A three star apartment block in Shaba Village Estate Syokimau, in Greater Nairobi, well outside the centre. The listed facilities are parking, lifts and step free access, which suits a self driving stay and does not suit anyone without a car.
01What it is
Stay.Plus Shaba Village Apartment is a three star property in Shaba Village Estate Syokimau, and what it lists is short: free car parking, parking, lifts, and wheelchair accessible access. Those four are the whole of the facility list on file. Nobody is claiming a restaurant, a pool, a gym or a bar, because none is listed. If you are arriving with a vehicle, the parking and the lift are the two items that matter, and the lift also matters if stairs are a problem for anyone in your group. Beyond that, the listing is thin, and you should treat the apartment itself rather than the building as the product.
For someone staying at Stay.Plus Shaba Village Apartment, that adds up to a practical, functional base in Greater Nairobi rather than a place with anything to do on site. The distance is the deciding fact: it is 15.64 km from Kenyatta Avenue at Moi Avenue, which is 196 minutes on foot in a direct line. This suits a self driving traveller who wants secure parking and a step free building and does not need the centre on the doorstep. It does not suit anyone on foot, and the area is closed, dark and not a place to be after dark, so mornings only.

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 Stay.Plus Shaba Village Apartment?+
It sits in Shaba Village Estate Syokimau, in Greater Nairobi, not in the central business district. The nearest of the ten quarters this site covers is 14.57 km from Muthurwa and the east markets, which is the nearest of the ten quarters this site covers. Plan on a vehicle rather than a walk.
What facilities does the property actually list?+
Free car parking, parking, lifts and wheelchair accessible access. That is the full list on file, so there is no restaurant, bar, pool or gym to expect. The building is step free and has lifts, and a car can be left on site, which is the main practical offer here.
Can I walk into central Nairobi from here?+
No. It is 15.64 km from Kenyatta Avenue at Moi Avenue, which is 196 minutes on foot in a direct line, and that is a straight line rather than a street route. The surrounding area is closed, dark and not a place to be after dark, so treat it as mornings only and arrange your own transport.
How do I check whether a room is free?+
Look up Stay.Plus Shaba Village Apartment on app.impt.io, where availability is shown and bookings are taken. If the dates you want are not open, try shifting them slightly. The site takes the booking directly for this property, so that is the place to confirm what is free.
