A furnished one bedroom on Church Road in Embakasi, in Greater Nairobi rather than the centre, and well away from it. It is a self catering, 4 star unit with a kitchen, parking and a front desk that never closes. That kitchen and that distance are what decide it.
01What it is
Furnished 1BR Embakasi by LaMeg is a 4 star furnished one bedroom on Church Road, and the list is built around a longer stay rather than a night or two. You get a kitchen with a microwave and a refrigerator, a desk, a TV, towels and a safe, plus free wifi and a 24 hour front desk. The laundry service, iron and board and cleaning mean you can settle in without packing for a week. Family rooms and lifts help if you are moving with children or luggage. It is thin on the things a city break wants: no restaurant, no bar, no gym, and no second bedroom if there are more than two of you.
For someone staying here, Furnished 1BR Embakasi by LaMeg works as a base for self catering rather than a hotel you use room service in. You cook, you park free, and you come back to a building with a desk and dependable wifi. The catch is the setting. It sits 9.24 km from Kenyatta Avenue at Moi Avenue, which is 116 minutes on foot in a direct line, and Embakasi is not the centre. The street there is about trucks, handcarts and the entire city's vegetables changing hands at 5am, and after dark it is closed, dark and not a place to be. It suits people with their own transport, work in the east of the city, or an early start. It does not suit anyone who wants to step out of a lobby into the Central Business District.

04Standing outside the ten quarters
These hotels are not in Muthurwa and the east markets, 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 Muthurwa and the east markets is only the nearest of the ten. That is the whole point of the distinction: you are sleeping outside the grid, and you will be travelling in and out for anything in the CBD.
The quarter itself is the eastern edge of the grid: wholesale produce, bus termini, before dawn. Trucks, handcarts and the entire city’s vegetables changing hands at 5am. It is the wholesale edge, where Muthurwa’s market and the country bus termini push up against the railway land, and it feeds the rest of the grid. Best for an early-morning market walk with someone who knows it. After dark it is closed, dark and not a place to be, and mornings are the only sensible time. Muthurwa sits 1.23 km from Kenyatta Avenue at Moi Avenue, which is 16 minutes on foot in a direct line, and that figure describes the quarter, not your journey from these hotels.
