A four star apartment on Kasuku Road, in the new concrete on the ridge, with its own pool and a full kitchen. The pool and the parking decide it: this is a place for people with a car and a reason to be in the conference quarter, not for anyone who wants the centre on foot.
01What it is
Modern Nairobi Apartment with Private Pool and City Views lists a full self-catering set: kitchen and kitchenette, oven, microwave, refrigerator, toaster, coffee, washing machine, iron and board. The bathrooms come with bath, shower, WC, towels and bathrobe, and there is free wifi, a TV, free car parking and wheelchair access. Nine photos are on file. The list is thin on services: no restaurant, no bar, no gym, no front desk detail, nothing beyond the apartment itself and the outdoor pool.
Modern Nairobi Apartment with Private Pool and City Views is a four star self-contained flat, so what you get is space and a kitchen rather than a lobby. That suits a family, a small group or anyone on a longer stay who would rather cook than eat out, and it suits a driver, since parking is free and the street was built for the car. It does not suit anyone without a car. Greater Nairobi at night is safe and dull: hotel bars, and a ride anywhere else. The pool is the private kind attached to the apartment, so the decision is simple. If you want a serviced hotel with people around, look in the centre instead.

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.

06Questions
Where exactly is this apartment?+
It sits on Kasuku Road in Greater Nairobi, on the ridge of new concrete north of the centre. It is 3.51 km from Kenyatta Avenue at Moi Avenue, which is 44 minutes on foot in a direct line, and 2.16 km from Upper Hill and Community, which is the nearest of the ten quarters this site covers.

There is free wifi, a TV, free car parking and wheelchair access. What it does not have is a restaurant, a bar or a gym.
Can I stay here without a car?+
It is possible but awkward. The street was built for the car and the conference room, and after dark it is safe and dull: hotel bars, and a ride anywhere else. With free parking on site, the apartment makes far more sense if you are driving or being driven.
