A one bed apartment on Fedha Road in Greater Nairobi, listed as four star, with a kitchen, a fridge, a microwave, a television and free parking, and it suits self drivers who want a working base a long way out of the centre, not anyone planning to walk into town.
01What it is
Beautiful 1 Bed Apartment in Nairobi is listed as four star, and what it lists is mostly the practical side of a self catering flat: a kitchen with a microwave and refrigerator, a bathroom with a shower and WC, towels, a television, free wifi and internet access, free car parking, non smoking rooms and a smoke detector. There is no restaurant, no bar, no gym and no airport transfer on the list. The facilities here are the ones that make a flat work, and nothing beyond that, so read it as a self catering base rather than a serviced hotel.
For someone staying at Beautiful 1 Bed Apartment in Nairobi, that adds up to a base in Greater Nairobi rather than in the centre. You need a car, because Fedha Road sits 8.68 km from Kenyatta Avenue at Moi Avenue, which is 109 minutes on foot in a direct line, and the nearest of the ten quarters this site covers is 7.46 km from Muthurwa and the east markets. The street there is working produce trade, and after dark it is closed, dark and not a place to be, mornings only. Suits drivers, couples and longer stays that want a kitchen. Does not suit anyone without a car, or anyone who wants the centre on foot.

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.
