A three star apartment in Greater Nairobi, built for longer stays rather than a night in town. It has a full kitchen, a washing machine and parking, and it is safe and dull after dark. That last part decides it: fine if you have a car, wrong if you want the centre on foot.
01What it is
Extended stays at Myra 2 Bedrooms is a three star apartment property on Myra Residences Apartment in Greater Nairobi. The list leans domestic: a kitchen, kitchenette, oven, microwave, refrigerator and toaster, plus a washing machine, iron and board, and housekeeping and cleaning. Also coffee, a cot, a hairdryer, slippers, towels and toiletries. The building adds 24 hour front desk and 24H. Security, lifts, free wifi, free car parking, a safe, smoke detectors, first aid, luggage storage, concierge, room service, laundry and dry cleaning, a business center, banquet space, a barber and beauty salon, a market and an outdoor pool. It is wheelchair accessible, non smoking, and has a shuttle service. Where the list is thin: the pool, banquet and salon are shared building amenities, not private hotel services, and there is no restaurant, no gym and no workspace described.
For someone staying a week or more, the apartment side of Extended stays at Myra 2 Bedrooms is the point. You cook, you wash clothes, you park the car for free, and you are not dependent on a hotel kitchen. The trade is location: this is a residential ridge in Greater Nairobi, not the centre. It is 1.83 km from Upper Hill and Community, which is the nearest of the ten quarters this site covers. If your days are meetings in Upper Hill or the centre and your evenings are your own, it works. If you want to walk out to dinner, it does not. The street feel there is new concrete on a ridge, built for the car and the conference room, and after dark it is safe and dull: hotel bars, and a ride anywhere else. Suits long stays, families and anyone with a car. Does not suit a short city break on foot.

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.
