A one-bed flat at Tassia on Outering Road that sleeps two, with parking, wifi and a kitchen. It is a self-catering base in greater Nairobi, and it fits you only if you are moving by car, in the morning, to a specific address. It is not a base for walking into the centre and it is not for evenings out.
01What it is
The 1 Bed Flat Sleeps 2 Parking Wifi is a three star flat at Tassia Est 11 on Outering Road, in greater Nairobi. The list is practical rather than generous: free wifi and internet access, free car parking, a kitchen with an oven, microwave and refrigerator, a bathroom with a shower and WC, towels, an iron and board, a TV, a balcony, and non smoking rooms. It is listed as wheelchair accessible, which you would want to confirm against the specific flat. Twelve photographs are on file. Beyond the kitchen and the parking, there is little here that is unusual, and no lift, no restaurant, no bar and no reception desk appear anywhere in the facilities list. You are renting a flat, not checking into a hotel, and the list should be read that way.
For the right visitor, that is the point. The 1 Bed Flat Sleeps 2 Parking Wifi suits someone with a car and a reason to be at Tassia or along Outering Road, who wants to cook, park free, and stay in one place rather than move between hotel bars. It is also workable for a longer stay where the washing machine of a serviced block is not needed and the quiet of a residential street is welcome. Where it fails is as a tourist base. Tassia is 8.23 km from Kenyatta Avenue at Moi Avenue, which is 103 minutes on foot in a direct line, and 7.01 km from Muthurwa and the east markets, which is the nearest of the ten quarters this site covers. You will not walk in and you will not walk home.

04Standing outside the ten quarters
These hotels are not in Muthurwa and the east markets, and they are not in any of the ten quarters of the centre this site covers. They sit a long way out, in the wider city, and Muthurwa and the east markets is only the nearest of the ten. That is the whole point of the distinction: you are sleeping outside the grid, and you will be travelling in and out for anything in the CBD.
The quarter itself is the eastern edge of the grid: wholesale produce, bus termini, before dawn. Trucks, handcarts and the entire city’s vegetables changing hands at 5am. It is the wholesale edge, where Muthurwa’s market and the country bus termini push up against the railway land, and it feeds the rest of the grid. Best for an early-morning market walk with someone who knows it. After dark it is closed, dark and not a place to be, and mornings are the only sensible time. Muthurwa sits 1.23 km from Kenyatta Avenue at Moi Avenue, which is 16 minutes on foot in a direct line, and that figure describes the quarter, not your journey from these hotels.

The flat suits a driver who wants a kitchen and free parking at Tassia more than it suits anyone relying on the centre on foot, so book it only once your transport is settled. Most rooms here can be cancelled free, and you book them through app.impt.io. Every confirmed booking removes one tonne of CO2, at no extra cost to you. Five percent of what you pay comes back as IMPT credit, out of the hotel commission rather than added to your bill.
