Caribbean Homes By Edmor Suites is a four star serviced apartment block on Riverside Drive, on the western edge of the centre. It suits people staying several nights who want a kitchen, laundry and parking, and who accept that the surrounding streets are quiet once the working day ends.
01What it is
Caribbean Homes By Edmor Suites is a four star apartment property, and its list leans practical rather than decorative. You get a kitchen with a microwave, oven and refrigerator, a washing machine, an iron and board, towels and toiletries, so a longer stay does not depend on eating out or sending laundry away. There is free wifi, free car parking, a fitness centre, and round the clock security with smoke detectors and a safe. Its commercial side is thin and odd: an ATM, a market, a barber and beauty salon, bars and a smoking area. The list is sorted into single words, so nothing tells you how any of it is arranged or how close it sits to the room.
For someone staying a stretch rather than a night, Caribbean Homes By Edmor Suites covers the things that otherwise eat a trip: food you cook yourself, clothes you wash, a car you can leave parked, and a front desk that runs around the clock. It is less useful if you want the Central Business District on your doorstep, because you are out on Riverside Drive and the quarter shuts in the late afternoon. The property does not suit a short city break built around the centre, and it does not suit anyone who needs restaurants and bars within a few steps in the evening. It suits a working stay or a slow one with a car.

04Standing outside the ten quarters
Before you book, be clear about where these hotels are. They sit well outside the centre, in the inner suburbs, and they are not in any of the ten quarters this site covers. Biashara Street and City Market is only the nearest of those quarters, which is not the same as being in it. You are in the wider city here, and every trip into the Central Business District is a journey in and out.
The market quarter itself is narrow, shaded, and the only part of the centre where the shops are still one-family wide. 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. It is best for kikoi and kitenge cloth, curios without the tour-bus markup, and an hour of architecture. After dark it is a daytime quarter: the halls shut in the late afternoon and the streets empty with them. It lies 0.63 km from Kenyatta Avenue at Moi Avenue, which is 8 minutes on foot in a direct line.

06Questions
Where exactly is Caribbean Homes By Edmor Suites?+
It is on Riverside Drive in Nairobi, within Greater Nairobi rather than inside the Central Business District. It stands 3.08 km from Biashara Street and City Market, which is the nearest of the ten quarters this site covers. That puts you on the western side of the centre, away from the shops and offices.
Does the property work for a long stay?+
The list is built for it. Caribbean Homes By Edmor Suites gives you a kitchen with a microwave, oven and refrigerator, a washing machine, an iron and board, housekeeping and laundry service. Add free wifi and free parking and you can settle in rather than live out of a bag. The facilities list is only names, so ask what is in your specific unit.
What is the area around Riverside Drive like?+
The wider quarter here is narrow and shaded, and it is the only part of the centre where the shops are still one-family wide. It is a daytime quarter: the halls shut in the late afternoon and the streets empty with them. Staying on Riverside Drive therefore means planning your evenings, not stepping out of the door into them.
