A rustic cottage and treehouse annex in Mirema, well outside the centre. The listed facilities are domestic and generous, and the distances are real. What decides it is whether you have a car, because the surrounding street is a transport edge rather than an evening one, and the site's own line is to cross it by car.
01What it is
The Annex at 64 is a four star cottage property at 64 Oakwood Springs Estate on Mirema Road, off Usiu Road, in Greater Nairobi. The listed facilities are mostly the practical kit of a self-contained stay: a kitchen and kitchenette with a microwave, refrigerator and toaster, plus coffee and water. There is free wifi and internet access, free car parking, 24 hour security and a safe. Bathroom fittings include a shower, WC, towels and toiletries, with slippers and a smoke detector. Outside there is a balcony, terrace and garden, and there is a golf course on the list. The list is thin on the things a city hotel normally trades on: there is no restaurant beyond bars, no gym, no airport transfer, and no front desk service mentioned beyond luggage storage and laundry.
For someone staying here, The Annex at 64 adds up to a self-catering base on the northern edge of Greater Nairobi rather than a central hotel. The kitchen, the parking and the garden make it work for a group, a family, or a longer stay with a car. It does not work for a visitor who wants to walk to meetings, museums or dinner, because the centre is 9.26 km from Ngara and the Globe, which is the nearest of the ten quarters this site covers. It suits drivers who want quiet and space and will treat the city as a place they drive to. It does not suit anyone planning on foot.

04Standing outside the ten quarters
These hotels are not in Ngara and the Globe, and they are not in any of the ten quarters this site covers. They sit a long way out, in the wider city, and Ngara and the Globe is only the nearest of the ten. Treat that as the honest starting point: you are outside the centre, and anything you want in the CBD means travelling in and back out again.
The quarter itself is the northern edge, where the grid loosens and the roads north begin. The Globe Cinema roundabout is the CBD's northern hinge, the fruit market beside it opens at four in the morning, and Museum Hill is the next rise beyond. The street feel is a flyover, a roundabout, and a market that starts before the light does. It suits early markets and the walk up to the National Museum, and it is a transport edge rather than an evening one, crossed by car. The quarter sits 0.81 km from Kenyatta Avenue at Moi Avenue, which is 11 minutes on foot in a direct line, but that measures the quarter, not your hotel.
