Our family of 6 stayed for 2 nights and loved it! The bus was a very unique and fun get away, exactly as described. We loved staying in Karen, the property was beautiful, peaceful and close to everything. Highly recommend, we definitely hope to return!

We loved the accommodation! Fantastic atmosphere inside the bus at a very nice location in a quiet corner of the garden. We will definitely recommend this to our friends, and hope to come again!

Our stay at the Brandy bus was lovely. The bus is very comfortable, nicely decorated. Warm welcoming by Rhoda and Cathy. Our 2 boys (2 & 4) were so happy and excited about the "adventure" ;)

A quirky and fun place to stay in a very quiet neighbourhood (apart from the barking dogs, but they didn't bark all night and better to have a good guard dog in Nairobi). Absolutely loved the way the bus has been converted, including the add on bathroom at the back. There is plenty of privacy from the other residents on the compound and our 5 year old loved being able to use the swimming pool. 5 of us fitted comfortably and there was every amenity you need for a relaxing stay. Be aware that it is an old bus so if one of you gets up in the night, there isn't a quiet route to the bathroom! No food is provided so get provisions before you arrive. It was a good place to stay for our family and reasonable for 5 people.

Our stay at the Brandy Bus was magic, and we highly recommend it to anyone who wants to experience something a little different near Nairobi. Karen's thoughtful decorating and hosting touches made the experience extra special. The tennis court kept our 10 and 12 year old kids occupied. The jiko was already set up for an evening outdoor fire. The CD rack had something nostalgic for everyone. After a morning spotting lion cubs and a rhino calf at Nairobi National Park, and walking around the whimsical Kitengela Glass grounds and workshop, we settled into the comfortable Bus and it's sweet outdoor space. We are almost finished a one-year stay in Nairobi, and as we get ready to head back home, this was a perfect local tourist weekend to end the year. Thank you Karen!

Fantastic!! Only thing to bear in mind is, the inside isn't that tall. As a tall man (195cm / 6'4"), this got a tiny bit uncomfortable, but very manageable. Would more than happily stay again though!

Oh, brandy bus! The music in the background, the flowers, the silence and peace surrounding us, the charme of living as a nomad...I loved it all and can't wait to be back for a recharging weekend! Thank you!

We had a very good contact by. Mail and phone before my Arrival. Although I had a very late Arrival (after 12 PM) Bruce was waiting at the Backyard to welkome me and offering a drink

it's a beautful house, clean and cozy, a bit far from city centre, so it's quiet, nice to spend a whole afternoon in the garden with a cup of tea and enjoy the sunshine.

Fantastic

From the beginning I do not know it's the place of the film "the Constant Gardener". I just like the historic style and the quiet place. Enjoy the garden and balcony breakfast with sunshine. Then I got this make me feel amazing and surprised. For the all, it's a really good place for living in a city. Relaxing and peaceful. I recommend this place for your good holiday in Nairobi.

Great place to stay, as ever.

Lovely welcome by Sonia and all the friendly dogs. This was my second visit and I know I will stay here many more times!

Excellent and easy stay at Bruce's and his family's wonderful home which is exactly like the pictures promise. Airport pick-up worked really well and all family members were extremely helpful and relaxed. Thanks very much!

A relaxing place to stay. Breakfast was super, the location is fantastic - a stone's throw from shops and Karura forest - and the hosts were very welcoming. Would highly recommend!

nice apartment

Rose is a wonderful host, it was easy to communicate with her, she was very welcoming and helpful upon check in and during our stay. The apartment was very clean, and just like on the photos. The apartment block was very safe and family friendly in a great location, it was easy to get around by car to various restaurants and shopping malls. I highly recommend anyone to consider staying at Rose's place during their travel to Nairobi.

The apartment is great! The pictures are accurate, the place is very well equipped and everything works very well. The location is very good, very close to many shopping centers, with a small swimming pool and very friendly and helpful security staff. And of course, Rose is a wonderful host. very good communication - even gave us security updates!

This was one of the best Airbnb experiences I've had yet. The apartment is comfortable and homey with a desk and workspace (I liked that the best) the complex is very family friendly and completely safe and the location is ideal as it's far enough away to be quiet from the bustle of Nairobi and close enough to be accessible to anything you may need. Rose and her husband are very cool people. They were not only gracious hosts but fun to hang out with and get to know. I would highly recommend this listing for groups or families or any traveler looking to live the local experience. Will definitely book again in the future!

Nice place

Our host was wonderful! Rose was so accommodating and flexible, also a friendly person with an absolutely beautiful apartment in a conveniently located area of Nairobi. I 100% recommend staying with her, you will not be disappointed!

A nice place in a nice, hilly and green area at short distance of the city center. The apartment is clean and functional and Rose is a very nice host, ready to help you if needed and very friendly. Overall a very good experience. One comment, for those sensitive with noise, the bedroom can be quite noisy as soon as the trafic begins (but it is quite at night)

I stayed at Rose's apartment with a student of mine while we conducted a survey in Nairobi. We were affiliated with the British Institute in Eastern Africa, so Rose's apartment was very convenient (around a 10-15 minutes walk). We really loved our stay and we were really impressed with the apartment. The main perks are: 1. Excellent wifi 2. Very secure (24 hour security guards, and the apartment is on the 5 floor) 3. Very spacious, including an open kitchen 4. Comfortable beds, and all bedrooms en suite 5. Washing machine and lines for drying 6. Walkable to Java 7. Always lots of Ubers around I will definitely try to stay here again next time I am working in Nairobi.

The suite is incredibly cosy and well-designed. There are lots of great little details that make this feel like another home, like the good selection of breakfast supplies and the gin and tonic station. Great spot to be if you're visiting Nairobi but you don't want to be in the thick of things (or if you want to be closer to Gigiri). Would definitely stay again!

My wife and I travelled to Kenya and East Africa for our honeymoon, and for me it was a chance to return to a neighbourhood where I had lived 20 years ago. Yaniv & Katrina's private suite was to be our Nairobi base from which we could explore the city and surrounding regions. We couldn't have found a better setting and better hosts than these, they absolutely made all the difference. Everything was precisely as described with little extra flourishes including fresh flowers from the garden, snacks and even a G&T bar which was very welcome after our travels. The location is very peaceful, set among their beautiful gardens in Muthaiga but also very accessible and easy to get into and out of town. Katrina was incredibly helpful with so many aspects of our stay as well. They are both hugely knowledgeable about the area and life in Nairobi in general - providing us help with a phone, travel options & contacts, ideas for eating out and things to do nearby and across Nairobi (as well as some great ideas for our wider travels in Kenya and Zanzibar). The experience truly felt like a home from home, and my wife and I would thoroughly recommend Yaniv and Katrina's place as a homebase in Nairobi to anyone looking to travel for the first time or returning to Kenya.

I had a wonderful time here. The apartment is spacious and located in a garden, getting up, you will look on lush green on all sides. The decoration is just lovely and the service (daily housekeeping and laundry on weekdays, musli, coffee, fruits, juice and even Gin Tonic to serve yourself) exceptional for an Airnbn. Yaniv and Katrina are wonderful hosts, very warm and helpful. The neighbourhood is very green, lots of embassies, and the nearby Karura forest to stroll and chill, there is a small shopping complex nearby, where you can get pretty much everything you need ( there is even a small massage place). I will defintedly come again

Yaniv and Katrina were extremely warm and welcoming hosts. We immediately felt at home in the suite and appreciated all of the little details that set it apart from other places we've stayed, like a french press at the Tea & Coffee station (no instant coffee here!), nice soaps in the bathroom, a "snacks" box, etc. The neighborhood itself is safe, quiet, and charming, as well as ideally located: Karura Forest is only 5-10 minutes away on foot, while Village Market and Diamond Plaza are 5 mins by car/Uber. Yaniv and Katrina truly went above and beyond to help us feel comfortable and navigate Nairobi--we couldn't have asked for a better place to end our trip in.

You honestly couldn't ask for more from a host! The guesthouse was gorgeous, the property grounds were equally stunning. If you needed any assistance with anything Katrina will have it settled within a matter of a couple of minutes. The pantry was fully stocked with tea, coffee, breakfast choices and most importantly snacks. The property is in one of the best locations and pretty much central to everything whether you choose to walk or commute. I've already recommended friends to stay with Yaniv and Katrina and I strongly recommend that you do the same!

Fantastic place! Wonderful quiet garden, beautiful house, and great hosts! Definitely recommended

Thanks for a GREAT stay. A lovely oasis close to UN Avenue where I had to work. So nice to be in a very nice, safe, clean cottage instead of a hotel. Yet, Katrina made sure there were lovely snacks and treats- granola and yogurt, juice, chocolate bar (thank you!) and coffee with French press, among other treats. Very responsive, made sure I was comfortable. Overall fabulous place and hosts in ideal location (safe, next to Karura Forest and UN buildings). Thanks!

Yaniv and Katrina were extremely helpful and were quick to answer any queries we had. Especially useful was the outside access to their laundry facility - much needed after traveling from the coast. Location fine for us and yes access to local shopping by foot was handy. James and Mary Alice

A house of warmth and great hosts: Peter and Kelly are so warm and welcoming : my son and I felt at home and were well catered for. The house is tastefully furnished and still homy: Five star with lots of love :-)

The host canceled this reservation 18 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.

We were very happy to stay for 10 days in this lovely Hob House in Nairobi, Kenya. It is very well located in a nice area, easy and fast to get to all prominent locations including Village Market, Junction mall, National Gallery etc. from the house. The Hob house is comfortable, clean and very well decorated. Breakfast and dinner were very well organized. Kelly and Peter are perfect hosts, very helpful and friendly. We enjoyed very much their company, dinner parties and cinema nights! I would definitively recommend this place to my friends or return here when I would visit Nairobi again.

Lovely district of Nairobi, and location is good for getting onto northern bypass, village market, a 104 up country etc! Stayed on my way back from the Mara in this home stay just for one night. The house is beautiful and the hosts very warm and welcoming. They offered a nice dinner and breakfast for us during our stay, as well as a nice, much needed hot shower when we arrived! It is a clean, well appointed room with en suite bathroom.

Hob House is a nice and quiet place. Peter and Kelly are kind and professional. They ensure that the guest's comfort is maximized. I enjoyed the arrangements they propose when the guest needs transport. The food is plentiful and delicious. Waitresses always smile; they are very friendly.

And another lovely stay at Peter's Hob House (The new one. They moved since our last stay...) The new house is as lovely as the old one and I am sure that no one will ever regret their stay with Peter and his wife. The house is full of love and helpfully people. The cook is just amazing. In 3 weeks in Africa I have never eaten better food somewhere else. The accommodation is still very good and high quality. The house is very safe with his own safeguards and 2 dogs that will be only released during the night. You do not have to be afraid. During the day they are looked up and if you do not want to see them you will never met them. But I bet you want to because these 2 dogs are just amazing. Miss them! Will return back to these people for sure if I will ever be in Nairobi again.

The Hob House felt very safe and was a beautiful oasis slightly outside of the main hub of Nairobi. The rooms were clean and tastefully decorated and the backyard space was a very calming and relaxing place to hang out (and watch birds at the feeders). Expect to mingle with other guests in the common spaces and during meals.

Staying at the Hob House was an experience like no other. It does actually feel like staying with family or close friends, courtesy the warmth that Kelly brings to the place. The house itself is beautiful, immaculately decorated, with great taste and verve, and is comfortable and convenient. The staff is efficient and helpful. Salome is a great cook and very helfpful with anything that you may want. I got clothes ironed, the guy at the gate packed the Masai I had bought for me. Taxi services offered by Humpryies are reliable and reasonably priced. The beds are comfortable, food is delicious, the location albeit a little outside is not tol far away and Westlands is a 10 minute or so drive. I would not be staying anywhere else in Nairobi in the future. Give it a try; you wont regret it a single bit.

Bella ensured you enjoyed your privacy. For things not even provided in the listing, she was ready to find a way to make the service available like laundry (fees apply).

If a paradise escape from the hustle of town is what you are looking for, this wonderful two bedroom bungalow has it in spades. As a family of two adults, travelling from Canada with a 3 year old and 2 one year olds, we needed to find a place where our children would be able to play safely during the day. The main feature and selling point is the HUGE garden planted with wonderful old trees, flowers and grass. There is a smaller private area near the bungalow and as well a massive grassy area beyond we can play soccer/football. There is also a BBQ outside and the host provides outdoor seating and a table if you are planning on having gatherings outside. We brought our own cribs to accommodate the twins, but our host provided everything else we needed in terms of bedding. There were even two spare mattresses for the occasional guests. The kitchen is basic, with a small fridge, microwave, sink, countertop gas burner and pantry. If you do a lot of cooking and are used to an american size kitchen, you will find it a bit small. But our local househelp had no problem cooking up major feasts in it. The shower is an electric flow through which provides an adequate amount hot water for showers. The toilet is just fine and the washbasin is good. All the bathroom and kitchen facilities are rustic and what you would expect for a country cottage type accommodation. The house is a wooden construction, so during the cold season, you need to bring extra fleecy sweaters to avoid getting chilly at night. The host can provide hot water bottles for the beds. As my husband works near the UN complex the location was ideal, just a 12 minute drive away through the neighbourhood of Runda. It is also just a 10 minute walk to a restaurant with attached playground, which was handy for our 3 year old. The new superhighway, Thika Road, is a 3 minute drive, and connects you to the nightlife of Westlands in 15 minutes, and to the central business district in 15 minutes (at low traffic times). There is also a major mall with a modern Nakumatt supermarket about a 10 minute traffic free drive away, and many small local shops around the area. The mall also has a bouncy castle on the weekends for the kids. About a 10 minute drive away, along Kiambu road there is the Karura Forest, an amazing and SAFE place to walk for hours and see monkeys, rivers and fragrant Eucalyptus trees. Also along the same road is Paradise lost, a wonderful nature park with horse riding, a playground, boat rides, caves and waterfalls. In all we were so happy to have found this place and if you don't mind living simply, you will be rewarded with a garden paradise away from the hustle and bustle of dusty Nairobi.

Excellent place! Excellent concept! Thank you Bella!

The photos were true to life. Bella was quick to respond to all contact and helpful with arrival time etc. The house is well located, the garden is super. Being in a wooded setting there were a few issues with ants, mainly due to the fruit the monkeys were dropping from the trees. Good to have WiFi. Thanks.

Wow! What an incredible place and lady. Bella really went the extra mile for us... helping us navigate over the phone while we searched for her place, took us to the grocery store, extended our checkout... she really was wonderful. And the place was as advertised, if not even better! Could not recommend this place enough. Thanks, Bella!!

Great and serene place which is not far from amenities. Greatly recommended

good location close to my house, welcoming host

I enjoyed Bella's house very much. It was truly a serene environment. I was working in Nairobi for 11 days and this suited my needs perfectly. I was very glad to get away from the normal intensity of Nairobi, and yet the location was not far out at all. Bella was a very nice host and the 1-2 small problems that occurred were very quickly resolved.

We had a great time staying at Mark's apartment. It's modern and kept very clean, looks just like the photos. Communication with Eleni and Millicent was excellent throughout. Thanks, would definitely stay again.

Beautiful place. Convenient access, clean. Would definitely stay here again.

This is such a great space, it's cozy and spacious all at once. Located in a safe neighborhood that strikes a great balance between seclusion and proximity to malls, eateries and the like. It's exactly as advertised and you get to enjoy the great views from the rooftop. The host endeavors to keep communication channels open and help out whenever they can. Great value for money!

We enjoyed our stay at this modern apartment. Communication was smooth. Make sure to check out the pool and the nice view to the City on the roof. Recommended!

So amazing...had to re-book. One of the most welcoming and relaxing places I've stayed at. 5 star hospitality, clean and safe environment, modern decor. The roof top pool and view..whoa! Thanks Eleni.

Nice place, clean!

Mark's and Eleni's place was beautiful, clean, in a very nice part of town and in a nice complex. The check-in process was excellent and the hosts were very good communicators. Millicent, the caretaker, was also superb. I would stay here again without hesitation.

Place is exactly as pictured. Bright, contemporary and spotless. Very comfortable

Peter is a great host very accommodating to my at times complicated schedule .Due to ongoing construction next door noise levels in the mornings was high

This apartment was one of the best decisions I've ever made. The place is located close to shopping malls and a 10 to 15 minute drive to downtown Nairobi. Peter was a very good host. He was always reachable and would do his best to make sure that my stay was enjoyable. Highly recommend this place to anyone who wants to visit Nairobi.

Great safe Location, everything required for a very pleasant stay in an upmarket area of Nairobi. Perfect.

The host canceled this reservation 6 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.

the apartment is clean & tidy , location and security is great and Peter was very reachable incase help was needed.

Peter was an amazing host. The residence us conveniently located close to Yaya mall (within 10 minutes walking) across from Casablanca. The residence has all the amenities as described and very cozy. I highly recommend this space and looking forward to a return visit.

Peter is an amazing host, discret yet always available and reactive. I blindly recommend his apartment, well located, safe, with an excellent price/value ratio. Will definitely book there if I come back to Nairobi.

Peter's flat was in a great location and well kept apartment. Peter was very flexible and very accommodating with all my requests during my stay in Nairobi. I now have a home from home when i am in Nairobi. I highly recommend this place.

The lake house is the perfect get-away from Nairobi. 30 min. and you are in the most amazing landscape. The house is beautifully decorated but the best part is by far the garden and the lake. I would recommend a stay at the lake house any day.

I almost didn't want to write a review for this gem! We hosted a 7 girl getaway weekend and had the most fantastic time with great hosts. The house is beautiful in a serene and peaceful part of Tigoni surrounded by greenery. The staff were incredibly hospitable, bringing us extra drinks down to the lake, and indulging in our many meal time shifts. Highly recommended for a weekend away.

A beautiful house- A quiet green lake- A garden with the most wonderful plants and trees makes this place "ONE" of the most wonderful place to spend your week/end. The bird songs that go on through the day and in the morning is a treat for your soul. Chef Samuel Mbugua prepared the most delicious meals and House keeper Linda was very helpful and smiling. Mikul and Adam have been the most wonderful host with providing all the necessary help and more. We will come back for sure.

This is one of those truly magical spots in Kenya, a quick 40 min drive from the centre, a serene lake all to yourself and your guests. Huge grounds and a ton of trees to hang out under. Katrina gave us such a warm welcome and the team managing the house, especially the chef, were just gems in serving up feasts after feasts. Can't wait to be back!

Lovely location , Serene surroundings and very helpful jolly staff. Watch out for the fire ants in the garden if you have kids especially however the staff are quick to respond. Lovely kayaking and paddle zodiac available for the lake which we enjoyed . Will be back again

Beautiful location, so close to Nairobi. A perfect weekend escape! Linda was super helpful as was Robinson! Thank you.

The Lake House is such an idyllic and peaceful place to get away from it all, yet so close to town. The staff were absolutely delightful, and made our stay all the more perfect. I would highly recommend staying here!

It is a lovely place with beautiful views

I have stayed here several times. Tanja's place is beautiful, comfortable and now my favorite place to stay in Nairobi!

Everything about our stay with Tanja, Richard and Emma was perfect in every way. They have a beautiful home and kindly share it with their guests. Our work in Nairobi was quite demanding and coming back to the house was just as Tanja described - a peaceful retreat. Breakfast is fantastic - the rooms lovely with beautiful sheets and towels. The most important thing I can say is that we were made to feel most welcome!

Tanja's home is Amazing! Beautiful, peaceful, a truly awesome get away! I cannot say enough wonderful things about the home and the hospitality! Loved everything about our stay!

I stayed before. This time I was upgraded to the loft room and loved it. Good value for money.

We loved it so much we had to stay a second night! Tanja's home is truly wonderful, beautiful and peaceful...a gem.

I cannot speak highly enough of Tanja's beautiful home. I was welcomed and treated like family!

A great place to come "home" to after a busy day. Friendly relax atmosphere, clean white linen and interesting hosts. The verandah with a glass of wine is a must, my favourite spot.

Tanja and Richard are fantastic hosts and made us feel very welcome and at home. A lovely, quiet place to relax but yet close to everything you need in Karen. I would highly recommend it.

Lovely place, couldn't recommend more. You will not be disappointed!

The most beautiful place we have had to stay. It s even more beautiful in real life then it is on picture. It's perfect to relax. The only thing is that it's far away from everything, but you have a restaurant that's open from Tuesday until Sunday from 9am - 5pm.

a gem in the city

Beautiful treehouse style 1 bedroom. Karen is a residential neighborhood close to Giraffe Centre and Elephant Orphanage which is why we chose to stay here. Neighborhood was extra quiet - perhaps people were on vacation. We are city folk and we weren't ready for how isolated the house would feel, so if you are too just keep that in mind to prepare expectations! You will hear the Hyrax animal at night which can sound like a bird and be a little freaky. Overall though great place to crash before we left Kenya for home.

The treehouse is a beautiful design. The bathroom is large and spacious with a separate shower. The bedroom and lofted bed provided enough space for me, my wife and daughter. The location is conveniently located by the giraffe center, elephant orphanage, and Karen Blixen museum and provided a great place to be prior to our safari. Uber operates quite extensively in Nairobi and was easy to secure from this location. On occasion we experienced issues with the Wi-Fi and the hot water. While frustrating, they were resolved in a timely manner. Set your expectations for staying in beautiful, unique accommodations, forget about resort amenities and you will enjoy your stay.

Peaceful and rejuvenating place!

Great place and as described. Speedy internet, small fridge and cooking ware if you want to make a few meals there. Great place to spend a few days while you explore Karen. Could be a bit secluded if you are trying to explore a bigger area. 2nd bed comfortable and good for one person. Host Paul very responsive to texts and emails. BOHO cafe a bit disappointing, woman manager was rude and prices very high, but lots of great restaurants not too far away. Fun to hear tree hyrax and lions (near Nairobi National Park) at night. Would recommend, best if you get there while still light out to find.

Great place!!!

You will love it. It’s perfect

great place to stay

Nakia, the host is hospitable, caring and thoughtful. Her home is like a " homely but luxury accommodation" with modern amenities including super fast Wi-Fi. Quiet and safe apartment, delicious meals and excellent communication. I'll love to stay here again on my next visit.

Best home I could be, home away from home! The breakfast Nakia prepares for the guest every weekend is wonderful! I'll 100% recommend I'll always come back!

Had a wonderful stay at Nakia's place. Can't miss out the awesome fulfilling breakfast that she prepares for the guests. It's the highlight of the place. Also I love the place as it's quite and comes with privacy. Nakia introduced to other Airbnb guests as well and we had made good friends and went on events and dinners together. Over all it's lovely to be there and I hope to visit again :)

Nakia's place is of exceptional value for anyone needing a spacious, quiet, centrally located and well secured getaway in the city, both for leisure or business purposes. Though she is working and not present for most of the time (which we didn't need or expect), communication was prompt and when my partner and i needed to extend our stay, she made it easy for us to do so. Overall, this was a very good experience and I'd fully recommend this airbnb without hesitation.

Thank you so much, Peter and Nelly, for being the most awesome hosts ever! Before coming here, I somehow already thought it would be kind of nice to be hosted by you guys, but I would have never expected my stay with you to be that great! Living with you made me feel comfortable, happy, and inspired. I simply loved the relaxed sharing of food, music, and ideas. To be continued!

It was a great stay with Peter and Nelly. They are very easy-going and hospitable, and go out of their way to make the stay a pleasant experience. Their helper Grace always keeps the house spotless and comfortable, and makes good breakfast and chapati. Peter and Nelly have much to share about their startup experiences, their knowledge about the country, and it was really enjoyable talking to them. As a startup entrepreneur myself, I especially appreciated Peter's advices and encouragement. Thought only stayed one week, I already consider them as good friends. I would recommend their place if you are looking for intelligent, caring, and easy-going hosts and friends.

I was super comfortable in the apartment. Peter is very nice and I had some great chats with his lovely wife, too. Plus, their housekeeper, Grace, is so attentive and caring. (Tip her if she takes as good care of you as she did of me!). It's very nice that they share basic breakfast food and allow you to do laundry - which make the place an even better value. The hosts are very responsive to anything you might need. The apartment is clean, your room and bathroom a very decent size, and you can walk to cool things like The Alchemist bar and food trucks. I stayed for a bit over a week and was very satisfied with my choice of Airbnb in Nairobi.

I once again had a wonderful time at Peter and Nelly's place. I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a place to stay in Nairobi.

Peter and Nelly have a great place in a very nice neighborhood of Nairobi, close to lots of activities, restaurants, and shops. It's been a great time staying with them!

The host canceled this reservation 26 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.

Peter and Nelly's house has been just we needed for our stay in Nairobi. The room is big and very clean, and the bed was very comfortable. Peter and Nelly helped us a lot to organize our arrival and they gave us all the advise we needed for our first time in Nairobi.

Lucille's apartment is fantastic. It is spacious, clean and in a great location. Excellent value for money. Lucille was friendly and welcoming, and made sure that everything was ok throughout my stay. This included being really flexible with my check-out time (I had a late flight). Highly recommend you stay here.

We had a great stay at Lucille's place in Westlands, at the conveniently located Fine Diamonds apartments. Lucille is very responsive and was extremely attentive to our needs. She made arrangements to get the keys to my sister who lives in Kenya ahead of our arrival, since we were on a late evening flight. The place was meticulously maintained and equipped with all necessary appliances, including, to our delight, a washer and dryer. Lucille also arranged periodic and on-demand cleaning with her trusted and very polite associate Flo, who gave an almost top to bottom cleaning of the apartment home. We were traveling with our kids, and they were also happy with the stay. Due to our travel, we divided our stay into to separate trips and were even able to make changes to our itinerary due to last minute plans. Our host was very accommodating and ensured that both stays were convenient and comfortable.

Lucille and her flat are brilliant. She's very responsive, and the flat itself is very large, clean, and comforting. Will definitely stay here again when I'm in town

Great. No complaints. The space is huge and spacious. The location is central.

First time using Airbnb. My stay at Lucille's place has made me into a convert...thanks for the wonderful experience.

As great as before. It's a cliche, but I'm torn about writing a perfect review since it means I'm less likely to be able to return again - I had to wait two months for Lucille to become free this time, and stay at some hideous place near the racecourse before I could move here. But there's nothing to fault here. Lucille's place is Kenyan perfection.

Myself, hubby and our son came up from South Africa to Nairobi for a family wedding. We had 6 wonderful days/nights at Lucille's apartment. It was in a perfect location for all the running around we needed to do in Nairobi. It truly was a home from home in terms of comfort and facilities but we also felt like we were on holiday and could enjoy the new surroundings. Lucille was a great host and through her support made this possible for us. Lucille welcomed us and was always available to answer any questions. Thank you Lucille, we would thoroughly recommend your lovely appartment!

Love the apartment, my first choice when I come to Nairobi. Lucille is a great host, helpful at all times.

Very spacious, worth the money, modern. Efficient communication with the owner and caretaker. We would have booked longer if it would have been available. Definitely a place to go back.

Beautiful place and very easy stay.

This place is amazing! Besides the stellar views and great art on the walls, it has fast wireless, strong hot showers (which can be a rarity in Kenya), and excellent security. In addition, you can walk to a ton of great restaurants, etc., nearby. I look forward to staying here in the future!

Eleni's place did not disappoint...definitely a charming worth while place to stay if you're in Nairobi! Great location - mall, restaurants/cafes within walking distance; very cozy with a relaxing minimalist interior design; and amazing skyline views from the balconies and downstairs patio (the sunrise view was everything). The staff were very friendly, helpful and prompt in tending to our queries. Look forward to staying here again next time I'm back in Nairobi :)

This light-filled, airy apartment is an awesome base for exploring Nairobi's tech innovation hubs along nearby Ngong road. The stylish decor is complemented with small touches, like fresh cut flowers, and a great selection of cookbooks if you want to use the well equipped kitchen. If not, I found a great Lebanese 'garden restaurant' and decent Italian gelato shop a gentle stroll from the apartment, while Ngong's coffee shops & food courts are also within easy walking distance. The apartment's handcrafted minimalist furniture and local art are great, but perhaps my favourite experiences of the apartment were dawn & dusk chai on the generous verandah 10 floors above the neighbourhood, with panoramic views of the bustling city.

To say Eleni's apartment is stunning would be an understatement. From the modern minimalist furniture and decor to the striking art and local pieces, the wrap around balconies with skyline views of the city, immaculate bathrooms and comfortable beds that made it rather difficult to leave the apartment!!! Not to mention the convenience of being within walking distance of Yaya shopping mall and a short ride/drive to Nairobi's hip night spots. Our only regret was that we didn't stay longer! We also really appreciated the ease of communication with Eleni and must also commend her driver, Richard and housekeeper, Maureen for their assistance and professionalism. Thank you for a wonderful stay. We will certainly be back and will recommend you to all our friends!

Eleni's place is one of the best airbnb's I have stayed in. I was very surprised by how big the apartment is and how well furnished and decorated it was, and the stay was very cost-friendly. We arrived late (around 1am) and Eleni notified us that Richard will be checking us in, and we were able to check in smoothly with the help of Richard even at such a late time. Much thanks to Richard :) I would definitely recommend staying at Eleni's place.

Beautifully decorated penthouse with nice views over the city. I would recommend this place for a relaxed break in Nairobi. Fully equipped and clean apartment and kitchen. Looks and feels just as like the pictures. One of my best airbnb stays. MUST COME BACK!!

Nice clean apartment, perfect queen bed, and an awesome home cooked breakfast- yup we would book these guys again! Thank you so much for your flexibility and helping us navigate getting in and out of Nairobi. Till next time :)

Serrainne and Eric are very friendly and wonderful, they are welcoming, I was to check in at 3pm but due to some delays it wasn't possible but the hosts were so caring in that they kept on calling and making sure I was okay and safe, the house was clean and the neighborhood was also clean and quiet.. Communication was great in that I learned somethings from Serrainne and she also learned somethings from me. You are such great hosts, I would love to stay with you again. Thank you.

Great hosts!

It was my first experience with Airbnb and it was great! Serrainne & Erick were very kind to me, the solved all my doubts since the beginning. The location is great and I can say is a welcoming place to stay. Thank you Serraine & Erick for your hospitality!

I had a great stay. They were very flexible with my late arrival and my room was clean and comfortable. It was also great chatting with them. I would stay with Erick and Serrainne again.

Der Flughafentransfer hat super geklappt und die Ankunft verlief problemlos. Das Zimmer war gut und Erick und Seirraine waren sehr offen, nett und kommunikativ. Insgesamt eine gute Unterkunft, die wir wieder buchen wuerden.

Erick and Serrainne are great hosts, very clean apartment in a safe gated community. A family full of positive energy with an adorable daughter, a true home from home. I highly recommend them to anyone looking to feel at home in Nairobi.

My son & I had a great stay at Serrainne & Erick's place! It's located within close proximity to various restaurants and shopping centers in Nairobi which was perfect as we could walk into the city for breakfast or just to explore. We didn't get a chance to meet Serrainne nor Erick but if we ever needed anything we could quickly & easily get in contact with them. They were also very helpful with recommending excursions, restaurants, etc. We had a fantastic stay!

Sherry is very communicative and has staff which follows up with any issue to resolve them promptly...The location is just excellent..The flat is good if you are fit and climb 5 floors..

Sherry's place had the perfect location! Short walk from nightlife, shops and malls. It was clean, and very reasonably priced. Wifi wasn't the best, and my only concern was when I stepped out of the apartment for a short period of time, I came back and noticed someone had been in the apartment while I was gone :/ Sherry had informed me she had stopped by the say hi and fix a problem. Didn't inform me until after I mentioned it to her. Nothing was missing, but I thought it was kinda weird. Besides that my stay was great!

Host: I stayed here for 2.5 weeks.Sherry is professional yet friendly and flexible, though we hardly ever met, she ensured that all my queries were responded to promptly either by her or her assistant. Check in was smooth, recommend you use one of her friendly cabs who will have collected the key if you are droppin in late. Listing: Westlands area is generally expensive this was a steal for the price, location and convenience. Its a clean, comfortable, functional 1 bedroom apt. with a balcony that oversees high-end buildings and good views. Wifi was impressively fast, Sherry aptly defines her accommodation - what you see is what you get. Don't expect a fancy building nor an elevator - but then again you are not paying for the Ritz or the Hilton.

The apartment is centrally located and walkable to places like sarit canter,westgate,oval mall,havana,brew bistro etc.Communication was great and Sherry's very kind, reliable and quickly responded to emails and any issues were quickly addressed.Very close to everything and overall a budget accommodation for a comfortable stay.

The apartment is perfectly placed just a short walk from most of the bars and restaurants that I frequented and an easy Uber to the ones further afield. The apartment had everything I needed and a lovely balcony where I could sit in the evening sun with a book. Sherry was always available, helpful, and friendly. All in all, great value and I would certainly stay again. Thanks Sherry

Sherry, is very accurate in the description you get about the apartment, i was my second time staying with her , as always she was very quick any issues that i had,very friendly and helpful thank you
