A four star furnished apartment in Kilimani with a full kitchen, a balcony and free parking. The one thing that decides it is whether you want a self contained flat on the ridge rather than a hotel room in the centre.
01What it is
This Furnished apartment in Kilimani lists a full kitchen: oven, microwave, refrigerator, plus a dining end of the room that the layout supports. You get a bath and a separate WC, towels, toiletries, slippers, an iron and board, housekeeping and a laundry service. There is a balcony, a patio and a terrace, and the apartment is non smoking. The list carries free wifi, internet access, a TV and a DVD player, a safe, lifts, 24H security, a smoke detector and first aid. Free car parking is included. Family rooms appear on the list with no detail on bed configuration, and there is no gym, no pool and no restaurant, so the facility list is a flat's list rather than a hotel's.
What that adds up to is an apartment for someone staying a stretch in Nairobi who wants to cook, park and shut the door, and the Furnished apartment in Kilimani suits that person well. The four star rating sits on the fittings rather than on service. It does not suit anyone who wants a lobby, a bar downstairs or a bed made for a single night, and it does not suit a visitor whose day is built around the centre, because the apartment sits on a ridge street the facts block describes as new concrete built for the car and the conference room. Kilimani is safe and dull after dark, with 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 of the centre this site covers. They sit well outside the centre, in the inner suburbs, and Upper Hill and Community is only the nearest of the ten quarters. That matters more than it sounds: you are staying in the wider city, and anything in the CBD means travelling in and out for it. The ridge itself is new concrete built for the car and the conference room, and most of the CBD's office space has been moving up there since the 2000s, which is why you find the tallest towers in the country, the big hospitals, the aid agencies and an expressway ramp to the airport on it. The quarter sits 1.9 km from Kenyatta Avenue at Moi Avenue, which is 24 minutes on foot in a direct line.
Upper Hill and Community is best for meetings, a quiet night close in, and a fast run to the airport. After dark it is safe and dull: hotel bars, and a ride anywhere else. If you want the centre on foot, this is not the right base.

Book this apartment if you want a self contained flat in Kilimani rather than a hotel room, and confirm the bed setup before you pay. Most rooms here can be cancelled free, and you book them through app.impt.io. Every confirmed booking removes one tonne of CO2, at no extra cost to you. Five percent of what you pay comes back as IMPT credit, out of the hotel commission rather than added to your bill.

06Questions
Where exactly is the Furnished apartment in Kilimani?+
It is at Denis Garden Apartments Block D 402 on Denis Pritt Road, in Kilimani. The site puts it 4.22 km from Kenyatta Avenue at Moi Avenue, which is 53 minutes on foot in a direct line, and 3.05 km from Upper Hill and Community, which is the nearest of the ten quarters this site covers.
What does the apartment actually include?+
A kitchen with oven, microwave and refrigerator, a bath and separate WC, towels and toiletries, a balcony, patio and terrace, free wifi, a TV and DVD player, a safe, lifts, 24H security and free car parking. Housekeeping and laundry service are listed. Family rooms appear with no detail on the beds, and it is worth confirming what you need before booking.
Is Kilimani a good base for the city centre?+
It depends on your day. The facts block describes the street as new concrete on a ridge, built for the car and the conference room, and after dark as safe and dull, with hotel bars and a ride anywhere else. If you want to walk out of the door into the centre, this is the wrong address. If you want a car and a quiet street, it works.
How do I check availability for the Furnished apartment in Kilimani?+
Availability and free cancellation are shown through app.impt.io, which is where you book. Check the dates you need against the apartment, and confirm the bed setup and any family room requirement in the same step, since the facility list does not spell out the sleeping arrangement.
