A two bed furnished apartment on Terrance Park, a wide industrial street out in Greater Nairobi. Free wifi and free car parking are on the list. The car is the whole question here: with one, this is a workable base, without one it is a long way from the centre and unlit after dark.
01What it is
Stunning 2 bed Cozy Furnished Apartment in Nairobi is a 3 star property on Terrance Park, in Greater Nairobi rather than the Central Business District. The listed facilities are short and clear: free wifi and free car parking. Both matter in a two bed apartment where you are doing your own cooking and your own evenings. Nothing is listed for eating, drinking, laundry or a gym, and a 3 star rating sets the expectation at the plain end, so treat those two as the whole offer rather than the highlights of a longer list.
What that adds up to is a self contained apartment on an industrial street: Terrance Park itself is wide industrial land, sheds, and the reason any of this is here. That suits someone in Nairobi on work with a car, two people travelling together, or a longer stay where a second bedroom and a parking space count for more than a lobby. It does not suit anyone planning to walk into the centre, anyone without a vehicle, or anyone who wants hotel bars and company downstairs. Stunning 2 bed Cozy Furnished Apartment in Nairobi is a base for the day and a car back, not a place to spend the evening.

04Standing outside the ten quarters
These hotels are not in The Railway Quarter. They sit just outside the ten quarters this site covers, on the edge of the centre, and The Railway Quarter is only the nearest of the ten. What that means in practice is that you are in the wider city, not in the grid, and you will be travelling in and out for anything in the CBD.
The nearest quarter is the southern edge of the centre: wide industrial land, sheds, and the reason any of this is here. Nairobi exists because the Uganda Railway stopped here in 1899 to gather strength for the Rift, and the 1929 station, the old yards and the museum of locomotives sit on the CBD's southern boundary, ten minutes below Kenyatta Avenue; the quarter is 0.89 km from Kenyatta Avenue at Moi Avenue, which is 12 minutes on foot in a direct line. It is best for the museum, and for understanding the city's whole layout in one afternoon. After dark it is industrial and unlit in stretches. Daylight only, and a car back.

Book this one only once you have sorted out how you are getting back and forth, because that decides whether the whole stay 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 exactly is the apartment?+
It sits on Terrance Park in Greater Nairobi, outside the Central Business District. It is 2.3 km from The Railway Quarter, which is the nearest of the ten quarters this site covers. The street is wide industrial land with sheds, so expect the address to matter more than the surroundings.
What does the apartment actually include?+
The listed facilities are free wifi and free car parking, and it carries a 3 star rating. There is no restaurant, bar or laundry on the list, so plan on the apartment being self contained and on sorting meals yourself. The parking is the facility that does the most work here.
Can I walk into the centre from here?+
It is 3.13 km from Kenyatta Avenue at Moi Avenue, which is 40 minutes on foot in a direct line. That is a direct line on a map rather than a route, and the streets between are industrial and unlit in stretches. Daylight only, and a car back is the sensible reading.
How do I check whether it is available?+
Availability is checked through app.impt.io, the same place you book. Most rooms can be cancelled free, so you can hold a set of dates while you sort out a car or a driver. Enter your dates there and the booking goes through with the CO2 and credit terms applied.
