A two bedroom apartment on Ngong Road, with its own kitchen, parking and CCTV, out on the ridge where Greater Nairobi turns car-dependent. It decides on two things: whether you have a car, and whether you want space and quiet rather than the centre.
01What it is
Repose Stay Karen 2 Bedroom WiFi Parking CCTV is a three star apartment rather than a hotel, and its list reads like one: kitchen and kitchenette, microwave, refrigerator, iron and board, laundry service and cleaning, plus free wifi, free car parking, 24H. Security and CCTV among the security features. You also get a bathroom with shower, WC, towels and toiletries, a hairdryer, slippers, a safe, a TV with pay per view, non smoking rooms, family rooms and a sofa bed. The list is thin on the holiday extras it also names, bowling, mini golf, golf course and horse back riding, which are almost certainly things nearby rather than on site, and there is no restaurant or bar of its own, no gym and no pool.
What that adds up to is a self-catering base, not a hotel with service around the clock. Repose Stay Karen 2 Bedroom WiFi Parking CCTV gives you a kitchen, a washing machine's worth of laundry arrangements and a parking space behind security, which suits a family, a small group or anyone staying several days who would rather cook and come and go by car. It does not suit a visitor who wants the Central Business District on foot, or a bar and a restaurant downstairs, or anyone without their own transport, because Greater Nairobi is 17.37 km from Kenyatta Avenue at Moi Avenue, which is 218 minutes on foot in a direct line, and 15.67 km from Upper Hill and Community, which is the nearest of the ten quarters this site covers.

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.
