A one bed apartment in Westlands with a pool and a gym, reached easily from the Nairobi Expressway. It is for people who want to cook and park, and who will use the centre as somewhere to go rather than somewhere to stay.
01What it is
Westlands Haus of Joe Luxurious One bed with a Pool & Gym Nairobi Expressway views Closer to the UN and Sarit center is a four star apartment, and the list is built around staying in. There is a kitchen and a kitchenette, an oven, a microwave, a refrigerator, a washing machine, an iron and board, a safe, free wifi, free car parking and lifts. The rooms have a balcony, a bath, a shower, a WC, towels, toiletries and slippers. Outside there is an outdoor pool, a garden and a bar. The list is thin on service: no restaurant or room service is named, and no gym equipment is specified, so ask before you count it.
For a stay, Westlands Haus of Joe Luxurious One bed with a Pool & Gym Nairobi Expressway views Closer to the UN and Sarit center works best if you are driving in or out of the city and want your own kitchen, parking and a pool at the end of the day. It suits longer visits, people on UN or Sarit Centre business, and anyone who would rather not eat out every night. It does not suit you if you want to walk to the Central Business District sights, because 3.47 km from Biashara Street and City Market, which is the nearest of the ten quarters this site covers, is not a walk you would do twice a day.

04Standing outside the ten quarters
Before you book, be clear about where these hotels are. They sit well outside the centre, in the inner suburbs, and they are not in any of the ten quarters this site covers. Biashara Street and City Market is only the nearest of those quarters, which is not the same as being in it. You are in the wider city here, and every trip into the Central Business District is a journey in and out.
The market quarter itself is narrow, shaded, and the only part of the centre where the shops are still one-family wide. 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. It is best for kikoi and kitenge cloth, curios without the tour-bus markup, and an hour of architecture. After dark it is a daytime quarter: the halls shut in the late afternoon and the streets empty with them. It lies 0.63 km from Kenyatta Avenue at Moi Avenue, which is 8 minutes on foot in a direct line.
