First time experience for my Friends home for me.
Great location. House itself was great. It does need a little TLC, lights were out and need replacing, water pressure is off. We requested a Chef and his name is Nicholas and was absolutely amazing. Did have difficulty initially as no one was there to great us and we had to wing it a little. Ester thought we had not paid for 8 guests but I double checked and we had indeed paid for all 8 guests. I will definitely use this property in the future but will ask Ester to fix the issues before residing there again. But once fixed this is a huge gem in Nairobi.
