A four star serviced one bedroom apartment on Kodi 2 Road in Greater Nairobi, aimed at people who want a kitchen, a desk and a parking space rather than a hotel lobby. The deciding question is the car: without one, the address does not work, and Upper Hill is the nearest quarter.
01What it is
The Furnished 1 Bedroom Apartment in Nairobi lists a full self catering setup: kitchen and kitchenette, oven, microwave, refrigerator and toaster, with coffee, water, towels, toiletries, a hairdryer, an iron and board, and laundry service. The apartment side is plain but complete, including a bathroom with WC, shower and bidet, slippers, a safe, a TV, a desk and carpeted rooms. Outside there is a balcony and a terrace, plus free wifi, free car parking and 24 hour security, with car rental on site. Where the list thins is anything communal: no restaurant, no bar, no gym, no pool and no front desk described beyond security.
What that adds up to for someone staying here is a private flat with its own kitchen, not a hotel with services. Cook your own meals, park your own car, and treat the apartment as a base. The Furnished 1 Bedroom Apartment in Nairobi is right for a longer stay, a work trip with a vehicle, or anyone who would rather not eat out every night. It is wrong for a short city break on foot, since the address sits 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.

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.
