Bliss haven gardens apartments is an apartment-style address on Laikipia Rd in Greater Nairobi, with kitchens, laundry and a garden, and it stands 2.64 km from Biashara Street and City Market, which is the nearest of the ten quarters this site covers. The deciding question is whether you want a self-contained base a short ride out of a daytime quarter.
01What it is
Bliss haven gardens apartments is a four star apartment property on Laikipia Rd in Greater Nairobi. The listed facilities run to self-contained living: apartments with a kitchen or kitchenette, oven, microwave, refrigerator, sink, washing machine, iron and board. Rooms come with air conditioning, a fan, carpeting, a desk, a balcony, patio or terrace, a sofa bed, cot and family rooms, plus a bathroom with shower, WC, bidet, hairdryer and toiletries. The list also covers breakfast, room service, a lounge, bars, a garden, picnic area, fitness center, spa, aerobics and yoga, free wifi, free car parking, lifts, 24H. Security, first aid and smoke detectors, dry cleaning, laundry and cleaning, express check in, a safe and wheelchair access. It is thin on nothing much except what a full-service hotel adds: no restaurant named, no business centre, no airport desk.
What that adds up to for someone staying at Bliss haven gardens apartments is a base you can run yourself. You cook or not, wash clothes, work at a desk, sit on a balcony, and the security, parking and lifts make coming and going simple. The spa, fitness center and garden suit a slower day. The trade is location: it sits in Greater Nairobi, 3.27 km from Kenyatta Avenue at Moi Avenue, which is 41 minutes on foot in a direct line, and the centre you would be visiting is a daytime quarter where the halls shut in the late afternoon and the streets empty with them. Suits longer stays, families, anyone with a car or willing to use the shuttle, public transport and express check in. Does not suit a visitor who wants the centre on the doorstep at night.

04Standing outside the ten quarters
These hotels sit outside the ten quarters of the centre this site covers. Biashara Street and City Market is only the nearest of the ten, and it is where you would be heading, not where you are sleeping. Take that as the shape of your stay: you are in the wider city, just outside the ten quarters, on the edge of the centre, and anything in the CBD means travelling in and out rather than stepping out of a lobby.
The quarter itself is the market one, 0.63 km from Kenyatta Avenue at Moi Avenue, which is 8 minutes on foot in a direct line. The oldest retail streets in the city: Biashara for cloth and haberdashery, Muindi Mbingu for flowers, and the 1930s City Market hall behind them for produce, curios and a fish counter. Jamia Mosque's three silver domes close the block. The streets are narrow, shaded, and the only part of the centre where the shops are still one-family wide. It suits kikoi and kitenge cloth, curios without the tour-bus markup, and an hour of architecture. It is a daytime quarter: the halls shut in the late afternoon and the streets empty with them, so plan the return before that.
