A three star studio off Lower Kabete, in plain residential Greater Nairobi rather than the centre itself. Free wifi, free parking, housekeeping and laundry are what is on the list, plus a surcharge line that tells you nothing. If you are driving and want quiet, this works; if you want to walk out into the city, it does not.
01What it is
Sherry Homes Zuri Studio is a three star property on Stima Lane Off Lower Kabete, in Greater Nairobi. The facilities it lists are practical rather than generous: free wifi, free car parking, housekeeping and a laundry service, with a surcharge noted alongside them. There is no restaurant, no bar and no gym on the list, and ten photographs are on file. So the list covers the basics of a self contained studio stay and stops there, and anyone needing meals on site, a workspace beyond the room, or a place to meet people should treat the list as thin.
For the right visitor, Sherry Homes Zuri Studio does one job well: it puts a serviced studio with parking outside the crowded middle of the city and leaves you in charge of your own food and evenings. It suits someone with a car, a longer stay, or work in the western residential belt. It does not suit a first time visitor who wants to step out of a lobby into shops, cafes and transport, because neither Lower Kabete nor Greater Nairobi works that way. Read the surcharge line carefully before you commit.

04Standing outside the ten quarters
Before you book, be clear about where these hotels are. They sit well outside the centre, in the inner suburbs, and they are not in any of the ten quarters this site covers. Biashara Street and City Market is only the nearest of those quarters, which is not the same as being in it. You are in the wider city here, and every trip into the Central Business District is a journey in and out.
The market quarter itself is narrow, shaded, and the only part of the centre where the shops are still one-family wide. The oldest retail streets in the city: Biashara for cloth and haberdashery, Muindi Mbingu for flowers, and the 1930s City Market hall behind them for produce, curios and a fish counter. Jamia Mosque's three silver domes close the block. It is best for kikoi and kitenge cloth, curios without the tour-bus markup, and an hour of architecture. After dark it is a daytime quarter: the halls shut in the late afternoon and the streets empty with them. It lies 0.63 km from Kenyatta Avenue at Moi Avenue, which is 8 minutes on foot in a direct line.

Book Sherry Homes Zuri Studio direct if you want the studio and the parking confirmed together rather than arriving to find one of them is not. Most rooms here can be cancelled free, and you book them through app.impt.io. Every confirmed booking removes one tonne of CO2, at no extra cost to you. Five percent of what you pay comes back as IMPT credit, out of the hotel commission rather than added to your bill.
Facts on this page come from the booking supplier's record: star class, address, photographs and facility list. Guest scores come from verified stays. Nobody from this site has stayed here; the quarter copy around it is this site's own.
06Questions
Where is Sherry Homes Zuri Studio?+
It sits on Stima Lane Off Lower Kabete, in Greater Nairobi rather than the central business district. The measured line is 3.99 km from Kenyatta Avenue at Moi Avenue, which is 50 minutes on foot in a direct line, so plan your transport around the western side of the city.
What facilities does the property list?+
Free wifi, free car parking, housekeeping, a laundry service, and a surcharge entry that is not explained. There is no restaurant, bar or gym on the list. Sherry Homes Zuri Studio is a three star studio, so expect the essentials to be covered and everything else to be your own arrangement.
How does it sit relative to the centre and the quarters you cover?+
It is 3.45 km from Biashara Street and City Market, which is the nearest of the ten quarters this site covers. That quarter is a daytime quarter: the halls shut in the late afternoon and the streets empty with them, so arriving there in the evening gives you nothing to do.
How do I check availability for Sherry Homes Zuri Studio?+
Use app.impt.io and put in your dates. Most rooms here can be cancelled free, so a booking holds your studio while you sort transport and confirm the surcharge details with the property. Nothing is charged outside the app.
