A four star apartment on Kindaruma Road in Kilimani, on the ridge above the city centre. The location decides it: this suits you only if you have a car or a driver, because the apartment is built for people who come and go by vehicle, not on foot.
01What it is
Sunlit Apt Kilimani Gym & Parking 1 Min to shops is a four star apartment at Kindaruma Homes on Kindaruma Road, in Greater Nairobi. The list is built around the self contained stay: a kitchen, a washing machine, an iron and board, and a bathroom with a shower, WC, toiletries, bathrobe and slippers. Free wifi and a TV cover the inside. Outside there is a balcony and a terrace, free car parking, a lift, 24 hour security and smoke detectors. Breakfast is listed, along with cleaning and laundry service, luggage storage, a safe, express check in, family rooms and non smoking rooms. The list is thinner than it looks in places: a barber and beauty salon, a market and a playground appear without any detail, and a golf course is listed with no indication of where it is or how you reach it.
What that adds up to for a stay at Sunlit Apt Kilimani is a practical apartment for someone who wants a kitchen and a washing machine rather than a hotel room, and who is not planning to walk into the centre. The quarter is described as 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. That is the verdict: this suits a business stay or a longer family stay with a car or a driver, and it does not suit anyone who wants to step out of the door and into the life of the city.

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.
