A 3 star apartment block in Embakasi Village, 9.21 km from Muthurwa and the east markets, which is the nearest of the ten quarters this site covers. Free parking and wheelchair access are the whole of the listed facilities. It suits a driver who wants a quiet, private base and does not suit anyone hoping to walk to the centre.
01What it is
Stay.Plus Embakasi Airport Apartment lists two facilities: free car parking and wheelchair accessible. That is the complete list, and it is thin even for a 3 star property. A car park and a step-free route in cover the two things that matter most to someone arriving with a vehicle or with a wheelchair, and the listing gives you nothing about the rooms themselves, no kitchen, no wifi, no laundry, no security detail. There is also no guest score on file, so nothing here tells you how previous stays went. You are booking on the strength of the location and the parking, not on a track record.
What that adds up to is a small, private, vehicle-first base. Stay.Plus Embakasi Airport Apartment sits in Greater Nairobi, 10.45 km from Kenyatta Avenue at Moi Avenue, which is 131 minutes on foot in a direct line. The street there is a working market: trucks, handcarts and the entire city's vegetables changing hands at 5am. After dark the same street is closed, dark and not a place to be, and it is mornings only. So this property suits a driver who wants parking, quiet and a door of their own, and it does not suit a walker, a late arriver or anyone who wants the centre on foot.

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.

Book this one if you are arriving by car and leaving early, because the parking is the reason it works. 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 Stay.Plus Embakasi Airport Apartment?+
It is in Embakasi Village, in Greater Nairobi, not in the Central Business District. It is 9.21 km from Muthurwa and the east markets, which is the nearest of the ten quarters this site covers. The address is a working market street and it is a mornings-only area.
What facilities does the property list?+
Two: free car parking and wheelchair accessible. That is the full listed set, and it is thin for a 3 star property. There is no guest score on file either, so you have no record of previous stays to go on. The parking is the facility that does the real work here.
Can I walk from the apartment into the centre?+
It is 10.45 km from Kenyatta Avenue at Moi Avenue, which is 131 minutes on foot in a direct line. That is a long walk and the street you would start on is closed and dark after dark. Plan on a vehicle, or plan on staying put until morning.
What is the street like, and how do I check availability?+
Mornings only: trucks, handcarts and the entire city's vegetables changing hands at 5am, then closed, dark and not a place to be after that. Availability and free cancellation for most rooms are handled through app.impt.io, where you can see what is open for your dates.
