogbong: where is the apartment?

Both homes are in Logpom, in the Bangos area. Logpom belongs to the Douala 5th district, like Ndogbong, Kotto, Makepe and Bonamoussadi. It is a mostly residential part of the city, quieter than the centre.

Our office is in Ndogbong, near Pharmacie Ndogbong, not far away. That is handy: if you have a question during your stay, the team is not on the other side of town.

To Douala international airport, Akwa or Bonanjo, travel time depends above all on traffic. Douala has heavy congestion at rush hour, especially around the main junctions. Always allow extra time, particularly on the day of a flight.

Who is a furnished apartment for?

Our guests often have one of these plans:

• Visiting family: relatives coming for a wedding, a birth or a ceremony, who want to stay together without crowding a relative's home.
• Diaspora coming home: you are back for a few days or weeks and want your independence, with a kitchen to host.
• A work mission: a consultant, trainer or technician staying several nights who needs quiet and parking.
• Paperwork: administrative appointments, preparing to leave abroad, waiting for a document.

Apartment or studio: what is included

The home comes in two forms. The furnished apartment has 1 living room, 2 bedrooms, 2 showers, an equipped kitchen and a storeroom: it suits a family or a group. The furnished studio has 1 living room, 1 bedroom, 1 shower, a kitchen and a storeroom: it suits one person or a couple.

In both cases you will find:

• air conditioning and TV;
• an equipped kitchen: oven, fridge, microwave;
• a water heater;
• parking;
• CCTV cameras.

Our tips for a short stay in Douala

A few simple habits make a stay easier.

• Check the season. Douala is very humid and very rainy: the dry season runs roughly from December to February, and rain is very heavy from June to October. Bring an umbrella and suitable shoes.
• Allow extra time for your trips, especially in the morning and late afternoon, and on the day of your flight.
• Give the taxi or motorbike driver a well-known landmark: in Douala, people often navigate by pharmacies, junctions and schools rather than street names.
• Have a number reachable on WhatsApp: it is the easiest way to arrange the key handover and to reach you during your stay.
• Booking for a relative from abroad? Put their name and number in the request: we arrange the arrival directly with them.
• Shop when you arrive: with an equipped kitchen, you eat as you would at home, at your own pace.

Is your stay part of preparing a departure?

Many of our guests stay in Douala while preparing a trip: visa, biometrics, documents to have certified. Our agency also handles immigration files to Canada, France and Belgium. You can book an appointment during your stay, a few minutes from the apartment.
