A four star apartment on Kirawa Road in Kitusuru, north of the centre in Greater Nairobi. It is a whole flat with a kitchen, a washing machine and a pool, which decides it for families and long stays rather than anyone looking to walk out of a lobby into the city.
01What it is
The Executive 3 Bed Apartment in Kitusuru Nairobi lists three bedrooms, a bathroom with shower and WC, and a kitchen with an oven, microwave, refrigerator and toaster, plus a washing machine, iron and board, and towels. There is free wifi and internet access, a TV and CD player, a balcony or patio and a garden, and a pool indoors. Parking is free and there are high chairs, smoke detectors and non smoking rooms. The list is thin on the things a hotel normally supplies: no restaurant, no bar, no reception hours and no gym, and it says nothing about how the flat is serviced.
For a family or a group staying several days in Greater Nairobi, the Executive 3 Bed Apartment in Kitusuru Nairobi covers the practical ground: you cook, you wash clothes, you park, and children have somewhere to sleep and a high chair. The pool and garden matter if you are in for the afternoon. It suits people with their own transport and a reason to be north of the city, and it does not suit anyone who wants to step out of the door into the centre, or who expects hotel staff on hand through the evening.

04Standing outside the ten quarters
These hotels are not in Biashara Street and City Market, 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 Biashara Street and City Market is only the nearest of the ten quarters, the closest thing to a centre you can point to. You are outside the grid, in Greater Nairobi, and you will be travelling in and out for anything in the CBD.
The quarter you would be travelling to is the market quarter. 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 narrow, shaded, and the only part of the centre where the shops are still one-family wide. Best for kikoi and kitenge cloth, curios without the tour-bus markup, and an hour of architecture. 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.
