    Great roof top terrace and gym

    Fans from the nearby hotel was a little disturbing when you were on the balcony.

    The Airbnb itself was quite pleasant. The cleanliness and ambience were excellent making it indeed tranquil.

    Only one towel however was provided per guest and that meant there was no option for a refresh during our three nights stay. Surprisingly, the towels were locked away restricting guest access. While the rest of their service was good, this linen policy detracts from the whole experience of tranquility. Please consider revising your linen policy.

    Hello Nenad ✨ I do hope you’re keeping well! 😁 I appreciate you again bringing up your concern of our “linen policy” & I remain apologetic for any inconveniences caused. As already mentioned via our tele-conversation, there was evidently a misunderstanding from your part which I did offer to remedy however, you declined. Nevertheless, I truly am so pleased to learn that you enjoyed your stay 🤗 and found the apartment clean 😇 as well as appreciated its unperturbed nature 😊 I look forward to welcoming you back! 😁 Take care, Aly

    The courtesy & hospitality of the host and house-keeping staff.

    Some minor maintenance required and lack of Airconditioning.

    Hello Ashish ✨ I do hope you’re well! 😁 Firstly, I appreciate your honest & candid review 😌 - many thanks in advance if you could drop me a DM or an email (nyceapartments@gmail.com) to further expound on what I can have touched-up in regard to the minor maintenance issues you mentioned. Secondly, I do apologise for the lack of an AC unit at the apartment. To be honest with you, it’s not common to have one in Nairobi as the city is not humid. However, I believe there are fans provided at the apartment. Nonetheless, do know that I have raised your suggestion (thank you, by the way 🤗) with the property manager 😇 Other than the above, I’m glad to learn that my apartment managers took great care of you & treated you well during your stay! 😊 I look forward to welcoming you back! 😁 Take care, Aly

    The apartment is located on the 15th floor of the SkyNest Building and is very conveniently located in the Westlands area. It also has a balcony with good view. The host was good and very prompt with communications. There is an onsite restaurant and a small grocery store. The apartment also provided access to the rooftop infinity pool and gym

    The apartment was immaculate, with high-quality furnishings. The location is very convenient, allowing easy access to nearby malls and restaurants. A highlight of our stay was the exceptional service provided by the apartment manager, Miss Daisy. She was on-site upon our arrival and went above and beyond to help us settle in. When we encountered an issue with a lock, she was incredibly responsive, resolving it promptly and even checked in later to ensure everything was okay. After we left, she also assisted us in retrieving my forgotten jacket.

    I will not decrease the apartment rating because of this aspect, as it is beyond the remit of the apartment owner. However, I feel it is important to raise it. Unfortunately, our experience was tainted by the building’s security. My partner was harassed by security on multiple occasions, despite having both the elevator keycard, and apartment key. One member of security in particular was openly accusatory and hostile, which made my partner very uncomfortable. We escalated this issue to the management, who said he would talk to his team. I heard nothing back on this. The hostility was only directed towards my partner when she returned to the apartment alone. When we were together, no one questioned us, nor when I was alone (without a key and keycard). I was not questioned by any member of security. Was it due to the fact I am white and my partner Is black? Abhorrent behaviour. It is appalling that a guest should be treated this way. A polite inquiry to ascertain if we she was resident or asking her to produce the keycard would have sufficed, but the accusatory approach taken by security was entirely unnecessary and unprofessional. While both the apartment and Miss Daisy's hospitality were outstanding, the security issues significantly marred our stay.

    Property response:

    Hello Padraig ✨ I do hope you’ve been keeping well! 😁 Firstly, thank you for your candid & honest feedback. But most importantly, I am terribly sorry for the experience your partner encountered with the building’s security team. My apartment manager did mention you having brought this to her attention during your stay (May ’24) & I did not take it lightly. The ordeal that your partner faced was absolutely unacceptable however, do remain knowing that I myself engaged the property manager, building management and security provider (about 2 months ago) to ensure that there is no repeat of this whatsoever. If you’d like to share any additional and/or further detailed information with me kindly do so using the following email address - nyceapartments@gmail.com Nevertheless, I’m glad to learn that you found the property perfectly situated within easy reach to nearby malls (Sarit Centre - approximately a 4min walk away & Westgate Shopping Mall - approximately an 11min walk away) & several restaurants! 🤗 Additionally, I’m pleased to learn that my apartment manager tended to you hastily during your stay as well as ensured you were happy & comfortable during the duration of your stay 😇 All in all, I’m delighted that you enjoyed your stay ☺️ as it was an absolute pleasure to host you & your partner 😊 & I would love to host you again! 😌 Take care, Aly

    I liked how equipped the place is. You have a mini market as well as a restaurant and pastry shop down stairs and an infinity pool, fully equipped gym and seating are on the roof. Sarit center is a short walk. Apartment is well designed with both rooms self contained. Having a tv in the master bedroom is icing on the cake

    Everything was clean, bright and fresh. Bedsheets and towels and bathroom were spotlessly clean. The apartment was spectacular. The complementary fruit was just what was needed as we arrived tired and and a little hungry. Views great. Location is perfect. Swimming pool and gym were good. Coffee shop downstairs and supermarket were much needed. It was safe and secure. Above all was the staff for whom nothing was an issue and my queries were promptly answered. My request for a late check out really helped me deal with my travel fatigue. Thank you very much Ms Alyvidza and team. My son actually wanted to stay a few more nights. Next time for sure.

    Everything was good truly. I don't have any complaints.

    The apartment of Aly is amazing. The furniture is modern and everything was working properly. Aly was at all time very communicative and helped as far as possible. For any daily requests I was able to contact her employees who where also responsible for the housekeeping. Also those two ladies were very friendly and did a very good job. An additional big advantage is the location of the apartment. It is in the middle of Westlands and footwalk to everything needed. Especially party people should enjoy their stay there as the amazing club The Alchemist is just across the street.

    There is nothing.

    Host and helper(s) were great. Any issues were addressed quickly. High level of finish in the apartment.

    The patio chairs are worn and nearing their end of life. There’s a low hum at night from the building that once you hear it, you can’t “unhear it”. And it’s a deep hum that you feel in your body. My friend didn’t mind it but boy, it sure drove me insane. I stayed another week but booked somewhere different because of it. The lack of air conditioning is problematic. You may think “just open the windows at night” but the dust from the streets below makes its way up, so (for me) I would get a stuffy nose and couldn’t breathe - pick your poison I guess: either sweat in bed and breathe freely or stay cooler but become a mouth-breather😳

    Property response:

    Hello Tim ✨ I do hope you’ve been keeping well! 😃 Indeed, “the patio chairs are worn out and nearing their end of life” & I do apologise for their unaesthetic look… As the patio set is rattan furniture thereby, woven by hand they do have a lengthy lead time, however, I am hoping to receive a new set next month 😌 Regarding the “deep hum”, you may have left the bathroom light switch on which also controls the extractor fan & hence, you couldn’t “unhear it”, the “low hum” that is. As to the lack of air conditioning in the apartment, I can only imagine the discomfort you endured and especially when Nairobi is experiencing unusually high temperatures due to a high-pressure system which formed in the aftermath of the El Niño phenomenon. However, there are 2 fans in the apartment in the meantime & please do know that I have raised your suggestion (thank you, by the way 🤗) with the property manager. Other than the above, I’m glad to learn that my apartment managers were helpful during your stay as well as hastily solved any issues 😇 I do hope you enjoyed your stay & I look forward to welcoming you back! ☺️ Take care, Aly

    It was our first time visiting Nairobi and we couldn’t have chosen a better place/location. There’s a mall across the road and It was super easy to get around. The beds are super comfortable and everything you need is in the apartment. Let me not forget the lovely view from the balcony!

Having the Slate restaurant and convenience store downstairs came in super handy. Ali was super great with communicating with us throughout the booking process and helped us arrange an airport transfer. Can’t wait to be back!!

    Great location, good condition, great gym area

    Communication of host was inappropriate. Accusing me to be „a liar“ because I booked the room as „single occupied“ but had a local friend visiting me for coffee one day and the manager accused me to be „more than one person in the flat“, trying to charge me extra for „additional occupation“

    Property response:

    Hello there, Thimo ✨ I do hope this finds you well! 😃 For future reference, just so wires are not crossed & harmony is achieved, kindly note that when you make a reservation for 1 guest that means that no other individual should stay overnight. Additionally, it goes without saying that despite you (as the guest) occupying the apartment it is only respectful that when staff are undertaking their housekeeping duties in the apartment that other individuals are not under-clothed. Other than the above, I’m glad to learn that you enjoyed the various amenities offered at the property, the location of the property as well as the condition of the apartment 🤗 I look forward to welcoming you back 😊 Take care, Aly
