A two bedroom apartment on Othaya Road in Kileleshwa, on the ridge above the centre, with a pool, a gym and parking. What decides it is the car: this address sits 5.19 km from Kenyatta Avenue at Moi Avenue, which is 65 minutes on foot in a direct line, so you want your own transport or a driver on call.
01What it is
Nandwa Ivy 2 BR Kileleshwa with pool GYM Netflix & super fast WIFI is a four star apartment, and it is set up as one: two bedrooms, a kitchen with a microwave and refrigerator, a washing machine, a lounge, a balcony or patio, a dining corner with coffee, a hairdryer, an iron and board, towels and toiletries. The building lists a garden, a terrace, lifts, a 24 hour front desk with express check in, 24 hour security, a safe, smoke detectors and wheelchair access, and there is free wifi, free car parking, an outdoor pool and a fitness center on site. A cot and family rooms are listed, so children are not an afterthought. Where the list is thin is the ordinary sort of thing you look for in a hotel: there is no restaurant named, only bars, no airport transfer, no workspace described beyond the apartment itself, and the apartment is carpeted in part.
Nandwa Ivy 2 BR Kileleshwa with pool GYM Netflix & super fast WIFI suits a longer stay, a small family or two people who want a kitchen and a washing machine rather than a room, and who will keep a car. Parking is free and the pool and gym mean you do not have to leave the compound to fill a free afternoon. The address is the whole argument. This is new concrete on a ridge, built for the car and the conference room, and the nearest of the ten quarters this site covers is 4.03 km from Upper Hill and Community, so the centre is a drive, not a stroll. It does not suit anyone who wants to step out of a lobby into the city, and after dark there is little on foot: hotel bars, and a ride anywhere else.

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 exactly is the apartment?+
It is on Othaya Road in Kileleshwa, in Greater Nairobi, on the ridge west of the centre. That puts it 5.19 km from Kenyatta Avenue at Moi Avenue, which is 65 minutes on foot in a direct line. The street is new concrete, built for the car and the conference room, so plan on driving rather than walking in.
Is there parking and is it free?+
Yes. Free car parking is listed on the property. There is also 24 hour security and a 24 hour front desk with express check in, so arriving late with a car is workable. The address is a ridge location built around vehicles, which is why parking matters more here than a central location would.
What is in the apartment itself?+
Two bedrooms, a bathroom with a shower, bidet and toiletries, a kitchen with a microwave and refrigerator, a washing machine, an iron and board, a lounge, a balcony or patio, a safe, a TV, and a cot and family rooms are listed. Free wifi is listed, and the pool and fitness center are shared building facilities.
How do I check availability?+
Use the booking link on this page and put in your dates. The listing takes you through to app.impt.io, where confirmed bookings are handled, and most rooms here can be cancelled free. If you need family rooms and a cot, say so when you book, because those are limited.
