The location was very accessible and tucked in away from the busy roads which ended in a quiet, peaceful and relaxing stay. I loved the warm welcome of the host, very welcoming people, clean utilities and generally a very comfortable and peaceful atmosphere. Was worth the price. Definitely at the top of my list.

Our stay with Mary was just perfect for our first night in Nairobi! She took care of us very well by arranging a very good driver to pick us up from the airport, by cooking us dinner and breakfast and by making us feel very welcoming. The room was perfectly clean and there was nothing that we missed. We would definitely recommend her and will come back!

Situated in Nairobi, Villa Rock Stop Falls offers a garden.

A continental breakfast is served daily at the property.

After a 17 hr layover and no sleep on the plane my girlfriend and I arrived at this beautiful place early around 5am and we’re greeted with very friendly faces. They arranged pick up at the airport and it was seamless and super easy about 30 minutes away. When we got into our room all we heard was the sound of a amazing waterfall coming from the window which was so tranquil and peaceful to take a nap. Even though breakfast was only till around 10am, they were kind enough to still make it. This place has such a zen feeling and beautifully built and clean. The owner of the property’s son Norman was so kind and even offered to take us around town showing us all the highlights of his city and was so welcoming and now have a new friend from Kenya!

Set within 6.5 km of Kenyatta International Conference Centre and 9.1 km of Nairobi National Museum in Nairobi, Juddy Place offers accommodation with seating area. There is a private entrance at the homestay for the convenience of those who stay. There is a children's playground and guests can make use of free WiFi and free private parking.

Juddy is the kindest, most welcoming host I’ve ever had the pleasure of meeting. As newcomers to Nairobi, my friend and I were a bit nervous especially after reading about safety concerns online and having everyone in the US warn us. However, Juddy encouraged us to take matatus, told us exactly which ones to take and where to find them, and what rates to expect. She also told us what prices to expect for fruits and other goods, which is really valuable for bartering down the mzungu prices. Without her, we wouldn’t have been able to fully experience Nairobi. The house is in a guarded compound within a safe middle class area of town. The rooms are spacious and clean.

    Caroline was a lovely host. She also drove us around town for a day which was very nice and a great introduction to Nairobi. The apartment was very spacious, huge tv, water dispender, washing machine, a well equipped kitchen, etc. Good wifi. The terrace is huge and it’s lovely to sit outside. There’s a small gym in the building and pool on the roof. The gate is guarded. Adlife plaza is just around the corner to buy groceries and exchange money (the best rate I found in Nairobi). There’s a pharmacy under the building to buy water.
