A two-bedroom serviced apartment block on Matundu Lane, on Mombasa Road, with a garden, pool and National Park view. The one thing that decides it is the car: the street is industrial and the area goes dark and unlit after work.
01What it is
Mombasa Road SouthPark 2 bedroom Spacious Apartments with National Park View is a four star apartment property on Matundu Lane A2. Each unit lists a kitchen, oven, microwave, refrigerator, toaster, washing machine, iron and board, coffee, towels, hairdryer, slippers and a TV, plus a safe, smoke detector, first aid and 24H. Security with security features. The building lists an outdoor pool, garden, terrace, patio, balcony, playground, lifts, wheelchair access, free wifi, free car parking and parking, cleaning and laundry service, non smoking rooms, pets allowed, a fan and a shower with WC. The list is thin on two things: meals and climate. No restaurant, bar or breakfast appears, and the only cooling named is a fan.
For someone staying at Mombasa Road SouthPark 2 bedroom Spacious Apartments with National Park View, that adds up to a self-contained flat rather than a hotel. You cook, you wash clothes, you work on the free wifi, and you park a car on site. Two bedrooms and a full kitchen suit a family, a pair sharing, or a long posting. The fan and the absent restaurant decide the rest. Book it if you drive and want space and quiet. Do not book it if you want restaurants, a bar and a short walk into the centre: this is a car address in an industrial quarter.

04Standing outside the ten quarters
These hotels are not in the centre. They sit well outside it, in the inner suburbs, past the ten quarters this site covers. The nearest of those quarters, for orientation only, is The Railway Quarter, on the southern edge of the grid, and that is as close as the connection goes. You are in the wider city here. Anything in the CBD means travelling in and out, so plan the day around that rather than around a short step from your room.
The Railway Quarter itself is wide industrial land, sheds, and the reason any of this is here, the museum, and understanding the city's whole layout in one afternoon. Nairobi exists because the Uganda Railway stopped here in 1899 to gather strength for the Rift; the 1929 station, the old yards and the museum of locomotives sit on the CBD's southern boundary, ten minutes below Kenyatta Avenue. After dark it is industrial and unlit in stretches, so keep it to daylight and a car back.

06Questions
Where exactly is this property?+
It is on Matundu Lane A2, on Mombasa Road in Greater Nairobi. It stands 5.15 km from Kenyatta Avenue at Moi Avenue, which is 65 minutes on foot in a direct line. The surroundings are wide industrial land and sheds, and the National Park view in the name comes from that open ground.

A kitchen with oven, microwave, refrigerator and toaster, plus a washing machine, iron and board, coffee, towels, hairdryer, slippers and a TV. There is a safe, smoke detector, fan and 24H. Security. The bedroom count is two, so it sleeps a family or a pair sharing.
Can I walk into the city centre from here?+
You can, in the sense that it is 4.29 km from The Railway Quarter, which is the nearest of the ten quarters this site covers, but the street itself is industrial, unlit in stretches and best treated as daylight only with a car back. Plan on driving or taking a taxi.
How do I check availability?+
