A three bed apartment on Kangaru Road in Greater Nairobi, well outside the centre and set on a street that runs on the vegetable trade. The parking space is what decides it: with a car this works, without one the location does not.
01What it is
Nice 3 bed Apartment in Nairobi is a three star property on Kangaru Road in Greater Nairobi, and the listed facilities are short: free Wifi and free car parking, and that is the whole of it. No restaurant, no bar, no gym, no airport transfer, nothing about breakfast. For a three bed apartment that is not unusual, because the point of the place is the bedrooms and the parking rather than services downstairs, but you should book it knowing the list is thin and that anything beyond a bed and a connection is yours to arrange.
What that adds up to is a base for someone with a car and a reason to be in this part of Greater Nairobi rather than in the centre. The apartment gives you space a hotel room in the centre would not, and the parking is free, which matters on a road where trucks and handcarts are working the vegetable trade from early morning. It does not suit anyone relying on walking or public transport into the centre, and it does not suit anyone who wants the evening to continue outside the gate.

04Standing outside the ten quarters
These hotels are not in Muthurwa and the east markets, and they are not in any of the ten quarters of the centre this site covers. They sit a long way out, in the wider city, and Muthurwa and the east markets is only the nearest of the ten. That is the whole point of the distinction: you are sleeping outside the grid, and you will be travelling in and out for anything in the CBD.
The quarter itself is the eastern edge of the grid: wholesale produce, bus termini, before dawn. Trucks, handcarts and the entire city’s vegetables changing hands at 5am. It is the wholesale edge, where Muthurwa’s market and the country bus termini push up against the railway land, and it feeds the rest of the grid. Best for an early-morning market walk with someone who knows it. After dark it is closed, dark and not a place to be, and mornings are the only sensible time. Muthurwa sits 1.23 km from Kenyatta Avenue at Moi Avenue, which is 16 minutes on foot in a direct line, and that figure describes the quarter, not your journey from these hotels.

06Questions
Where exactly is Nice 3 bed Apartment in Nairobi?+
It sits on Kangaru Road in Greater Nairobi, outside the central business district. It is 9.25 km from Kenyatta Avenue at Moi Avenue, which is 116 minutes on foot in a direct line. That is the honest picture: this is a property you reach by car, not on foot from the centre.
What facilities does the apartment actually list?+
Free Wifi and free car parking, and nothing else is on file. There is no restaurant, no bar and no airport transfer listed. Treat the parking as the main facility, since a car is effectively how you get anywhere from Kangaru Road, and plan meals and everything else yourself.
What is the area around Kangaru Road like?+
It is a working market street, not a tourist quarter. The site's own line on it: Trucks, handcarts and the entire city’s vegetables changing hands at 5am. After dark it is closed, dark and not a place to be, so mornings only is the sensible way to use the street.
How do I check availability and book?+
Availability is checked online, and booking runs through app.impt.io. Cancellation is free on most rooms, so you can hold a date and change your mind. There are no prices shown on this site, so confirm the details at the point of booking rather than here.
