A three star serviced apartment block on Limuru Road, north of the centre, with a kitchen, a balcony and free parking. The one thing that decides it is the car: you need one to cross this transport edge, and without one the location works against you.
01What it is
TripleA Furnished Apartment lists what a long stay needs more than what a short one does. Each unit has a kitchen with a microwave, an oven and a refrigerator, a bathroom with a WC and towels, a TV, a safe, an iron and board, and a balcony. The block adds free wifi, free car parking, laundry service, luggage storage and cleaning, plus a garden and a playground for children. Non smoking rooms and family rooms are available, and the front desk and security both run around the clock. The list is thin on the things a business traveller looks for first: no meeting space, no gym, no restaurant, and no airport transfer.
What that adds up to is a self contained base rather than a hotel in the usual sense. At TripleA Furnished Apartment you cook for yourself, park on site, and let the playground and garden absorb the children, which suits families and anyone staying long enough to want a kitchen. It does not suit a first time visitor who wants the centre on foot. Greater Nairobi puts it some way out, and this is a transport edge after dark, cross it by car. The three star rating fits a plain, working address, not a polished one.

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.

Book TripleA Furnished Apartment when you want a kitchen and a parking space rather than a lobby, and confirm the dates before you commit to the Limuru Road side of town. 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.

06Questions
Where exactly is TripleA Furnished Apartment?+
It is at Triplea Apartments on Limuru Road, in Greater Nairobi, well north of the central business district. The site measures it at 10.06 km from Kenyatta Avenue at Moi Avenue, which is 126 minutes on foot in a direct line, so treat this as a car address rather than a walking one.
What is in the apartments themselves?+
Each apartment has a kitchen with a microwave, oven and refrigerator, a bathroom with towels and a WC, a TV, a safe, an iron and board, and a balcony. Extra facilities include free wifi, free car parking, laundry service, luggage storage and cleaning, with family rooms and non smoking rooms available.
How do I get into the city centre from here?+
By road. This part of Greater Nairobi is a transport edge rather than an evening one, and the site's advice is to cross it by car. The nearest of the ten quarters covered here is 9.47 km from Ngara and the Globe, which is the nearest of the ten quarters this site covers.
How do I check whether the apartment is free?+
Look at the availability calendar on the booking page for your dates. The listing holds twelve photographs and the full facilities list, including the 24 hour front desk, so you can see the layout and confirm what is included before you book. The front desk is staffed at all hours.
