A three star two-bedroom apartment on Argwings Kodhek Road, in the new concrete on the ridge above the centre. The list holds two things, free wifi and free parking, and what decides your stay is whether you have a car and business on this side of town.
01What it is
Beautiful 2 bed Apartment in Nairobi is a three star apartment rather than a hotel, and its listed facilities come to exactly two: free wifi and free car parking. For a two-bedroom place that is a thin list, and you should treat it as one. Nothing is listed for cooking, laundry or air conditioning, nothing for a lift, a gym or a restaurant, nothing for a front desk. What is listed is the pair that matters most to a driver: a connection, and somewhere to leave the car.
What that adds up to is a self-contained flat in Greater Nairobi, on a road built around the car rather than the pedestrian. Beautiful 2 bed Apartment in Nairobi suits a small group or a family with their own vehicle, in town for business on this ridge and treating the apartment as a base rather than a serviced stay. It does not suit anyone without a car, anyone wanting meals or a bar downstairs, or anyone who wants the centre on foot.

04Standing outside the ten quarters
These hotels are not in Upper Hill and Community, and they are not in any of the ten quarters this site covers. They sit just outside the ten quarters, on the edge of the centre, and Upper Hill and Community is only the nearest of the ten. That puts you in the wider city rather than in the grid itself, so anything in the CBD means travelling in and out rather than stepping out of a lobby into it.
The ridge above the centre is new concrete, built for the car and the conference room: the tallest towers in the country, the big hospitals, the aid agencies, and an expressway ramp to the airport. It is best for meetings, a quiet night close in, and a fast run to the airport, and after dark it is safe and dull, hotel bars, and a ride anywhere else. The quarter sits 1.9 km from Kenyatta Avenue at Moi Avenue, which is 24 minutes on foot in a direct line, though that is the quarter's own distance and not a walk from these hotels.

06Questions
Where is this apartment?+
It sits on Argwings Kodhek Road in Greater Nairobi, on the ridge of new concrete above the centre. It is 3.99 km from Kenyatta Avenue at Moi Avenue, which is 50 minutes on foot in a direct line. If you are driving, the address is the easy part.
What does the apartment list?+
Two things: free wifi and free car parking. It is a two-bedroom, three star apartment, so you get a flat rather than a hotel room, but the facilities list stops there. Cooking equipment, laundry, air conditioning and a restaurant are not listed, and there is no front desk.
Do I need a car to stay here?+
Yes, in practice. The street is built for the car and the conference room, and after dark it is safe and dull, with hotel bars and a ride anywhere else. Free parking is listed, so a car is clearly the intended way in and out.
How do I check availability for the two-bedroom apartment?+
Check dates against the apartment on app.impt.io, where availability and free cancellation are shown for each room. The listing holds no guest score, so judge it on the two facilities and the Argwings Kodhek Road address before you commit to a stay.
