Twilight Escape is an apartment-style, four star address on Argwings Kodhek Road in Greater Nairobi, on a ridge built for cars and conference rooms. The kitchen is what decides it: if you want to cook rather than eat out every night, this works, and if you want the centre at your door, it does not.
01What it is
Twilight Escape lists what a self-catering apartment needs: a kitchen with an oven, microwave and refrigerator, a washing machine, iron and board, air conditioning, a desk, a safe, a TV and free wifi. It adds a bidet, a shower and a WC, lifts, non smoking rooms and family rooms, a terrace, an outdoor pool and swimming pool, free car parking and parking, and first aid on site. The list is practical rather than generous: it gives you the machinery of a stay, not service, and it names no restaurant, no bar and no gym.
What that adds up to for you: Twilight Escape is a working base on Argwings Kodhek Road, close to the hospital and diplomatic run of that ridge, where you drive in, park, cook, sleep and leave again. The pool and terrace give you somewhere to sit at the end of the day, and the washing machine and kitchen make a longer stay cheaper than a hotel room. It suits families, medical or conference visitors with a car, and anyone who wants an apartment rather than a lobby. It does not suit you if you want the centre on foot: this is Greater Nairobi, and the centre is a ride away.

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 is Twilight Escape in Nairobi?+
It is on Argwings Kodhek Road, at Silverstone Apartment, in Greater Nairobi. That puts it in the new concrete on a ridge, built for the car and the conference room. It is 2.07 km from Upper Hill and Community, which is the nearest of the ten quarters this site covers.
Does Twilight Escape have a kitchen and a washing machine?+
Yes. The property lists a kitchen with an oven, microwave and refrigerator, plus a washing machine, iron and board, and a safe. Air conditioning, a desk, a TV and free wifi are listed as well. There is no restaurant or bar on the list, so self-catering is the point.
Is there parking, and is the area safe after dark?+
Free car parking and parking are both listed on the property. The street itself is quiet after dark: safe and dull, with hotel bars, and a ride anywhere else. That is why a car matters here, and why this address is not for anyone who wants to walk out into the centre.
How do I check availability at Twilight Escape?+
Availability is checked through app.impt.io, where the rooms and dates are listed. The property has family rooms and non smoking rooms, and it lists twelve photographs on file so you can see the apartment before you commit. The free car parking is worth confirming for the dates you want.
