A serviced one bed apartment on Wood Avenue in Kilimani, with a kitchen, a balcony and parking, in a part of the city built for the car. It suits you if you are staying a while or working in the conference halls nearby, and not if you want to step out of the door into the centre.
01What it is
Joda Apartment ONE bed Kilimani is a four star apartment let in Staroot Residency on Wood Avenue, in Kilimani rather than in the Central Business District. The listing leans residential and practical: a kitchen with a microwave, refrigerator, toaster and washing machine, a balcony, a terrace, and a living space with a TV, telephone, fan, iron and board, safe and free wifi. Bedrooms are carpeted and non smoking, with towels, toiletries, a hairdryer, slippers, a shower and a bidet. The building adds lifts, wheelchair access, 24 hour security, cleaning, laundry service, free car parking and a car rental desk, plus a fitness centre and a swimming pool with a kids pool and playground. The list is thinner on the things a short city break wants: no restaurant, no bar, no airport transfer, and smoking is confined to a smoking area.
What this adds up to is self contained rather than hotel service, and the address decides the rest. Joda Apartment ONE bed Kilimani is 2.85 km from Upper Hill and Community, which is the nearest of the ten quarters this site covers, and 4.27 km from Kenyatta Avenue at Moi Avenue, which is 54 minutes on foot in a direct line. Kilimani 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. Book it if you are in Nairobi for weeks rather than nights, cooking your own food, keeping a car or using the rental desk, and working in Upper Hill or the nearby conference venues. Do not book it if you want the halls and offices of the centre within walking distance, or if you want to walk out in the evening to a choice of places.

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.
