A self-contained flat with a kitchen on Kindaruma Road, in the new concrete ridge of Greater Nairobi. The kitchen and the parking decide it: right if you are working in the area and driving, wrong if you want the centre on foot, since the halls shut in the late afternoon.
01What it is
Fully Furnished apartment at the Heart of Nairobi is a three star property on Kindaruma Road, in the Greater Nairobi area. The list is practical rather than social: a kitchen, free wifi, a TV, a safe, a balcony and a terrace, with cleaning and laundry service behind them. A 24 hour front desk and 24H. Security cover the hours, and lifts serve the floors. Free car parking and parking more broadly are on the list, which matters here. What is missing is as telling: no restaurant, no bar, no gym and no meeting rooms. Non smoking rooms are listed.
What that adds up to is a base rather than a hotel. Fully Furnished apartment at the Heart of Nairobi gives you a kitchen, a washing arrangement and a parking space, which is the point of the address. The street feel 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. It suits someone in the city to work, with a car, or a household staying more than a night or two. It does not suit anyone who wants to step out to dinner.

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.

06Questions
Where is Fully Furnished apartment at the Heart of Nairobi?+
It is on Kindaruma Road in the Greater Nairobi area. It sits 1.97 km from Upper Hill and Community, which is the nearest of the ten quarters this site covers. The centre is further off, so treat this as a base in the wider city rather than a hotel in the middle of it.
What facilities does the property list?+
A kitchen, free wifi, a TV, a safe, a balcony and a terrace, plus cleaning and laundry service. A 24 hour front desk, 24H. Security and lifts cover the building, and free car parking is listed. There is no restaurant, bar or gym on the list, so plan meals yourself.
What does getting into the centre from Greater Nairobi mean here?+
The apartment is 3.64 km from Kenyatta Avenue at Moi Avenue, which is 46 minutes on foot in a direct line. That is a real walk on a road built for cars. If the centre is your day, you want a car or a ride, and you should decide that before booking.
How do I check availability?+
Go through app.impt.io. The property is a three star apartment block on Kindaruma Road, and availability turns on the dates rather than on a desk you can call. Booking there also settles the cancellation terms and the credit before you commit.
