A three star two bedroom flat in Karen, west of the centre, with free parking, wifi, CCTV and a garden. It is set up for a car and a longer stay rather than for walking into town. If you want the Central Business District on foot, this is the wrong address.
01What it is
Repose Stay 2br Wifi Cctv Parking in Karen is a three star apartment rather than a full service hotel, and the list is practical rather than plush: free wifi, free car parking, a garden, luggage storage, express check in and express check out. It also lists horse back riding, which is not something you can do from the property itself and needs arranging. There is no restaurant, no bar and no pool on the list, and no room service, gym or meeting space either, so the food and the evenings are yours to organise.
What that adds up to is a base for a driver. Repose Stay 2br Wifi Cctv Parking in Karen sits 15.63 km from Upper Hill and Community, which is the nearest of the ten quarters this site covers, so the centre is a committed trip rather than a stroll. The street feel is new concrete on a ridge, built for the car and the conference room, and after dark it is safe and dull: hotel bars, and a ride anywhere else. It suits families and longer stays with a vehicle. It does not suit anyone who wants the Central Business District on foot.

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 a long way out, in the wider city, and Upper Hill and Community is only the nearest of the ten quarters to them, which is not the same as being in it. Treat the quarter as a reference point, not an address. Anything you want in the CBD means travelling in and out.
The quarter itself is the western ridge above the centre: new concrete on a ridge, built for the car and the conference room. It is not the CBD proper but the ridge immediately above it, and the place most of the CBD's office space has been moving to since the 2000s: 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 lies 1.9 km from Kenyatta Avenue at Moi Avenue, which is 24 minutes on foot in a direct line.
