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!

This property offers a private pool and free private parking. The accommodation features a shared kitchen, full-day security and luggage storage for guests.

Where do I start, this feels like out home in Nairobi. It was so nice and although it was shared, we felt like we were living with friends. We were comfortable and could watch Showmax or Netflix in the living room, eat in the dining room, do washing and make food in the really well equipped kitchen. We had our own bathroom separate from the bedroom. Bedroom wasn’t small. Great place and great people. Oh and we went to swim a couple of times in the cold haha. The area is great and actually walking distance to Westgate Mall and Sarit Centre.

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.
