A three star one bed apartment on Kamiti Road, out on the northern edge of Greater Nairobi where the flyover and the market set the tone. It lists free wifi, free parking and a garden, and gives you a wheelchair accessible flat. The one thing that decides it is the car: without one, this address is hard work.
01What it is
Lovely 1 bed Apartment in Nairobi is a three star flat on Kamiti Road in Greater Nairobi, and its listed facilities are short: free wifi, free car parking, a garden and wheelchair accessible access. The parking is the item that matters most here, because the address sits on a transport edge rather than in a walkable quarter. The garden is the second: it gives you somewhere to sit that is not the street. The list is thin on the things a longer stay usually wants. There is no kitchen detail, no laundry, no workspace, no reception, and nothing about food, so you should treat this as a plain self contained flat and nothing more furnished than that.
What that adds up to is a base for someone with a car who needs the northern side of Greater Nairobi rather than the centre. Lovely 1 bed Apartment in Nairobi is 12.38 km from Ngara and the Globe, which is the nearest of the ten quarters this site covers, and 13.13 km from Kenyatta Avenue at Moi Avenue, which is 165 minutes on foot in a direct line. The street is a flyover, a roundabout, and a market that starts before the light does, and after dark it is a transport edge rather than an evening one, so you cross it by car. It suits drivers, people working nearby, and anyone content with a quiet flat and a parking space. It does not suit anyone planning to walk into the centre, to go out on foot at night, or to have the city on the doorstep.

04Standing outside the ten quarters
These hotels are not in Ngara and the Globe, and they are not in any of the ten quarters this site covers. They sit a long way out, in the wider city, and Ngara and the Globe is only the nearest of the ten. Treat that as the honest starting point: you are outside the centre, and anything you want in the CBD means travelling in and back out again.
The quarter itself is the northern edge, where the grid loosens and the roads north begin. The Globe Cinema roundabout is the CBD's northern hinge, the fruit market beside it opens at four in the morning, and Museum Hill is the next rise beyond. The street feel is a flyover, a roundabout, and a market that starts before the light does. It suits early markets and the walk up to the National Museum, and it is a transport edge rather than an evening one, crossed by car. The quarter sits 0.81 km from Kenyatta Avenue at Moi Avenue, which is 11 minutes on foot in a direct line, but that measures the quarter, not your hotel.
