Furnished apartments and housing for rent in Matam, Conakry

Living in Matam: what to know before you sign

Matam sits in the Matam commune. The journey to Kaloum, where ministries, company head offices and part of the diplomatic community are concentrated, takes 15 to 30 minutes. That is the first trade-off: rents fall as you move away from the peninsula, and the daily commute grows.

A caveat specific to this district: Being next to Madina market brings the best (everything within reach) and the worst (heavy traffic): the decisive criterion here is vehicle access to the property.

• Landmarks: marché de Madina, Coleah, corniche sud, port de Conakry.
• Dominant property types: apartments, studios.
• Observed furnished rent: $465 to $1,628 per month.
• Commute to Kaloum: 15 to 30 minutes.

What we check on every property in Matam

In Conakry a furnished home is not judged on its decoration but on whether it keeps working when the grid does not. Before publishing, we check on site — and the last-verification date appears on every listing:

• the generator or the compound's backup supply, and whether it switches over automatically;
• the water reserve and its real capacity, not the advertised one;
• the internet connection actually available, tested on site;
• security guarding, access control and exterior lighting;
• air conditioning room by room, and the state of the electrics;
• the landlord's occupancy title, so that the lease is enforceable.

Renting in Matam for an organization or a company

Most of our tenants in Matam are UN agencies, international NGOs, diplomatic missions and mining or construction companies. We issue compliant quotes and invoices (TIN, VAT), accept bank transfer at 30 or 60 days by agreement, and handle VAT exemptions and purchase orders. Invoices can be issued in USD or EUR where your finance department requires it.

We can also pair the property with a chauffeur-driven vehicle — particularly in districts where the daily commute downtown is long.
