This is a residential apartment block on a Kileleshwa ridge, well outside the Central Business District, that carries a long list of facilities and only a three star label. The thing that decides it is the car: without one, you are relying on rides to reach the centre and anywhere else.
01What it is
Comfort Living Apartment lists a lot, and most of it is aimed at people staying more than a night or two. There is a kitchen and kitchenette with an oven and toaster, a washing machine, a safe, a TV and telephone, a balcony and terrace, lifts, free car parking and 24 hour security. For leisure it names a garden, a child play area, a gym, a rooftop football pitch, a coffee house, a restaurant, an indoor pool and a swimming pool. Wheelchair access is listed. There are no rates on this site. Where the list thins is service: this is a self catering block, and nothing here promises a concierge or a shuttle. Note that the indoor pool and the swimming pool are two separate entries.
What that adds up to is a base for a household or a small work group that wants space, cooking, laundry, parking and something for children to do on site, rather than a room in the middle of town. Comfort Living Apartment sits in Greater Nairobi, and you will want a car or a driver for most trips out. The nearest of the ten quarters this site covers is 2.71 km from Upper Hill and Community. If you are here to walk a CBD beat, or you want the centre at the door, this is the wrong address. If you are in Kileleshwa for family or a longer posting, the list works.

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.
Read the nearest quarter, Upper Hill and Community05Booking it
Book this one direct if you are coming with a car and a group, and read the facility list closely before you confirm, because the apartment block carries a lot and you should check which items sit in your unit rather than the estate. 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.
06Questions
Where exactly is Comfort Living Apartment?+
It is on Tebere Lane Oloitoktok in Kileleshwa, part of Greater Nairobi rather than the Central Business District. The site's own measure puts it 3.35 km from Kenyatta Avenue at Moi Avenue, which is 42 minutes on foot in a direct line. Plan transport accordingly, because this is not a walk to the office quarter.
What facilities does the property actually list?+
A kitchen and kitchenette with oven and toaster, washing machine, safe, balcony, terrace, lifts, free car parking, 24 hour security, a garden, a child play area, a gym, a rooftop football pitch, a coffee house, a restaurant, an indoor pool and a swimming pool. It is a self catering block.
Can I stay here without a car and still reach the centre?+
You can, but you will be taking rides in both directions rather than walking. The street itself is built for the car and the conference room, and after dark it is safe and dull: hotel bars, and a ride anywhere else. A car makes the stay far easier.
How do I check availability and hold a room?+
Availability is checked on app.impt.io, where most rooms at this property can be cancelled free. Book there if you want the terms above rather than arranging it another way. There are no prices given on this site, so use the booking page for dates and confirmation.
