Reviews
One of the best stays I've had in Nairobi. The garden was lovely for morning coffee. Communication was quick and friendly throughout.
Short stay between flights. Clean, comfortable and well located. Hot shower every morning with good pressure. Our host was welcoming and gave good restaurant tips.
Clean, comfortable and well located. Hot shower every morning with good pressure. Water was never an issue, even when the area had a shortage. The host checked in once to make sure we had everything.
Here for a conference. Everything was as described, and a few things were better. The WiFi was solid for video calls. Our host was welcoming and gave good restaurant tips.
A decent stay with a couple of small issues. Water was never an issue, even when the area had a shortage. The guards at the gate were friendly and I felt very safe. Communication was quick and friendly throughout. A couple more hooks in the bathroom would help.
Comfortable place and good value. The backup generator meant no stress about blackouts. The garden was lovely for morning coffee. Check-in was smooth and the host replied within minutes. The sofa could be a little firmer.
Stayed a week while house hunting. Good location and fair value, though not perfect. Power went off one evening and the generator took over within seconds. The garden was lovely for morning coffee. Communication was quick and friendly throughout. Check-out was a little rushed because of a tight cleaning schedule.
