Nice apartment

Very big, clean and nice apartment. Close to Giraffe Center and Karen Blixen Museum. Not very close to CBD, but Bolt is cheaper. Very safe. Good communication with the owner. Terrace outside! Recommend!

Although we stayed in a different apartment than the one advertised, we had a comfortable stay, the bed was especially comfy, and the owner was very responsive and helpful with all my queries.

The location near Waterfront in Karen was great, I had wonderful neighbours in the next-door apartment. The building is a quaint style and the apartment is homely. I greatly appreciated the responsiveness and helpfulness of the host Jacque and Ann. The security guards were wonderful too. I felt very well cared for, after an exhausting flight from New Zealand. Great place to land, thank-you 💖

I really enjoyed my short stay at Jacque's apartment. She is always readily available to address all guest's needs. It is a very quiet and safe place in an upper-class populated district. There are all the facilities needed for a stay: kitchen, hot shower, washing machine, mosquito net, etc.

Don't pass over this quiet, safe and secure plush suburb of Nairobi!

Absolutely everything was supplied and we evem joked that we couldn't think of anything missing. They even provided cooking oil, spices, butter and milk! The apartment was spotless and comfortable and just a short walk to a supermarket and a sportsbar/restaurant (called Scotsdale) that we enjoyed so much. Its a quiet, safe and secure plush suburb of Nairobi and only a short Bolt ride to and from the madness of the capital 😆 Thanks so much for a fabulous time Jacque and Nancy.

Jacqui is such a welcoming host. I liked the flat location and comfort. It was a great gateway to my long trip. The Gallery Mall is very close, with great facilities to pick up cash, or food, or even visit a health food shop.

Nice stay in Karen, Nairobi

It was clean, comfy bed, everything you need in the kitchen. Jaque was very helpful and answered all my questions (and I ask a lot, lol) at once. She even helped me to find a guide to Nairobi National Park in the last minute. It is far from the city but the neighborhood is the safest in Nairobi. Nancy was waiting for us when we arrived and immediately let us in. There were eggs, bread and milk in the fridge for us. I can recommend this place.

It is a wonderful apartment in a quiet area of nairobi. And still everything you need is not far. Communication with the host was flawless and easy. She was very helpful and answered all my questions. The kitchen was fully staffed with everything you need. Even a big selection of different spices I had a great stay

From the moment Jacaque welcomes you, you instantly feel at home with a well equipped kitchen, super comfortable bed, well light rooms and peaceful surroundings which makes it an ideal option for those looking to escape the hustle and bustle of downtown Nairobi while remaining close to the action. I would not hesitate to stay again!

We were met on arrival by Naomy who was very friendly and helpful. The location was close to tourist attractions - Giraffe Centre, Karen Blixen Museum. Bomas of Kenya. It was in a gated community so felt safe.
