A four star apartment style property on Ole Sangale Link Road West Point, near Wilson Airport and the Giraffe Center. It suits people who want a kitchen and their own parking rather than a serviced room, and it fails anyone who wants to walk out of the door into a restaurant or a bar.
01What it is
Cozy Home Near Wilson Airport & Giraffe Center lists kitchens and kitchenettes, with an oven, a microwave, a refrigerator and a washing machine, so the property is built around feeding and laundering yourself. There are family rooms, non smoking rooms, a desk, a sofa bed, a balcony and a terrace, plus free wifi, free car parking and a 24 hour front desk with 24 hour security. Two pools are listed, indoor and outdoor, along with a garden. The list is thinner on anything social: no restaurant, no bar, no gym, no airport transfer, and no room service.
What that adds up to is a self contained base in a quarter built for the car and the conference room. Cozy Home Near Wilson Airport & Giraffe Center gives you a kitchen, a washing machine and a parking space, which is precisely what someone on a longer stay or a family wants. It is not for you if you want to arrive and be looked after, or if you want the evening to happen outside your door. The pools and the garden cover daytime; after that the area is safe and dull, hotel bars, and a ride anywhere else.

04Standing in Upper Hill and Community
Upper Hill and Community sits on the western ridge, 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. The street feel is new concrete on a ridge, built for the car and the conference room. The quarter lies 1.9 km from Kenyatta Avenue at Moi Avenue, which is 24 minutes on foot in a direct line.
It is best for meetings, a quiet night close in, and a fast run to the airport. After dark it is safe and dull: hotel bars, and a ride anywhere else. That suits people here to work and people who want their evening contained. It does not suit anyone expecting street life outside the door. The streets are built for the car and the conference room, so plan to move by vehicle once the working day ends.
