The neighbourhood felt pretty safe, quiet, and had a few malls and restaurants nearby. Our friends living in Nairobi recommended it. The service was ok. The room was large and had all the amenities you would need.

They did not honor our group rate even though there were 50 of us. I asked the manager for the TOTAL for how much opening up the second bedroom would be, and she told me the rate for only one night. when i repeated it back to her, she confirmed. if i had known it was not the total i would never have booked it. Very unhappy with our treatment at 4am, though the rooms themselves are very decent

Stayed 3 nights with a group of friends and felt like home. Apartments are modern with high end appliances and fixtures. Rooms are spacious and kitchen is fully equipped. The area felt safe and had a small shopping mall just two blocks away. Staff and security were extremely kind and helpful. The pool was under maintenance the week we stayed but otherwise everything was amazing.
