A four star serviced apartment in Kilimani with its own kitchen, laundry and parking. It suits a family or a longer stay more than a short one, and you need a car or a shuttle for the centre.
01What it is
Caja Apartment A702 at Mango Court Wood Avenue Kilimani is listed as a four star apartment with a full kitchen: oven, microwave, refrigerator, washing machine and iron and board. The list covers the practical end well: free wifi, free car parking, lifts, 24H. Security, housekeeping and laundry service, plus non smoking rooms and a safe. Beds are covered with a cot, high chairs and a sofa bed for families, and the bathroom side runs to a bath, shower, WC, hairdryer, towels, toiletries and slippers. Breakfast is listed. The thin part is entertainment: a TV and a DVD player, and nothing on the list about a shared pool, a gym or a restaurant beyond breakfast, so do not expect a hotel campus around the flat.
What that adds up to is a self contained flat on a ridge in Kilimani, 2.81 km from Upper Hill and Community, which is the nearest of the ten quarters this site covers. You cook, you wash, you park, you come and go through security. Caja Apartment A702 at Mango Court Wood Avenue Kilimani suits a family, a relocating household or anyone in Nairobi for weeks rather than nights, and it suits a working visit to Upper Hill or Kilimani itself. It does not suit someone who wants to step out of a lobby into the middle of the centre: the street there is new concrete built for the car and the conference room, and after dark it is safe and dull, with hotel bars and a ride anywhere else.

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.
