A two-bedroom apartment on Argwings Kodhek Road in Greater Nairobi, five storeys up in a garden block. It is for people who want a kitchen, a parking space and quiet, and it is a poor fit for anyone who wants to walk out of the door and into the centre of the city.
01What it is
Luxury and Modern 2 Bdr is a four star apartment, not a full-service hotel. It lists a kitchen and kitchenette with a microwave, refrigerator and toaster, a washing machine, a balcony, a desk and a sofa bed, which means you eat in and spread out. There is free wifi, a lift, free car parking, daily housekeeping and a 24 hour security presence. Free car parking matters more than usual here. The thin part is food and drink: bars are listed, and a market rather than a restaurant.
For a two-bedroom apartment, Luxury and Modern 2 Bdr covers the practical ground and stops there. Self-catering and laundry facilities, a garden, a playground and a lift serve families and longer stays, while express check in and covered parking suit someone arriving by car after a late flight. The trade is location: this is a car-first address with nothing on foot outside. Book it for the space and the kitchen if you accept that, and skip it if you want a centre you can wander.

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.

06Questions
Where is Luxury and Modern 2 Bdr in Nairobi?+
It stands on Argwings Kodhek Road, in the Greater Nairobi area, and is 5.75 km from Kenyatta Avenue at Moi Avenue, which is 72 minutes on foot in a direct line. It is built for the car and the conference room, so plan on driving or taking a ride.
What is around the apartment in the evening?+
Not much within walking distance. The street itself is new concrete on a ridge, and after dark it is safe and dull, hotel bars, and a ride anywhere else. If you want dinner or company on foot, this is the wrong end of the city for it.
Does the apartment have a kitchen and parking?+
Yes. Luxury and Modern 2 Bdr lists a kitchen and kitchenette with a microwave, refrigerator and toaster, plus a washing machine, a balcony and free car parking on site. It is also 4.32 km from Upper Hill and Community, which is the nearest of the ten quarters this site covers.
How do I check availability for Luxury and Modern 2 Bdr?+
Go to app.impt.io and look up Luxury and Modern 2 Bdr by name. The listing shows what is open for your dates, and most rooms can be cancelled free. Book there and the confirmation covers the apartment, not a room type chosen by someone else.
