A studio apartment block behind Imaara Mall in Imara Daima, south east of the centre. It lists a full self catering setup, parking and a balcony. The deciding factor is the location: Greater Nairobi, far from the quarter, and reached by car, not on foot.
01What it is
Ruby Modern Homes Studio Apt Imara Daima Behind Imaara Mall JKIA Nebula is a four star apartment property off Cosmas Ndeti Road in Imara Daima. It lists what a self catering stay needs: a kitchen and kitchenette, microwave, refrigerator, sink, plus bathroom, shower, WC, towels, sheets and toiletries. There is a desk, carpeted floors, a balcony, a safe, an iron and board, a TV and free wifi. Free car parking and 24 hour security are listed, with cleaning and laundry service. The list is thin on the building itself: no lift, no backup power, no workspaces beyond the desk, no dining, nothing communal.
Ruby Modern Homes Studio Apt Imara Daima Behind Imaara Mall JKIA Nebula suits a driver who wants a self contained flat south east of the centre, with parking, security and a kitchen, and who does not need to be in the middle of things. It does not suit anyone without a car, anyone who wants to walk to meetings or dinner, or anyone expecting hotel services. It is 8.21 km from Kenyatta Avenue at Moi Avenue, which is 103 minutes on foot in a direct line, so treat it as a base you drive out of, not a base you walk from.

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.
