A three star apartment block in Syokimau, out in Greater Nairobi past the airport side. Self catering, parking and a pool on the list. It decides on one thing: you are here for a night near the SGR or the airport, not for the centre. The centre is a separate trip.
01What it is
Secarja Home Near Sgr & Jkia is a three star apartment property at Indesign Makumbi Park Apartments in Syokimau. The units are apartments with a kitchen, an oven, a microwave, a refrigerator and water, plus a bathroom with a shower, a WC, toiletries and towels, and slippers. There is free wifi and internet access, a TV, an iron and board, non smoking rooms, lifts, a balcony and a garden. Outside there is a pool and free car parking, and the building is wheelchair accessible. The list is broad but plain: no restaurant, no bar and no workspace beyond the apartment itself, so most meals are yours to make.
For a stay at Secarja Home Near Sgr & Jkia that adds up to self contained nights. You cook, you park, you sleep, you leave. The pool and garden are for the hours you are actually on site, which for most people here is not many. It suits transit travellers, families driving in, and anyone whose business is the airport or the SGR rather than the city. It does not suit a first visit built around Kenyatta Avenue and Muthurwa. Greater Nairobi is 15.58 km from Kenyatta Avenue at Moi Avenue, which is 195 minutes on foot in a direct line, so treat the centre as its own outing, not a stroll from the room.

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 Secarja Home Near Sgr & Jkia?+
The property is at Indesign Makumbi Park Apartments in Syokimau, in Greater Nairobi. That puts it on the airport and SGR side of the city rather than in the Central Business District. It is 14.51 km from Muthurwa and the east markets, which is the nearest of the ten quarters this site covers, so plan transport for anything central.
What does the property actually list?+
Apartments with a kitchen, oven, microwave, refrigerator and water, a bathroom with shower, WC, towels and toiletries, slippers, TV, iron and board, free wifi, non smoking rooms, lifts, a balcony and a garden. Outside there is a pool and free car parking, and the building is wheelchair accessible. There is no restaurant or bar on the list.
Is it practical to stay here without a car?+
The apartment side works: kitchen, wifi, lifts and parking if you drive. Without a car you are relying on hired transport for the airport line and for anything in the centre. There is no restaurant or bar in the building, so you also need a plan for meals beyond what you cook. It is not a base for walking the city.
How do I check availability and cancel if my plans change?+
Availability and apartment types are shown through app.impt.io. Most rooms here can be cancelled free, so if your dates are still moving you can hold a booking and release it. The terms attached to your specific booking are the ones that apply, so read them before you confirm.
