A one bed penthouse on Tamasha Bogani Road, out on the ridge in Karen in Greater Nairobi. What decides it is the car: with free parking and a kitchen of your own you are set, and without one you are relying on rides every time you want the centre.
01What it is
Charming 1 bed Penthouse in Karen Nairobi is a 3 star apartment on Tamasha Bogani Road in Greater Nairobi. The listed facilities are short and specific: free wifi and free car parking. Nothing else is on the record. No restaurant, no bar, no gym, no airport transfer, no meeting space. If you want a serviced hotel with things to do downstairs, this is not that: you are booking a self contained penthouse with a parking bay and a connection.
That list points to one kind of stay. Charming 1 bed Penthouse in Karen Nairobi suits a guest with a car, a longer stay, and business on the ridge or at a conference venue nearby. The street is new concrete on a ridge, built for the car and the conference room, so a vehicle is the normal way in and out. After dark it is safe and dull: hotel bars, and a ride anywhere else. If you want to walk out to dinner or into the centre, this is the wrong end of town.

04Standing outside the ten quarters
These hotels are not in Upper Hill and Community, 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 Upper Hill and Community is only the nearest of the ten quarters to them, which is not the same as being in it. Treat the quarter as a reference point, not an address. Anything you want in the CBD means travelling in and out.
The quarter itself is the western ridge above the centre: new concrete on a ridge, built for the car and the conference room. It is not the CBD proper but the ridge immediately above it, and the place most of the CBD's office space has been moving to since the 2000s: 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 lies 1.9 km from Kenyatta Avenue at Moi Avenue, which is 24 minutes on foot in a direct line.

06Questions
Where exactly is Charming 1 bed Penthouse in Karen Nairobi?+
The address is Tamasha Bogani Road, in Karen, in Greater Nairobi rather than the central business district. It sits 12.45 km from Kenyatta Avenue at Moi Avenue, which is 156 minutes on foot in a direct line, and 10.55 km from Upper Hill and Community, which is the nearest of the ten quarters this site covers.
What facilities are listed at the penthouse?+
Two: free wifi and free car parking. It is a 3 star one bed penthouse, so expect a self contained apartment rather than a hotel with a restaurant, a bar or a gym. The parking is the facility that matters most here, because the street is built for the car.
Can I stay here without a car?+
It is possible but awkward. Karen is a low density ridge, and after dark the description is hotel bars, and a ride anywhere else. Nothing in the listed facilities covers transport, so without your own vehicle you would be arranging lifts for every trip out of the apartment.
How do I check availability and reserve?+
Book through app.impt.io. Most rooms here can be cancelled free, and the booking terms are shown there along with what is open on your dates. The site takes no prices; you confirm the details before you commit, and the carbon and credit benefits apply to every confirmed booking.
