Our host (Pauline) was super helpful, cared for our well-being and comfort. She stays in the apartment (but respects your privacy), prepares the breakfast and waits for you to come home safely. The breakfast was really good and we could choose what we wanted (eggs/baked beans/pancakes) next to toast, cereals and tee/coffee/cocoa. Our room was quite spacious with a big bed (two matresses and one blanket). The area was calm, about 20min Uber drive away from the Nairobi bustle. It is really easy to get an Uber/bolt in the area. The house itself is guarded 24/7 so you feel safe.
The bathroom was worn down, the shower took long time to get warm and the water pressure wasn’t really sufficient. But I think you’ll have to deal with those issues in a lot of places in Nairobi.
So don’t expect a beauty palace in the bathroom, but it does the job :)

Excellent breakfast, very good location, place looks safe, Pauline very friendly. I would only suggest to check the hot water because it was too hot and difficult to regulate. The internet is a bit slow, otherwise great place. It is hot in the room, I suggest a fan because when you open the windows you hear a lot of noise and the mosquitoes come in.
Very hot shower water and internet a little slow.

The room was spotless and extremely comfortable. The rest of the shared space - living room, dining room were cosy too.
Pauline was very polite and friendly. We had an early flight, so she laid breakfast out for us at 6 am. Thanks!
Hot water was not really 24/7, which we weren't told when we were shown the bathroom and a switch that you need to turn on for hot water. Tried to take a hot shower the night before an early am flight, and waited a long time for the water to heat up before giving up. Luckily, Pauline was up the next morning at 5, so we checked with her and she then said it was solar-powered. She offered to heat water for us in a little bucket which we had to use prudently on that cold morning. Other than this hiccup, our stay was very comfortable!

Clean and comfortable bed
The room was nice and spacious
Breakfast was good and timely
It took a while for the hot water to come on but it did atleast. According to your advertisement we thought it was a hotel and not an apartment not that it matters . Probably you need to change that .

Pauline is extremely helpful and nice, i would rate this accommodation lower without her
nice room, looks like the pictures
good price
also the common area and balcony is beautiful
very good breakfast
they offer laundry service
the first time it was a bit difficult to get there and find the place
not actually a hotel, it’s more like a shared apartment . For some people this might not be private enough, cos you share the common area with other guests. The rooms are not really soundproof.
the water in the shower didn’t always get warm or it took a long time, so i had to shower cold a few times

The breakfast was excellent. Host was so kind and there whenever we needed her. House felt nice and cosy.
I didn't quite know what to expect when I learnt that we are sharing the house with other guests. For introverts, it may not be the best fit as you have to share common areas like the living room, kitchen and balcony. Also got the smallest room, which I came to learn once I arrived at the property. And my room TV had only one channel, which limited my comfort as I had to wait for the other guests to check out to use the living room TV.

Great location, very comfortable. Pauline was very helpful.
Access to the building is a little disconcerting, through the dark and wet basement car park. Urban mosquitoes are a nuisance

The host was very nice and accomodating. The place itself was really clean, beautiful and spacious.
