A three bed apartment on Kindaruma Road, in the new concrete on the ridge, built around the car rather than the street. The deciding question is whether you have one, because the centre is not walkable and the evenings here give you hotel bars and a ride anywhere else.
01What it is
Stunning 3 bed Apartment in Nairobi is a three star property at Skyhorse Apartments on Kindaruma Road, and it lists three things: free wifi, free car parking and an indoor pool. That is the whole list, and it is thin. There is no restaurant, no gym, no workspace and no airport transfer, so anything you want beyond a bed, a parking space and a swim you arrange yourself. The indoor pool is the one facility here that earns its place on a leisure stay.
What that adds up to is a self contained apartment in Greater Nairobi, 2.71 km from Upper Hill and Community, which is the nearest of the ten quarters this site covers. It suits a family or a small group with a car, people who want three bedrooms, a kitchen and parking, and who treat the apartment as a base rather than a hotel. It does not suit anyone on foot. The area is new concrete on a ridge, built for the car and the conference room, and after dark it is safe and dull: hotel bars, and a ride anywhere else.

04Standing outside the ten quarters
These hotels are not in Upper Hill and Community, and they are not in any of the ten quarters this site covers. They sit just outside the ten quarters, on the edge of the centre, and Upper Hill and Community is only the nearest of the ten. That puts you in the wider city rather than in the grid itself, so anything in the CBD means travelling in and out rather than stepping out of a lobby into it.
The ridge above the centre is new concrete, built for the car and the conference room: the tallest towers in the country, the big hospitals, the aid agencies, and an expressway ramp to the airport. It is best for meetings, a quiet night close in, and a fast run to the airport, and after dark it is safe and dull, hotel bars, and a ride anywhere else. The quarter sits 1.9 km from Kenyatta Avenue at Moi Avenue, which is 24 minutes on foot in a direct line, though that is the quarter's own distance and not a walk from these hotels.

06Questions
Where exactly is the apartment?+
It is at Skyhorse Apartments on Kindaruma Road, in Greater Nairobi. That puts it 4.35 km from Kenyatta Avenue at Moi Avenue, which is 55 minutes on foot in a direct line, and 2.71 km from Upper Hill and Community, the nearest of the ten quarters this site covers.
Does it have parking and wifi?+
Yes, both are listed free, along with an indoor pool. Those three are the entire facility list, so there is no restaurant, gym or workspace on site. Plan on the apartment covering the basics and the surrounding area covering everything else.
Can I stay here without a car?+
It is difficult. The street is built for the car and the conference room, the centre is not walkable from here, and the evenings are quiet apart from hotel bars, with a ride needed for anything else. A car makes the location work. Without one you are dependent on lifts and taxis for every trip.
How do I check availability?+
Availability and dates are shown on the booking page at app.impt.io, which is where Stunning 3 bed Apartment in Nairobi is booked. The booking page carries the current room options and the cancellation terms, so check it there rather than by phoning the apartment.
