A four star apartment property on Muthithi Road in Greater Nairobi, with kitchens, free parking and free wifi. Whether it is right for you turns on one thing: you want your own kitchen and a lift into the centre, not a hotel on the doorstep of the quarter.
01What it is
Stylish James Westland Place O72I95O3I9 is listed as a four star apartment property on Muthithi Road in Greater Nairobi, and the facilities list runs long. Apartments come with a kitchen or kitchenette, oven, microwave, refrigerator, toaster, washing machine, iron and board, and a bathroom with bath, shower, bidet and toiletries. There is free wifi, free car parking, a 24 hour front desk, 24 hour security, lifts, housekeeping, laundry and dry cleaning, a safe and smoke detectors. Food is covered by breakfast, breakfast in room, lunch and dinner, plus a restaurant, bars, a bar and snack counter, room service and special diets. Elsewhere the list is thin or plainly padded: a night club, a bowling alley, a golf course, horse back riding and a swimming pool sit beside an indoor pool, and none of it is vouched for here. Babysitting, family rooms, high chairs, a business centre and wheelchair access are listed.
What that adds up to is a self-contained apartment base rather than a hotel you step out of into the centre. You cook or eat in, park the car, use the desk and the wifi for work, and treat the pool, salon and fitness centre as extras to confirm rather than promises. The property sits in Greater Nairobi, 2.74 km from Kenyatta Avenue at Moi Avenue, which is 35 minutes on foot in a direct line, the far side of the quarter this site covers. Stylish James Westland Place O72I95O3I9 suits families and longer stays that want space, a kitchen and a car, and it does not suit anyone who wants to walk out of a lobby into the shops and bars of the centre.

04Standing outside the ten quarters
These hotels sit outside the ten quarters of the centre this site covers. Biashara Street and City Market is only the nearest of the ten, and it is where you would be heading, not where you are sleeping. Take that as the shape of your stay: you are in the wider city, just outside the ten quarters, on the edge of the centre, and anything in the CBD means travelling in and out rather than stepping out of a lobby.
The quarter itself is the market one, 0.63 km from Kenyatta Avenue at Moi Avenue, which is 8 minutes on foot in a direct line. 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. The streets are narrow, shaded, and the only part of the centre where the shops are still one-family wide. It suits kikoi and kitenge cloth, curios without the tour-bus markup, and an hour of architecture. It is a daytime quarter: the halls shut in the late afternoon and the streets empty with them, so plan the return before that.

06Questions
Where exactly is Stylish James Westland Place O72I95O3I9?+
It is on Muthithi Road in Greater Nairobi, outside the centre. The site measures it at 2.21 km from Biashara Street and City Market, which is the nearest of the ten quarters this site covers. That puts it beyond walking range of the quarter, so plan on a car, a shuttle or a taxi for the centre.
What does the property actually list?+
Apartments with a kitchen or kitchenette, oven, microwave, refrigerator, washing machine, iron and board, and a full bathroom. Free wifi, free parking, 24 hour front desk and security, lifts, housekeeping and laundry are listed, along with breakfast, a restaurant, bars and room service. Extras such as the pool and fitness centre are on the list but not vouched for.
What does getting into the centre from Greater Nairobi involve?+
You are not in the quarter. The site gives the property as 2.74 km from Kenyatta Avenue at Moi Avenue, which is 35 minutes on foot in a direct line, and the centre is a daytime quarter where the halls shut in the late afternoon. A car, the listed shuttle service or a taxi is the practical answer.
How do I check availability?+
Availability and any free cancellation are shown when you book through app.impt.io. The property is a four star apartment block with family rooms, so larger parties should check what is open for their dates before committing. There are no rates published on this site; the booking page carries the details.
