A four star serviced apartment on Donholm Harambee Sacco B Street, in Greater Nairobi rather than the centre. The kitchen, the washing machine and the parking decide it: this is for people who want to cook and come and go by car, not for anyone who wants the Central Business District on foot.
01What it is
Cherry home lists the practical set a longer stay needs: air conditioning, a kitchen and kitchenette, a refrigerator, a washing machine, an iron and board, a desk, free wifi and internet access, a safe, and a TV. There is a bath, a shower, a separate WC, toiletries, a hairdryer and slippers, plus a cot for a child. Outside there is a balcony and a terrace, free car parking and parking, and pets are allowed. The list gets thinner on the leisure side: bars, bowling and a golf course are named as facilities, but nothing on file confirms how close any of them are, and there is no restaurant, gym or airport transfer.
For someone staying at Cherry home, that list adds up to a self-contained flat rather than a hotel with services attached. You can cook, wash clothes, work at a desk and park a car. The setting is Donholm, in Greater Nairobi, 8.37 km from Kenyatta Avenue at Moi Avenue, which is 105 minutes on foot in a direct line, and 7.14 km from Muthurwa and the east markets, which is the nearest of the ten quarters this site covers. The street there is trucks, handcarts and the entire city’s vegetables changing hands at 5am, and after dark it is closed, dark and not a place to be, mornings only. Cherry home suits a self-catering stay with a vehicle and daylight hours. It does not suit anyone who wants the centre on foot, or a low-key evening outside.

04Standing outside the ten quarters
These hotels are not in Muthurwa and the east markets, 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 Muthurwa and the east markets is only the nearest of the ten. That is the whole point of the distinction: you are sleeping outside the grid, and you will be travelling in and out for anything in the CBD.
The quarter itself is the eastern edge of the grid: wholesale produce, bus termini, before dawn. Trucks, handcarts and the entire city’s vegetables changing hands at 5am. It is the wholesale edge, where Muthurwa’s market and the country bus termini push up against the railway land, and it feeds the rest of the grid. Best for an early-morning market walk with someone who knows it. After dark it is closed, dark and not a place to be, and mornings are the only sensible time. Muthurwa sits 1.23 km from Kenyatta Avenue at Moi Avenue, which is 16 minutes on foot in a direct line, and that figure describes the quarter, not your journey from these hotels.

Cherry home is a serviced apartment rather than a staffed hotel, so book it as a whole unit and check the dates against the morning-only character of the street before you commit. Most rooms here can be cancelled free, and you book them through app.impt.io. Every confirmed booking removes one tonne of CO2, at no extra cost to you. Five percent of what you pay comes back as IMPT credit, out of the hotel commission rather than added to your bill.
Facts on this page come from the booking supplier's record: star class, address, photographs and facility list. Guest scores come from verified stays. Nobody from this site has stayed here; the quarter copy around it is this site's own.
